Canandaigua Lady
http://www.steamboatlandingonline.com/
The Canandaigua Lady is a 19th century replica of a double-decker paddlewheel boat operating from Steamboat Landing. The "Lady" is a proud successor to locally famous steamboats that operated on the Finger Lakes between 1820 and 1930. The sixty-ton Mississippi-style paddlewheel presents a nostalgic decor accented with teak and oak woods, brass fixtures, draperies and carpeting that fondly recalls days of yesteryear. At one time, there were 19 steamboats that operated as the primary means of transportation, as there were no roads along the lake at the time.
Reservations preferred for guaranteed seating. Lunch and dinner cruises need to be booked 1-2 hours in advance. Walk ups welcome if space is available.
