Set sail with Waterfront Cruises, a yacht venue hosting weddings on one of two boats in the Lake George, New York area. Couples looking for a waterfront wedding can't get much closer to the water than aboard one of these ships, which have space for ceremonies and dining alike. These venues set sail from the southern shores of Lake George, conveniently located right off of I-87.

Previously, Shoreline Cruises was now Waterfront Cruises with new ownership! The business was bought by the previous Director of Sales and Marketing, Katie Carson.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can choose to celebrate their special day on one of two boats, which can hold as many as 400 guests. The Horicon, Waterfront Cruises' wooden yacht, stretching an impressive 85 feet long, shines with two glass-enclosed decks. The larger boat, the Adirondac, is a 115 luxury cruise ship trimmed with mahogany and cedar along all three decks and modeled after late 19th-century touring ships. For couples seeking a waterfront venue but not quite sure of their sea legs, the Restaurant's private deck hosts smaller and more intimate affairs.

Rehearsal-Welcome Party for 100

We recently hosted our rehearsal dinner/ welcome party on the Adirondac for about 100 guests during the 4th of July weekend, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, everything was handled seamlessly, creating an unforgettable night for us and our guests.
The views from the water were absolutely breathtaking. Cruising through the Lake George narrows and catching the sunset created the perfect backdrop for the evening. Even with the full guest list, the yacht ride was incredibly smooth, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy without worry. The Captain positioned us so we could all enjoy the fireworks from the Village.
Although we brought centerpieces and a full dessert table, the yacht was beautifully decorated, with elegant touches that made the space feel festive yet sophisticated. The ambiance was just right for a celebration, with plenty of room to mingle, dance, and 3 decks to take in the sights.
Having two fully stocked bars made a big difference — no long lines and plenty of drink options to please everyone. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, making sure every guest was taken care of.
The food exceeded our expectations! Each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and served buffet style— impressive considering the unique setting and the size of our party. From appetizers to dessert, everything was a hit with our guests.
One of the highlights of the planning process was working with the yacht’s event coordinator, Clara. She was incredibly flexible, responsive, and eager to adapt to our needs and last-minute requests. She helped set up last minute arrangements and orchestrated the entire evening. Clara's support made planning a large event feel much less stressful and let me enjoy the evening with our guests
If you’re looking for a unique, elegant, and memorable venue for a large event like a rehearsal dinner or even the wedding, I can’t recommend this yacht experience enough on the Adirondac. The combination of great views, excellent service, good food, and a helpful coordinator made it the perfect choice for us. Would absolutely do it again!

Beautiful cruise and excellent buffet!

We cruised for almost 80 people on the Adirondac for a wedding rehearsal. From our first email contact, the staff was accommodating and very easy to work with.
We thought the buffet was excellent, as did our guests. It was perfectly presented, there was plenty for everyone. We would love to cruise with them again if the right occasion presented itself!

our wedding day could not have been more perfect. The entire staff was amazing. They were so flexible, kind and happy. They made every guest feel welcomed. I heard so many times about how beautiful the boat was, how nice the bartenders were, and how the food not only was fantastic but always available. The entire experience from my first email to you, to cleaning off the boat after the wedding was great.
Thank you and the staff for making our day so enjoyable and fun.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

How better to enjoy Lake George for your event than to actually get out and explore the lake? You will experience breathtaking views, adventure, and if the weather and timing are right you may even get a beautiful sunset, moonrise, and a chance to gaze at the stars. The boats are spacious, well laid out, and offer a calm steady ride. The open air decks are a great way to take in the beauty of the surroundings too! The first time we shot a wedding on one of these cruises we were concerned about stability and having enough space, but these things are not an issue with Lake George Shoreline Cruises. If you are getting married on Lake George, why not have your event ON Lake George?!

Nothing beats sailing beautiful Lake George with scenic views everywhere you look for that picture-perfect wedding that is 100% unique!! The Adirondack is an amazing boat for that one-of-a-kind wedding that is so different to a typical ballroom wedding your guests have been too many times before. The captain and all the staff are wonderful to work with. The food is excellent. You will feel like you're in a different world!!
