A Good Ship History

While I’d like to claim all the credit, the Good Ship Gelato is the result of a bunch of good ideas and serendipitous opportunities converging and plopping down right on my lap.

📷Captain Jake in his natural habitat circa 2013.

The main inspiration came from “Jake’s on the Lake”, an ice cream boat run by Little Sebago Laker, Jake Viola, that lasted through his college years, 2010-2013. Some of my fondest childhood memories on the lake are of Jake’s boat (the “SS Ice Cream Float”) cruising up to our dock to the tune of Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. When Jake graduated from Yale he hung up his captain’s hat and decided to move on to his next adventure. While I don’t begrudge him that, his retirement left a gaping hole in the Little Sebago Lake experience. A few others tried their hand at the Ice Cream boat game, but none could live up to the gold-standard set by Jake.
