It seems that we as Clevelanders take advantage of the wonderful waterways that surround our hometown. Our waterways create natural beaches, opportunities for epic exploration, and even just spectacular waterfront views of the urban jungle that is Cleveland. The latter perk is one that we, as area natives, enjoy far too infrequently. However, one local cruise is offering unparalleled opportunity to appreciate coastal Cleveland from the glimmering waterways. In this impressive ship, you will enjoy a comfortable ride atop waters aglow with reflections of city life.
All aboard the Goodtime III, an impressive ship docked at 825 East Ninth Street Pier.

The Goodtime III provides unbeatable views of the Cleveland cityscape.
