The Esperanza
Rose is a majestic 65-foot vintage wooden cruising vessel that's been sailing
the waters of Keuka Lake since the summer of 2005. Prior to her rather
dramatic arrival on Keuka Lake, the Rose cruised the waters of Chesapeake
Bay, until she was purchased in 2003. Two years later, after cruising up
the Atlantic seaboard, the Hudson River, the Erie Canal, and the Seneca
Lake outlet, the Rose made a dramatic overland journey to her new home
on Keuka Lake. The Esperanza Rose offers the most elegant cruise in the
Finger Lakes. Enjoy old-world elegance and the unparalleled beauty of Keuka
Lake from the decks of The Rose!
