The only downside for me was the music was a little loud and kind of ruined the laid back vibe. But it was clear others enjoyed it!!

The boat is an old streetcar that was sunk into the lake & then brought back up to be reused. Loved being able to spend a couple hours on the lake & get a little history lesson too. Aside from being attacked by Japanese beetles on the way back, we couldn't have asked for a nicer Sunday.

The staff did an awesome job sharing the history of lake minnetonka and explaining the role of steamboats and depots in the area. Great staycation and enough to do around downtown wayzata or excelsior for a solid day of friends and family. We had grand parents, parents, tweens and kids and they all loved it. Only regret... Wish they would have also touched on the gangster era around the lake. Cool pre-read is the book Dillinger Slept here.

It was a nice 2 lvl yacht w/ 2 bathrooms. I think the original food promoted was ribs and southern fried chicken but we actually had appetizers (meatballs & eggrolls) and 2 different salads, rolls and chicken alfredo for the main dish. They had an assortment of desserts. We actually had ribs and chicken the day before so the pasta was great. They offered free soda & had a cash bar. You could sit on either level, w/ options to see the front or back of the yacht. the lower lvl had indoor seating. We were able to play music. The 2 staff we had on the boat were nice & very personable. Loved the touristy facts we got while on the lake. Lake Minnetonka is filled with gems. Such a fun time with family!

went on a hawaiian luau cruise on the queen of excelsior quite awhile back.. the boat itself was…read morepretty nice.. it had a top and bottom deck.. the bottom area was where the food was.. they also had the a/c running for those who sat inside (it was assigned seating) and the roof on the interior had mirrors all over.. the windows were tinted so the sun wouldn't get to anyone who was sitting indoors but the ones sitting above deck suffered a bit.. although there was a roof that covered us on the upper deck, the windows were plastic sheets that rolled up.. eventually during the evening, it was nice having to stick your hand or head out the window and feeling that nice breeze.. and the view was great.. nothing to block your way when taking pix of the lake and the sunset.. when it was time to eat, because we were located on the top, by the time we reached the food table, they pretty much ran out of everything besides the rice.. there were just a few shrimp left and barely any salad.. let's just say i took the last of the shrimp and the salad.. the food was tasty but wished we would've been able to taste the tender pork, other seafood dishes, fruits and whatnot.. my husband was pretty upset and told me that he never wants to do this again and if so, we better be sitting on the bottom deck so we get first dibs.. if anything, we're surprised that whoever planned the food didn't account for those sitting on the top deck because there were a good amount of people that didn't get any food.. to think, they even ran out of the big plates so we had to use the small appetizer plates to put food in.. my husband barely ate and was super disappointed.. to me, it was still a nice experience minus the food part.. would like to try again in the future IF the hubby lets..

He told us some about the area and then obviously information about the Minnesota grapes and growing season. This place was very clean. Nice gift shop. I'm not a wine snob but I do think I have good taste buds. They had some really good wine. For $20, you received 5 samples. They were nice sized pours as well.

There is tons of outdoor seating - which was awesome as well as games and other activities to do outside We then went into the restaurant and were seated outside for dinner. Service was a little slower but it was super busy inside - so understandable. Absolutely get the large soft pretzel with caramel. What a genius idea and we were All floored at how good it was. We each got a different pizza (fig, pesto, hot honey) and a salad. 2 were ordered gluten free but they made all 3 gluten free - so I cannot speak to how the regular crust is unfortunately which I was looking forward too. The flavors were all great and would order all again.
