Can someone rent a boat with sleeping and cooking accommodations for exploring the Canal System?

 There are several “self - skipper” boating companies that operate on the Canal. Boaters should check the official Website of the New York State Canal Corporation (see the link below), or call 1 - 800 - 4CANAL4 for a current list of operators.
