“Peaceful Perfection” 5 of 5 starsReviewed July 11, 2015 NEW Ok. Been on a few of these dinner cruises around the country. Scenery is usually good and the food mediocre at best. This trip was the EXCEPTION! We did the intimate dining cruise and had an absolutely superior experience. The boat was in pristine condition; paint fresh, windows sparkling, heads (restrooms) spotless. The we get to the food. Perfect in every respect. Now to the staff. Extremely accommodating, highly knowledgeable, and very efficient. Owned and operated by the Pohl family for 25 yrs., they have it figured out!!!! We’ll be back. Try it!!

Cruises in the Adirondacks Although upstate New York’s Adirondacks are first and foremost a mountain range, they’re also synonymous with the recreational activities available on its hundreds of lakes, rivers and creeks. Maybe you’re not the most adventurous outdoorsman; or perhaps you just want someone to treat you to an excursion on an Adirondack lake….
