The Riverboat Cruise In New York You Never Knew Existed

One of the best parts about having summer finally arrive, is that so many of our favorite attractions open back up for the season. Last summer you may remember us telling you about the amazing boat rides that the Mohawk Maiden offers up in the town of Schuylerville. So if you’ve already crossed that off of your bucket list, we have yet another incredible way for you to enjoy scenic views of the Empire State from out on the water!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Some other information that might be useful? The Dutch Apple Cruises has a free parking lot for you to use their location so you won't have to worry about finding a spot to park downtown. Guests riding along one of their usual Sightseeing Cruises should also note that for these rides you'll want to bring a pair of binoculars if you have them, an item that's handy to have when you're keeping an eye out for eagle sightings! And last but not least, you'll be glad to hear that for most of the boat tours offered here they provide a snack bar.
