01/25/05
A new casino ship that began sailing from Fernandina Beach on New Year's Eve is preparing for a boost in business during Super Bowl week.
The Escapade sails daily from Fernandina Beach. The three-deck, 185-foot ship can accommodate 350 passengers and offers 150 slot machines, eight blackjack tables and craps, roulette and poker tables.
"We expect a large increase during Super Bowl week and after as people learn about the ship and that it's sailing out of Fernandina," said spokesman George Palmer.
The Escapade is docked at the Fernandina Harbor Marina in downtown Fernandina Beach. It sails at 7 p.m. six days a week, returning at midnight Monday through Thursday and at 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. There are also matinee cruises from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $10 per person, with group rates available for parties of 25 or more.
