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!

Departing from Downtown Albany on Broadway, Dutch Apple Cruises features beautiful boat tours right here in the Capital Region.
