CLEVELAND — For the past 30 years, the Nautica Queen has been a Cleveland summer staple. Now, the water is getting a new ship known as the Lady Caroline.
Lady Caroline, a 120-foot-long, 15,000-square-foot luxury ship, will soon set sail as Northeast Ohio's premier dining cruise with stunning views of the Cuyahoga River and Lake Erie.
The boat is expected to bring new energy to Cleveland and an elevated boating experience to residents and visitors.
Lady Caroline will offer a variety of regular lunch, brunch, dinner, holiday and special event cruises to enjoy with fellow passengers. It will also be available for privately chartered corporate, group or wedding voyages.
The boat will also feature multiple bars with signature drinks such as the "Sweet Caroline" and "Yacht Chiller."

So what will become of the Nautica Queen, a staple of the area since 1992?
"We’ve invested significant resources, time and energy into Nautica Queen over the years, but before she became part of our family in 1992 she was embraced by other communities in Ohio and Michigan,” says Jacobs Entertainment Inc. Executive Vice President Patrick J. McKinley. “As for the 42-year-old ship’s next chapter, there definitely could still be new waters for her to explore."
