SANTA CRUISE TESTIMONIALS
-
Yes! Both of the boats we use for our Santa Cruise are enclosed and heated! We want to make sure it is an enjoyable experience for everyone!
-
All Santa Cruises depart from Pier 290/Gage Marine in Williams Bay, Wisconsin at 1 Liechty Drive.
-
There are no refreshments on the boat, but there is a cash bar featuring soft drinks, snacks, and adult beverages available in the boat house before the cruise.
-
Private lakeshore homes are not decorated for the holidays – most homes are summer residences. All lighted displays are provided by Gage Marine and Lake Geneva Cruise Line.
-
Santa greets children and reads names from his hideaway on the lakeshore but does not come aboard the boat.
-
Santa Cause is a super charity that benefits, supports, and helps local Walworth County charities through interactive fundraising and community-based events. The Christmas Tree Festival, in partnership with Gage Marine, is their most successful event every year, helping them to raise more than half-a-million dollars over the last five years for charity. Gage Marine is supporting the Santa Cause this year with a donation of at least $25,000.
