Even though the boat does not sail out onto a Lake Erie as far as one would expect, $28 for a cruise at sunset especially is definitely worth it. The views of the Buffalo skyline, the lit up silo and the Naval Park, are spectacular from the water. Next year, I'm considering buying a season pass. This way I can enjoy the sailing anytime I want. as much as I want during the sailing season. Cocktails are reasonably priced on board. You're allowed to bring your own food and snacks from home. The music to accompany the tour was a little loud at first, but then turn down which was appreciated. The captain and his crew were friendly and gave good advice on before the sail began. The ramp from the dock makes it easy for those with disabilities to board and exit the ship. There are two bathrooms below deck. But they do require some stairs to go down.

Medina Falls is visible from the Erie Canal Heritage Trail. The address provided in this listing…read morebrings you to a small gravel parking area to enter the trail. If you turn right, Medina Falls is just a short way down on the right, you'll hear it right away. From this vantage point, you're viewing the falls from above, from a bit of a distance. We could see many kayakers in the Old Orchard Creek itself near the falls. So there are definitely other access points to get closer to the falls, but it is still a very nice view from here. Plus you're on the Erie Canal Heritage Trail, so you can continue to stroll along the canalside for as long as you'd like. One very unique thing about seeing Medina Falls and the canal from this very spot is that Old Orchard Creek and the Erie Canal intersect near the top of the falls, but the waters do NOT actually touch each other. SUCH WONDERFULLY WEIRD ENGINEERING!! :-D What I mean is the Erie Canal itself passes over the creek. The creek flows underneath the cement canal basin to the falls, but the waterways do not actually flow together. You can stand at the point over top both, and marvel at this curious feat. You've just got to see it; it really must be a unique feature that is not typical in many other places, I would imagine. If you're looking for a nature activity with some strolling, some history, and a waterfall feature, starting here at Medina Falls would make for a fun adventure, for sure. :-D

Turns out that wasn't correct at all. Findley Lake Marine was able to fix exactly what was wrong and no new parts were needed.

One of the staff explained in detail the situation I was in and how they were able to fix it. The boat runs better now than it ever has and almost feels like a brand new boat!

Zero stars if I could. Never even boarded the boat and they're still hounding us for feedback…read more We booked a sailing out of Rochester that was cancelled due to inclement weather. We never set foot on the boat. Fine -- weather happens. What's not fine is the endless stream of feedback requests, surveys, and "how was your experience?" emails that keep coming after the fact. It's like their system has no idea the trip never happened and just keeps spamming people who got cancelled on. Basic competence would be to stop the automated feedback blasts for cancelled or no-show trips. Instead we're getting treated like we actually sailed. It's lazy, tone-deaf, and just plain stupid. If you can't even turn off the survey emails for people who never boarded, that says a lot about how the rest of the operation runs. Do better.
