My husband and I spent a great day on the lake with Captain Rick on Columbus Day. He talked to us about our wine preferences and suggested wineries and where to eat lunch. We had time to chat about the area and to enjoy the lovely cruise on the lake while enroute. His choices were great. This is the first...

We took the Sunday afternoon tour with Captain Rick. As it happened, we were his only passengers for the day, but he made the day fun. I am a nervous boater, but Rick was attentive to make sure I felt safe getting off and on the boat.
Rick is very knowledgeable about the wineries, the lake, and the local area....

The six of us met Captain Rick (and First Mate Tony) at the Lansing, NY marina, boarded his immaculate and comfortable late model speed boat and traveled the lake for six hours, all for a very reasonable cost. We visited four wineries, swam in the middle of the lake, brought our own packed lunch and beverages, and had a great...
