Every time we come to Watkins Glen taking a sail on the True Love is a must do. We had a great time on our afternoon sail yesterday. The weather and wind were perfect. Boat is amazing. Crew is extremely friendly and informative- they make you feel right at home. Great music on board. Complimentary soda and water with the... More

The weather was perfect with brilliant sunshine and a surprising amount of wind so we were in great shape for a nice sail. We ran up and bought tickets 20 minutes before sailing and were lucky to get 5 of the last 7 seats. (So it's possible, though I wouldn't recommend it if your agenda is tight) The crew were... More

We had a wonderful day on our 2 hour sail. The crew was wonderful and informative. We sailed with friends who needed to be seated in an area of the boat with more leg room, and even though the boat was filled; the staff made sure they were seated as promised. Will definitely sail with them again.

The wind wasn't so cooperative during the morning sail, but the hospitality and friendliness of the crew were outstanding. The captain and two crew were knowledgeable and easy with their guests. Even though they do up to 4 cruises a day, they didn't act like it was work - their hospitality made it a memorable trip. I have been on... More

We took our Schooner ride on our last night of vacation. It was fantastic. We were treated so nicely by the crew. The hor dourves and wine were very tasteful. The scenery was beautiful. We will definitely visit again when we return.

Our daughter gave us a morning sail on the True Love when we were camping in the area. Having never sailed before, it was an exciting experience. Since both of us are teachers, we will be able to share this with our students this fall. Captain Larry and crew were knowledgeable and willing to share lots of stories! We are... More

Being local to the area we spend a lot of time at the lake but decided on the spur of the moment to take an excursion on the schooner True Love with our three kids. We had never gone before and wow,what a blast, it was a perfect day and we all had so much fun. Great music, good wine... More

I live in the finger lakes but never took the opportunity to ride the True Love Schooner until this morning. WOW! The captain and crew (shout out to Chris and Destiny) were absolutely wonderful and provided A+ service throughout the entire trip. We are already looking forward to our next trip with them!

Having the opportunity to spend the summer in the Finger Lakes area, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunities on the lakes. The "True Love" Schooner excursion was a definite highlight of my trip. Could not have asked for better weather or a better crew. Thanks Katie and Chris. You made the day very enjoyable!
