I spent the afternoon in Stillwater, Minnesota. It is a small, scenic town located on the banks of…read morethe St. Croix river. I'm not feeling well, so we didn't do much walking. There were several specialty shops and small cafes. I liked the boat club and took photos of the riverboats. The river was frozen in spots so I wasn't able to take a boat ride. The town was bustling with locals and visitors. I plan to visit again during the summer. If you're even in the Minneapolis area, I highly suggest you visit this town and boat club.

So here is the deal...We rented a nice pontoon boat. We drove the nice pontoon boat down the river…read moreto a sandbar and hung out for an hour. When we tried to start our pontoon boat it was no longer nice. Our boat would not start (the starter had failed). We called the Stillwater boat club and 1hour and 45 minutes later they arrived with a different pontoon boat. Now, I could name the young man who brought the pontoon boat down for us but I don't want to get too personal. I just want to say that we were told, by the fore mentioned young man, that there would be a discount on the fuel and the rental to make up for our time marooned. Here is what we received: An approximate discount on fuel of $10 and a promised $50 discount on the next $490 pontoon rental (gas included). Moral of the story: If you would like to give up 20% of your time on a pontoon and receive a credit for that loss of enjoyment of 10%, go to the Stillwater Boat Club and Rentals. -John C.

The charter service operates from a little past flood season in the spring until early October. We chartered them for a groom's dinner. The boat is both elegant and comfortable. It is nicely appointed but they don't allow stiletto heels or black soled shoes (it wrecks the decks) so you have a good excuse to kick off your shoes and relax. The cruise was a great alternative to renting a hall or private room in a restaurant and the price is comparable. We had about 25 in our party. It POURED for most of our cruise, but the boat has a large indoor lounge area and there was enough seating for everyone. Besides the captain, we had two really friendly, competent servers who kept us all dry and made sure the bar and buffet stayed well stocked. Food is all buffet style, catered by the Lake Elmo Inn (yum!) and ranges from appetizer trays to full meals. Meals range from lunch buffet ($15/person) to Captain's Choice ($38/person) with a minimum of 20 people. Drinks extra; they have a compact but full bar. Summer on the St. Croix is fleeting and fabulous--take advantage of this while you can!

My wife and I have taken several of the cruises over the years. The fall cruises are our favorite…read more If your able to go during the week, it is a little easier to park, but even on a busy day there is ample free parking along the river on the St Croix boat property. Buffet is tasty and plentiful. The ramp is a little steep if you have walking issues and the boat (Avalon) has three tiers so you will need to climb steps. I write this not as discouragement, but a heads up just so you understand potential challenges.
