Raquette Lake Navigation Co.

Dining, Sightseeing & Special Events Cruises

THANK YOU!

We thank you and our staff over the years for enabling us to reach and commence our 32nd season cruising and dining on Raquette Lake.

“…around half of all businesses no longer exist after five years. Only one-third make it past their 10th anniversary. These statistics have been remarkably consistent through the years. Interestingly, major economic downturns don’t seem to affect the survival rates for new businesses.

…survival rates begin to flatten out after several years of operation. The longer a business lasts, the more likely it is to last even longer.”  USA Today 5/21/17

We’re aware of the statistics.  We are grateful we are not in the group of failures.  We are optimistic about the future continued success of Raquette Lake Navigation.  Rest assured.  We know who our partners are and we know we wouldn’t be here today without the support and loyalty of our many customers and staff.

Captain Dean and Donna are proud to announce that daughter Rachel and son Chef Jim have bought Raquette Lake Navigation. Let the tradition of a family-owned and operated business continue! Let the tradition of cruise boats plying the waters of Raquette Lake continue!

With love,

Donna, Captain Dean, Chef Jim and Rachel.
