Services: Tours and Rentals

Crafting Unforgettable Moments

At Finger Lakes Watersports, we have built our company around that feeling. We know people come here to relax, reconnect, and make the most of their time at the lake, so we have shaped our service around convenience, flexibility, and local knowledge. From our Crest Marine fleet to our direct delivery and pickup services, everything we do is meant to help guests enjoy the Finger Lakes in the easiest and most enjoyable way possible. Whether you are booking a rental for the week or adding a guided tour to your trip, we are here to help you make the most of your time on the water. We offer two ways to enjoy the water: pontoon boat rentals and guided boat tours. Our rentals are the foundation of what we do, giving guests the freedom to enjoy the Finger Lakes on their own schedule. Our guided tours are more of a hosted, hands-off experience on the water. Whether you are staying at a lake house for the week, planning a family outing, or organizing a celebration, we make it easy to enjoy the Finger Lakes from the water.

Rent a Boat

Boat rentals are at the heart of our business. We offer daily rentals on Keuka Lake and weekly pontoon rentals across Keuka, Canandaigua, Seneca, and Waneta Lake, with a fleet of 5 Crest Marine pontoons/tri-toons designed for relaxing, swimming, sightseeing, and spending time together. Our rental service is built for how people actually vacation in the Finger Lakes, especially those staying in waterfront homes and cottages who want the convenience of a boat right outside their door.

What makes our rental experience different is our delivery and pickup service. If you own a lake home or are renting a cottage, we can deliver the boat directly to your location and pick it up at the end of your rental, which removes the hassle of driving to a marina, coordinating transportation, or working your vacation around someone else’s schedule. Our rentals are convenient for a one-day lake outing or multi-day and weekly rentals to enhance your time spent boating, swimming, sightseeing, and cruising the beautiful waters.

Our fleet is ideal for the Finger Lakes lifestyle because it is comfortable, spacious, and easy to enjoy. These boats are perfect for family vacations, couples, friend groups, and guests who want a simple way to explore the shoreline, drop anchor for a swim, enjoy the views, and make the most of their time on the lake. Select boats are also pet-friendly, giving some guests the option to bring their dog along and enjoy a true family day on the water.

Guided Tours

In addition to rentals, we offer guided boat tours as an added service for guests who want the experience of being on the water without operating the boat themselves. Guided tours are ideal for visitors who want a more relaxed, hosted outing, whether that means a scenic cruise, a private celebration, or a custom group experience.

Private boat tours are a strong fit in the Finger Lakes market because charter cruises and captained outings are already positioned by regional tourism organizations as flexible, customizable experiences for gatherings, celebrations, and special occasions. Our guided tours build on that same appeal by creating a private, more personal way to enjoy the lake with your own group.

Guided Tours for Bachelorette Parties

A private guided boat tour is a perfect addition to a Finger Lakes bachelorette weekend. The region is already a popular destination for bachelor and bachelorette celebrations, and local party boat operators actively market private boat experiences as a fun, scenic alternative to crowded bars and traditional nightlife.

Our guided tours offer bridal groups a more relaxed, private setting to celebrate together. Instead of sharing space with strangers or planning around a public departure schedule, your group can enjoy the beauty of the lake, bring the energy you want, and make the experience part of the larger weekend itinerary. It is a great fit for brides who want beautiful views, great photos, music, drinks, and time together in a memorable, elevated setting.

Guided Tours for Families

Guided tours are also a great option for families who want to enjoy the lake together without the responsibility of driving the boat themselves. Family-oriented boat experiences are already part of the regional market, with operators promoting private tours and reunion outings to create shared memories in a scenic setting.

For families, a guided tour offers a simple and comfortable way to enjoy the Finger Lakes. Parents, grandparents, and kids can all relax, take in the views, enjoy time together, and experience the shoreline from the water without worrying about navigating, docking, or managing the day’s logistics. It is an especially strong choice for reunion weekends, multigenerational groups, and vacationers seeking something memorable yet easy to enjoy.

Guided Tours for Corporate Retreats

Corporate retreats and team outings are another strong fit for guided tours in the Finger Lakes. Regional tour operators actively promote private boat experiences for team building, client entertainment, and company gatherings, indicating clear demand for water-based group experiences in the business and retreat market.

A guided boat tour offers companies something different from the usual conference room or dinner reservation. It gives teams a private setting for conversation, connection, and shared experience, all within one of the region’s most scenic environments. Whether the goal is team bonding, entertaining clients, or adding something memorable to a retreat itinerary, a private boat outing creates an experience that feels both refreshing and elevated.

We welcome the whole family

We also know that for many guests, pets are part of the family too. That is why we offer select pet-friendly options so more families can enjoy their lake day together, while still keeping certain boats reserved for other guest preferences.

At the end of the day, our business is about making boating in the Finger Lakes feel easy, welcoming, and worth remembering. We are proud to be a local company serving some of New York’s most beautiful lakes, and we love helping our guests experience them in a way that feels relaxed, personal, and fun.
