We Are Adding a New Boat to Our Fleet!

All of us at Lake Geneva Cruise Line are excited to announce that we are adding a new boat to our classic fleet! Launching this summer, this new boat, name to be determined, will be used for private charters and on an all-new Shoreline Architectural Tour.  

NEW BOAT DETAILS

  • Capacity: 125+ Passengers
  • Dining Capacity: 60+ Passengers
  • Width: 19 feet
  • Length: 65 feet
  • Three levels: First & second for passengers, top deck for pilot house
  • Enclosed passenger decks
  • Open-air bow on the upper deck with partial hard canopy

“We are looking to create a new experience, different from the rest of the fleet,” said Bill Gage, Jr., third-generation owner of Gage Marine Corporation and Lake Geneva Cruise Line. “This new boat will have a warmer atmosphere, Art Deco accents, nickel and chrome fittings and fixtures instead of traditional brass. Every element of the design is intentional to enhance the customer experience.” 

NAMING CONTEST DETAILS

But adding a new boat to an over 150-year-old fleet isn’t the only exciting news. What’s a brand-new boat without a brand-new name? Lake Geneva Cruise Line is asking customers and community members to help them name this new boat!

Submit your name ideas through May 15, 2026, via the form below to be entered into the contest.

SUBMIT YOUR NAME

Names will be reviewed by a Gage Marine Corporation committee consisting of employees of various business divisions.  

Enter now because those who submit the first 75 entries will be invited, along with a guest, to the boat launch event for the maiden voyage this summer!

The winner, the person whose name is chosen for the new boat, and their guest will also receive an invitation to the launch party, and they will be the one to christen the new boat by breaking the bottle of champagne over the bow! But that’s not all. They will also receive a $250 PIER 290 restaurant gift card, a complimentary Lake Life Season Pass for Lake Geneva Cruise Line, and a Gage gift basket from the Lake Life Store. 

Name submissions will be collected online only through May 15, 2026. The name will be selected and the winner announced on May 29, 2026. The launching celebration date will be announced later this year.
