Set Sail in Style: Explore Lake George by Cruise
Lake George Waterfront Cruises features a fleet of luxury vessels offering public cruises, private charters, and themed excursions that perfectly capture the spirit of the Adirondacks. Guests can choose from laid-back sightseeing tours to lively sunset dinner cruises, fireworks cruises, and more.
Cruises depart on two iconic ships:
- The Adirondac: A 115-foot luxury ship modeled after late 19th-century touring vessels. It features air conditioning, heating, and two full-service bars. It’s handicap accessible and boasts computer-controlled engines that minimize noise and vibration, offering the quietest luxury cruise on the lake.
- The Horicon: An 85-foot, double-deck mahogany and teak yacht with enclosed decks and panoramic views. It offers a cozy and classic charm great for smaller groups or romantic evenings.
Bonus: All cruises are dog-friendly, making it easy to bring your furry family members along for the ride!
Here are a few reviews from those who have set sail with Lake George Waterfront Cruises:

Savor Flavors With a View at the Lighthouse Grill
Just steps from the dock, the Lighthouse Grill offers a newly renovated lakeside dining experience that has quickly become a Lake George favorite. Reopened under new branding in 2023, the restaurant features a diverse menu of seafood, American classics, and thoughtful plant-based options.
Guests rave about:
- Truffle fries, chicken stir fry, and seared tuna
- Craft cocktails and creative drink specials
- Indoor and outdoor seating with open-air design and lake views
Open seasonally beginning in April, the Lighthouse Grill continues to evolve based on customer feedback: “One of the changes we’ve made based on feedback is expanding our vegan options,” said Andreacchio. “People really appreciate having thoughtful, plant-based choices on the menu, and we’re proud to offer that.”
Here’s what those who have dined at the Lighthouse Grill had to say:
“The cocktails were fantastic, crafted to perfection with a great variety to choose from.”
“Delicious food and views. We sat at the outdoor covered patio and had a great time seeing the steamboats come into the port.”
“Amazing food, and the server was so kind. The view of the lake was beautiful.”
Elevate Your Summer: Parasailing Adventures
