Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
Is the boat handicap accessible?

Are pets allowed on board?
Yes — pets are allowed as long as they are well trained.
Is the boat covered from the weather?
The boat is half covered with a Bimini top; half the boat is exposed to the sun.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Cayuga Lake Boat Rentals will decide if the weather is too severe to be on the water; if they cancel, they will try to reschedule you or issue a gift card for a future date. They do not cancel for passing rain storms, cool temperatures or overcast skies.
If I cancel, do I get a refund?
If you, the customer, cancel at any time for any reason, there will be no refund unless the boat is reserved by someone else for that date and time.

Yes — orange Type II life jackets are provided; if you prefer your own, bring it. Life jackets are always required for passengers under the age of 12.
Is there a bathroom on board?
No — these boats do not have bathrooms; bathrooms are available at the pick-up location or across the lake at Long Point State Park.
Is smoking allowed on board?
Smoking is allowed, but you will be charged for any cigarette burns that occur.
Can I leave the boat tied to a dock overnight?
That is dependent on weather conditions.
