There is free parking across the street and a nice souvenir shop as well.

Now looking back there were signs all over saying bad idea, starting at the terrible counter service. We called the day prior asking about renting a 10 passenger pontoon, lady said sure no problem we always keep a few extra on hand for walk ins. We did not want to reserve because we were unsure of the weather and rain. Forecast said no rain we decided to go out. We get there and the front desk says no 10 passenger we can either do a 13 for extra cost or 8 passenger deck boat. We discuss and decide the 13 passenger. At the desk now the woman says , in a span of less than five minutes the other counter girl allows some one with a reservation to change their reservation to the 13 passenger and rents that out to them. Okay so now we have no choice but to get the 8 passenger as grey clouds are rolling in. We ask the older front desk woman if it's okay to go out, have you checked the weather. Her response, no, you'll be fine no worries. Gives us a map thoroughly explains where to go, where we can anchor etc. We get told to go wait out on the deck and someone will help us. The waters choppy and boats swaying. A young maybe 16 year old girl gives us a quick lesson on how to turn on the boat, steering, reverse and where the life jackets are. First attempt to throttle the boat wouldn't move, made several attempts and the girl giggled and pushed us out. Now we are out, in this boat choppy water. 2-3 foot chop if not more. It was like the little engine that could struggling just to maintain direction. It was almost impossible to steer and would not go more than 5 knots full throttle. Less than a half hour out and us just struggling, the boat began filling with water. We pulled open the base cabin that contained the life jackets and it too was also flooded. BY PURE LUCK we screamed over to 2 coast guard friends on a jet ski. She hopped on our boat, and put 2 other people on the jet ski. Literally taxied people to the dock and came back for more to lighten the load on the boat. She attempted to turn on what ever pump is underneath a boat to help push out water and it did not work. Now with the wind whipping and waves crashing on this boat that can hardly run, she drove it back maybe another 200 Yards to the dock as it swung wildly in the water. The the dock children laughed as she attempted to pull it up (literally kids running the dock). One of the workers opened a compartment by the engine and just shook his head. They asked if we wanted another boat. Is that a joke. It was like a movie scene from the end of jaws where it's just floating items all over in the bottom of the boat. I had an adrenaline rush/panic attack, can't even describe it, that I would never want to experience again. My Coastie friend watched as they pulled the boat out. She said they never put the plugs back on the boat so essentially from the time we got on the boat, we were sitting ducks, sinking, she said maybe a half hour left before the boat sank. They at first attempted to tell us well you were at max capacity that doesn't mean anything, you put us on that boat and said it was okay and safe to go out. It was by no means safe, the life jackets were from the 90's literally. When they pulled the boat out of the water and it drained for over 25 minutes. They refunded our money as they continued to put other people out on the water. During our struggle to come in we saw a pontoon boat almost flip from a wave, irony the people that got the 13 passenger. We filed a police report. There has to be some kind of standard. This is not it. What I learned later, from one of my friends a reporter from Albany was that people consistently die on Lake George from boating accidents. That could have been us. First time in Lake George, I had this fancy idea to relax on the water. Worlds dumbest idea as well a paper map... on a wet boat. Smh.

We all packed our own drinks and completely forgot the most important part; the cups and ice. But no worries! Our guide had the boat fully equipped with ice cubes and cups and we were all able to enjoy a nice, fun and relaxing ride in the lake. We got full control of the bluetooth speakers and had a nice time meeting the other patrons and sharing music with each other. Overall, this was very comfortable and enjoyable for all of us. Additional notes: The bathroom was also very clean. The young man driving the boat gave us a nice, smooth ride despite slight choppiness in the water. There is ample shade on most of the boat with a nice sit-down area to enjoy the sun as well. Thank you!

We also enjoyed a few cocktails from the bar. The cruise is dog friendly too, that was important for us, because our mini-poodle wanted to go.

We'd recommend this shoreline cruise to any First Timers to Lake George. But basically, it's the kind of activity you do once, One & Done.

What a disappointing experience to start off 2024!…read more Overpriced and underdelivered! Terrible value for the cost. The food was poor and ran out early on. The first deck was overcrowded making exit in case of an emergency nearly impossible and producing a disaster. The first deck was very cold despite being advertised as heated. Only the crowd did anything to warm up the room. The price of $50 per person was overly expensive and we were unaware, until boarding, that it included food and entertainment at the restaurant on land. We were not interested and would have preferred a two-tier price structure. Also, the window flaps were filthy and we could barfely see outside. I will not book with you again.

We went out on the Adirondack and the boat was large enough for all the patrons on board but by far it seemed that the best seats on board were on the upper level. The lower levels were challenging to see the fireworks because most of the windows didn't open and the best option for seeing was to go outside to the staircase. Even there the roof overhead made for difficult viewing. There are other options in the area for viewing fireworks by boat and we would most likely try a different boat- either with this company or another in the same area. All of the staff were friendly and made getting on and off rather easy.

A Great Family Bucket List Event!…read moreWouldn't have thought of doing this, but any visit to southern end of Lake George makes the parasails hard to miss. Figured, why not; glad we did) SCHEDULING: 4 We visited Lake George on Tuesday & decided to parasail on Wednesday. Drove back (an hour) to see nobody PS'ing on the lake. "Closed". Cued to go online to book, which in turn 'call to schedule'. Done. CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5 Kiosks process was smooth with obligatory liability waiver, suiting up with life jacket and harness. Crew was friendly while efficient getting us situated on boat - with a final point that there is a very small possibility "you'll get wet"....so plan accordingly. Adding, "We have waterproof phone sleeves with lanyards should you wish to take those up with you for pics." (Note: competitor company advises that use of one's personal electronics is a safety hazard and banned from use on their boats - they offered a $30 photo service shot from the boat) The RIDE: Customers wait their turn to go up, turns out party of three will always to slotted to go up together to save time (max weight 500lbs). Solo flights could only happen if one is over 200 lbs. Tandems are fun with parent and kid combos. You're harnessed onto the parasail and are supporting rope is winched out hundreds of feet, pulled by along by boat. Higher than I expected. Duration is approximately 10 minutes which I didn't time - but seemed plenty enough. Crew offered a water touchdown which amounts to be let down into the lake for a momentary wetting.....and lifted back up before final boat landing. (We asked for feet only which was plenty wet for our purposes) NEXT TIME: My kids & I would definitely use Joe's service again on our next trip up to Lake George- Best value of the two vendor (personal photo op from height). What would I do different? Take wide angle selfie video of flight & ask for a deeper water touchdown mid flight. *BONUS: - Now for a 10 year old's perspective... Parasail joes was awesome. It was thrilling ,scary ,fun all that stuff .It was pretty cool and it was my first time parasailing and it was pretty cool there might be a better place so I can't completely say five star but it's good for a first time and I might change my opinion later sooooooo yeah.
