“It’s the most at peace I’ve ever been.”

For Captain Jeanette, boating is a chance to slow down, connect with herself and experience the water in a way that feels real. She says it has made her feel vulnerable, proud and closer to nature.

That’s why bringing the North Coast Harbor Boat Show back to Cleveland meant so much. It gave people the chance to step aboard, feel a boat move beneath them and experience the waterfront for themselves, including those who might not otherwise have the opportunity.

Thank you to everyone who came down to the harbor and shared that experience with us! We hope the show got you out on the water and inspired you to imagine where your own journey could take you!

Sometimes a day at the Boat Show can spark an idea for the future.

Captain Jeanette had the chance to talk with these kids about the many careers that can get them on, around and working with the water.

Introducing the next generation to opportunities in the marine trades is another important part of what the North Coast Harbor Boat Show is all about.
