Editor’s Note: This is part of an ongoing series that features things to do in Upstate New York while we still experience the Covid-19 pandemic. Before venturing out, please take proper precautions and check for availability and any changed business hours of marinas and boat launch sites. Safe travels!
This year’s Upstate New York recreational boating scene, which traditionally kicks off Memorial Day weekend, will see a host of first-timers on the state’s waters.
The reason? Boat sales skyrocketed last year across the state and the country during the pandemic and the trend is expected to continue into 2021, according a boat manufacturers group. Many families, unable to take vacations, decided to purchase boats instead as a way to get outdoors, officials said.
