At Captain’s Cove your stay comes with more than just a room—boat rentals, bait shop, and everything you need right here on Oak Orchard Creek.
Stay. Fish. Unwind.
Your Laid-Back Launch Point to the Outdoors
For over 40 years, Captain’s Cove has been a hidden gem on Oak Orchard Creek—just minutes from Lake Ontario. What started as a simple fishing spot has grown into a relaxed creekside retreat where families, anglers, and outdoor lovers find everything they need. We’ve raised the marina, rebuilt after floods, and added fresh touches throughout—like clean, affordable rooms, a stocked bait and tackle shop, RV parking, dock slips, and boat rentals.
Whether you’re up for derby season, out with friends, or just want to rent a boat and get lost on the water, we’ve got you covered. Around here, it’s all about good people, good fishing, and time well spent outdoors.

Hooked on the Experience
“My husband and myself come out every year in August. The staff is great, the rooms are cozy, and we always look forward to the stay!”
— Jenn Alam
“We had a great time with the family! The staff was very helpful, and so was the owner, who even hosted the fire pit. They made sure the whole family was comfortable—made sure we had enough firewood, and even gave us s’mores for the children.
The rooms were clean and spacious, with stoves and even a place to order pizza from, which was super helpful. Wi-Fi and TV streaming were available, and the shop had everything you need for fishing. The housekeeper made sure we had fresh towels.
There was such a great vibe while we were there—beautiful views, and the rooms come with kayaks, which made it even better! We will be back again soon.”
— Armando Velasquez
“Drove to the oak under the impression the park was open to launch my boat, arrived to find it closed. Stopped here and they were closed. Called the number on store front and they came down and opened boat ramp for me to launch. Above and beyond customer service.”
