Officials from the Lake Geneva Cruise Line conducted their annual mailboat jumper tryouts on June 11 to determine who will be their mailboat delivers for the 2026 tour season. Seven candidates tried out with four being selected. Several of the candidates were veteran mailboat jumpers, while others were trying out for the first time in several years. The candidates were judged on how fast they could jump from the U.S. Mailboat Walworth to piers along the Lakefront, deliver mail and jump back onto the boat. They also were judged on how they could narrate information about historic homes along the Lakefront area. Several of the veteran jumpers said they enjoyed being a part of tours and interacting with the riders. The judges said the hardest part of their job is selecting the candidates. Lake Geneva Cruise Line’s mailboat tours run through Sept. 15. For more information, visit www.cruiselakegeneva.com.
