I first grew interested in the Mid-Lakes Navigation charters when I caught canallers exploring the Erie Canal in their Lockmaster Canalboats during walks through Pittsford and Fairport.
So when my family, Tanya, Neal and I set out, I’d been looking forward to this family cruise for quite some time ahead of our trip.
 Here are 10 top reasons I’d highly recommend Mid-lakes Navigation’s self-skippered charters to anybody out to explore the Erie Canal:
1. Staff offer information and service without pressure to buy.
2. Leaders go extra miles to ensure you enjoy the adventure.
3. Boats are impeccable and professionally cleaned - stern to bow.
4. Orientation is friendly, and packed with all-you-need information.
5. No mechanical problems arise – but numbers are given in case.
6. Owners appear always prepared to improve their fine service.
7. Everything you need for the trip is already stored onboard.
8. Leaders at every port hold highest esteem for boat owners.
9. Suggestions are offered to help you get most from your money.
10. Owners deeply respect their clients and also esteem the canal.
It’s not cheap to charter a boat with Mid-lakes Navigation, but it’s worth every dollar you’ll spend. Our boat, the Canadice, allowed us to navigate the expansive waterways at our own leisurely pace. The locks add adventure, canal villages provide perfect places to tie up at night, while each King Fisher, and Great Blue Heron, stands sentient-like as your canalboat passes its watch.
Thanks Mid-Lakes Navigation! You’ve earned the royal reputation you won!
