Local & Family Inspired

TripleB is inspired by the Bellows family of three and our love for life on the Finger Lakes. While TripleB typically stands for Boats, Bottles & Beauty, we like to think the "B's" are whatever makes your day on Cayuga Lake memorable - whether that's breathtaking views, birthdays, best friends, or simply being together.

Every group is different and we’ll help tailor the day to match your vibe.
