Summer travel season is officially underway, and this week on The SHORE Line, we’re heading out onto Lake Erie with one of the captains behind one of Shores & Islands Ohio’s most iconic experiences—the Jet Express. Jill sits down with Captain Jackson Ives (who also happens to be a pilot and the company’s security officer!) for a behind-the-scenes look at life at the helm. From the path to becoming a captain and the extensive safety training required, to how weather impacts operations on Lake Erie and what a typical day looks like for the crew, this episode offers an insider perspective on island transportation. You’ll also hear about the evolution of Jet Express, what makes the passenger experience so unique, this season’s service details, and even a few memorable stories from life on the lake.
