Enjoy a sail on the schooner from the 1956 movie "High Society" (with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Dean Martin). Knowledgeable crew and great view on the lake. Served a snack and beverage on the way. Start your day with this adventure and you will still have time to enjoy Watkins Glen. More

With my 10 year old grandson off from school on Monday for Columbus Day, I took him to lovely Seneca Lake, and we went for a cruise on the Malabar. Captain Larry and Mate Lisa (owner) passed around drinks as we motored away from Watkins Glen pier. Beautiful sunny day with temperature about 75, unfortunately with very little wind (3-5... More

When planning our vacation in the Finger Lake area of NY, my spouse found information about this sailing experience offered on Lake Seneca. He contacted the owners of the company, Lisa & Josh, to inquire about it and they were so enthusiastic about their sailing schooner (True Love), we decided that we had to try it. We were SO glad...

The staff, especially Lisa, were very helpful and friendly. The sailboat is beautiful. However, the captain made no effort to really sail the ship to any great degree. We meandered, "a little faster than you can walk", up a short way and then around in circles. We could see the dock at all times and were really not out for... More

Recently to my visit to Watkins Glen NY we were delighted to enjoy an evening sail on the Schooner "True Love". The Captain and crew were phenominal, the hospitality shown was delightful. Not only did we enjoy an evening sailing in the lake with incredible views of the area but were also served a wonderful array of appetizers included with... More

My boyfriend and I went on a sunset cruise on the True Love in early August, and we had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful night for a sail, and we enjoyed chatting with other couples on the boat. The captain and crew couldn't have been nicer. I would highly recommend this attraction if you are visiting the Finger... More

We took a morning trip and the weather was perfect. The crew was so friendly. It was one of the most relaxing activities we did in the Finger Lakes and we highly recommend it. More

They made the time on the schooner not only relaxing and enjoyable but also informative. Everyone had a great time and the crew were enthusiastic and enjoyed their jobs. Had a disbled person with us and that was not an issue at all. More

Read many good things about this sailing cruise so my wife and I thought we'd give it a whirl. We attended the afternoon cruise on August 4th and unfortunately did not have the wind in our favour. Most of the cruise was by motor ... what made the trip interesting was the narrative provided by our captain and first hand,... More

My wife and I travel to Watkins Glen every August for the NASCAR race. We have seen the "True Love" for several years, but haven't had the time to go for a sail. What a great way to spend a couple of hours on Senca Lake. The wind was perfect and the crew took very good care of us. We... More
