Welcome Aboard!
New York State is waiting to provide you with a variety of exciting boating activities from old, well maintained historic vessels to sleek, modern, state-of-the-art dinner yachts..and everything in between.

Whether your interest is oceans, rivers, lakes, canals, bays or even waterfalls, New York State has it. With over 3,000 miles of shore front, we've got lots of it!

The New York State Tour Boat Association was formed in 1984 to promote the passenger vessel industry and to introduce travelers and vacationers to the magnificent, waterways of New York State.

Imagine enjoying a relaxing ride on an official U.S. Mail boat, or on the country's largest excursion vessel, or a real steamboat? Does a multi-day lazy canal cruise sound like just the ticket, or are you the type who'd enjoy the crashing, thundering beauty of Niagara Falls up close?

Have you ever cruised to our national border with Canada through the Thousand Islands and Lake Ontario or the Niagara River and Lake Erie? Perhaps you'd prefer the majestic view from New York harbor, or riding a ferry on Long Island's Great South Bay? Wouldn't you like to visit a village only accessible by boat, or enjoy the scenery of the Finger Lakes and other landlocked lakes, or experience being raised through the locks on the Erie Canal? Can you envision yourself cruising the Hudson trying to get past the great chain at West Point?

No matter what type of vessel or what type of cruise you enjoy, New York State has it all. Cruise with one of the New York State Tour Boat Association's members and see why you'll say....

"I Love New York."
