Leo's Pontoon Boat

12/13/2024

Finger Lakes Pontoon Boat Rides (me 😊) would like to thank all the wonderful folks who cruised with me on beautiful Seneca Lake during the 2024 season. We hosted a record 112 groups and more than 500 passengers from 20 states, 5 foreign countries and 70-plus area codes. All on my little old pontoon! The Grapevine is stored away until she splashes down the ramp once more in May 2025. Check leospontoonboat.com soon for a new schedule and, upon request, a gift certificate option. Give the gift of a good time! Have a blessed holiday season and think summer.
Captain Leo 🌴🎄❄️☀️

The Saunders Finger Lakes Museum: Each time I drive by the construction site at the Saunders Finger Lakes Museum in Branchport, NY—I get more and more excited about what this will look like and offer to visitors. Top image I captured there today near Keuka Lake, bottom image is a rendering of what the finished product will look like. This will become a destination spot for folks across the region, as well as the countless tourists who visit the Finger Lakes. I’ll be doing more on this as progress continues. You can learn additional information here at www.fingerlakesmuseum.org

When our family counts its blessings, we count to 100. Our mom, Amelita Roth, celebrated a century of living this past weekend surrounded by loved ones, including most of her 18 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
Thank you to the Town of Amherst for presenting a proclamation and for the many thoughtful gifts, flowers, cards and phone calls from our cousins, neighbors and friends. Abe Lincoln said, “It’s not the years in the life, it’s the life in the years.”
With boundless energy, strength, unconditional love, laughter, family and faith, Amelita has packed a lot of life in her years. “This is the best 100th birthday I ever had,” she smiled. Her advice is simple: all things in moderation, enjoy today and don’t worry so much.
Happy 100th birthday mom! 💯❤️🎂

Cruised through the most incredible 5-day stretch of weather in memory: sunshine, 80 degrees and barely any wind! Hosted groups from NJ, Ohio, Utica, Elmira and my cousin Dave and wife Cheryl from Buffalo.
Thanks everyone! We run through mid-October and the leaves are changing. Go to leospontoonboat.com🍁☀️🥂

Best thing about my boat tours is meeting wonderful folks from around this great country. Only thing better is hosting family and friends. Here’s my beautiful sister Judy and her terrific lifelong friends from the Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart❤️! Leospontoonboat.com

Was honored and thrilled to take a ride aboard the legendary True Love with fellow captain Terry Stewart. Man and boat exceed expectations. True Love is truly a unique experience and such a part of the happy fabric of Watkins Glen.
