I love boating and being on the water. My favorite part of the day is when I leave shore and head out on the lake. I rent pontoon boats and kayaks so that others can experience the lakes here in Highlands County, more specifically: Lake June, Lake Placid, Lake Huntley, Lake Clay, Lake Istokpoga, Lake Jackson, Lake Lotela and Lake Letta. If you rent a place on the water here in Highlands county, I will rent you a boat for your stay. Coming to Lake Placid? call me for all your boat rental needs!!!

Personal watercraft (PWC), also known as Jet Skis, are an exciting and fun way to spend the day.  Our adventure tours are a short drive away from Lake Placid and take you up and down the Saranac Chain of Lakes.  We offer half day adventure tours which explore Lower and Middle Saranac and full day tours which add several more Lakes and Ponds along the Saranac Lake system. Tours include lunch.

Wilderness beauty. Adirondack history. Serenity. Cruise the pristine waters of Lake Placid in one of our enclosed pontoon boats.
