The Colonial Belle has offered Erie Canal tour boat cruises from Fairport since 1989, sailing mid-May through October from Packetts Landing in the heart of the village, just twenty minutes from Rochester. Scenic lunch, dinner, brunch and sightseeing cruises share the schedule with narrated lock tours, themed and event sailings, and private charters, often with live music on board. Gliding past Fairport's lift bridge and canal-town scenery, it is a one-of-a-kind way to see the waterway.
