F.R. Smith Marina

Sagamore Road in Bolton Landing, a few minutes' walk from the Sagamore Hotel and the village's shops and restaurants. F.R. Smith and Sons has been running the same operation since 1921, which on Lake George counts as institutional memory. Three things happen here. Sales: new Sea Ray and Crest pontoons, used boats, Yamaha outboards. Rentals: a fleet for day use, plus captained cruises for guests who don't want to drive. Service: gas dock, winterization, spring commission. For visitors staying at a Bolton Landing rental without their own boat, the rental fleet is the easier and quieter way to get on Lake George than dealing with the launch traffic at the south end. Year-round for service work; rental season runs the warm months.
