Bring sunscreen and shade gear
Partial Bimini tops offer some sun protection, but packing sunscreen and hats will help keep you comfortable during long hours on the lake.
Check weather forecasts before departure
Cayuga Lake Boat Rentals may cancel trips for severe weather, so staying informed helps you plan safe outings and reschedules if needed.
