The boat was nice and clean (maybe 2-3 years old showed some signs of use/wear/tear). Try to carpool with your group, as there isn't much parking. It's a BUSY lake, so be mindful of choppy waters and other boaters. If you are wanting post-up at one area for most of the day for swimming and hanging out, it's the perfect lake for that. Had a great time! Thanks, Your Boat Club!

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.

We saw huge mansions and he gave us a little backstory on some homes. The food was yummy. We ordered a bunch of different drinks. Spicy margaritas, Moscow mules, spicy bloody Mary's.

All week there was going to be chance of storms so we wanted to wait it out and see if it was going to be accurate or not. The cancellation policy on the day of is for weather only (rain, high winds etc). So it's now the day of a reservation (11-7) at 9 am and it's severe thunderstorm watch all day. I call at 9 and ask if we're able to get a full refund, they say no because they have to wait to see if it's going to be bad weather during our reservation time. Fair. I call back at 1045 to cancel because I see it's going to be bad all day, not worth going out at all for $750 or even a partial refund of 375 to go out for half the day. I was still charged the $100 cancellation fee even though the weather was no good. It's upsetting they tried to get me to do a half day on the water when an hour into our reservation it's been lighting. We live an hour away from this location so none of it made sense for us to commit to this reservation unfortunately. If you don't want to go through what I did with no sympathy, either book another company, but your own boat, or cancel 3 days ahead of time

Austin guided me out into the Mississippi and we went through a couple basic yoga moves that are incredibly more challenging with the core-burning lateral instability of a paddleboard. As long as you're not afraid to fall into the water, (and in summer, how could you be?) this is the coolest way to practice yoga I've experienced yet. They're just getting started, so look for them in a waterway near you very soon!
