Glow Cruise on Seneca Lake: Boozy Bingo Night with DJ Storm

On a warm summer evening on Seneca Lake, the Boozy Bingo - Glow Cruise transforms the water off Stivers Seneca Marine in Waterloo, NY, into a moving dance floor. This two-hour party cruise from Seneca Lake Reel Tours blends high-energy DJ sets, rounds of bingo with prizes, and neon-lit fun for adults 21 and over. Boarding begins at 5:45 PM with departure at 6:00 PM; expect sunset views as you glide along one of the Finger Lakes, a deep glacially carved lake edged by vineyard slopes and rocky bluffs.

The setup is simple and effective: a compact, accessible vessel rigged for music and lights, a DJ booth manned by DJ Storm, bingo boards, and a Tiki Bar on shore for pre-boarding snacks. Guests are encouraged to wear neon and LED accessories and arrive ready to play—cash and card are accepted for beverages, and you may bring your own food or pre-order to have waiting at the dock. The event’s 21+ limit keeps the vibe lively and adult-focused, with hosts running fast rounds of bingo between dance breaks and scenic passages.

What makes this cruise stand out in the Finger Lakes scene is its marriage of social nightlife and the region’s strong outdoor identity. Seneca Lake’s long, narrow profile and clear water give the glow elements a bold backdrop; lights reflect on the lake’s surface while the shoreline vineyards and bluffs slide by. The experience highlights the lake itself—a glacial feature carved into deep rock—and the area’s wine culture without requiring a car between stops: this is nightlife that floats.

Practical benefits matter: the boat is handicap accessible, the two-hour timeframe fits an evening itinerary before or after a tasting, and small-group bingo prizes add a playful competitive spark. You’ll likely hear local birds—herons and the occasional bald eagle—sweep the shoreline at dusk, and the captain may point out notable coves or marina lights as landmarks. Tickets often sell out for holidays and weekends, so reserve early and arrive ready to board at Stivers Seneca Marine—staff begin boarding 15 minutes before departure. The crew will give a brief safety orientation and life jackets are available on request; the short cruise is low-impact but can feel lively on open water, so anyone prone to motion sensitivity should prepare accordingly. Bring sunscreen.
