Both models were 2 floors generally nice. I did like this most recent one better because it had a front deck and way better seating areas in my opinion. Staff were nice. The bar/snack options were only okay in my opinion. Very limited to type of drinks they could mix and also a tiny bit of inconsistency depending on who made the drink. The drinks were reasonably priced. The rental package I guess required a meal plan - which chips and salsa and veggie tray were chosen. They also sold a few snacks at the bar (a few typical bar snacks). We were able to use our own device to place music via an aux. It was a 2 hr event, we had so much fun the time went by really fast. I would recommend their rentals!

Looking back on July 31, our family held a beautiful, non-traditional Celebration of Life for my…read moremother on Lake Minnetonka. It was a perfect two-hour tour, accommodating about 30+ guests, including a pastor who was able to come on board to lead the service. Everything looked pristine, with white tablecloths on all the tables, and they were so accommodating in letting us bring in our own floral arrangements to personalize the space. The setup was incredibly quick and easy, thanks to their modern amenities, including a casting system for the television and a Bluetooth-compatible sound system for our music. we held a biodegradable floral release off of the back of the boat for a memorial service. A special thank you to Stephanie for helping us coordinate and to Captain Todd and all of the amazing staff for being so accommodating. Despite some rain, they made sure everything was flawless for our small, intimate event. This wasn't our first time with Paradise Charter Cruises; we have enjoyed many casual cruises and family events with them on Lake Minnetonka over the years. Every time has been wonderful, and this was yet another perfect event to honor my mom. To top it all off, my husband, my eight-year-old son, and I returned for a follow-up cruise a couple of days later to enjoy the lake and reflect on the celebration. they gave my son special captain privileges which were part of an amazing memory. This is a fantastic company and we highly recommend them.

They replaced the plugs and the water pump(impeller was part of this). When Bayside did a lake test, one of the hosing the pushes water through the exhausted popped up.

I noticed it before I left their dock and called it out to them. They did try to repair the damage but ever since I have had nothing but problems. The boat was in perfect condition prior to them working on it. Won't be back to them every again. Many other good shops on the lake.

On Memorial Day weekend, my engine starter failed after filling up with gas at their dock. I was literally stuck there, with nothing I could do. It was the busiest day of the year for putting boats in the water, and instead of being frustrated with me for taking up space at their dock, Aaron, the manager, was very understanding and helpful. He helped me try to troubleshoot the problem. And when we couldn't isolate the issue, he volunteered to tow me back to my slip, which wasn't all that close. Keep in mind, they were very busy that day. And through the whole towing process, he was positive and kept reassuring me my boat would be up and running again in no time. When I tried to give him money for the tow, he politely said it was on the house, and he hoped I'd come back to them for gas in the future. What a total class act. Now I only go there, no matter the distance. Thanks to Aaron and the rest of the team that helped me that day...I appreciate you all!

I came to Bayview Event Center for my friend's wedding and was very impressed. The first part of…read morethe reception was held downstairs with passed appetizers. The bartenders and servers were very quick. There really wasn't ever a line at the bar and there was almost always someone around with a tray of food. The party moved upstairs about an hour later to a large room with warm wooden beams and large windows. I loved the decorations and place settings. It was very elegant. We felt quite fancy as our waters were constantly refilled and champagne was poured. I was also a huge fan of the dinner buffet with mini sausages, peppers and onions, the spinach dip and crackers, sesame chicken, sauteed vegetables and various infused oils and breads. At the end of the buffet was a build your own pasta option. They had three chefs: one mixed the veggies and meat, another cooked the pasta and mixings, the third added the sauce and finished heating it. It was very impressive and such a great idea! I would just suggest that they line it up in opposite order next time so that it cooks from left to right (following the buffet line). People seemed a little confused and the line was held up. At this weeding there weren't a ton of guests, maybe a little more than 100 (if that), but the dance floor looked a bit crowded. In this particular instance it didn't seem to be a big deal since most people seemed to be good friends and close family. I'm not sure if that was the wedding party's choice or standard. There was more space for a larger floor, but it wasn't utilized.
