Our first trip was a bit of a disaster. Perhaps it was due to the people on the cruise and not the cruise company itself. It just seemed like my 5-year-old was not welcomed and we got a lot of eye rolls. After the cruise, we received a survey which I filled out. The next day, management contacted me and gave us a free cruise to try them out again.

The second time was wonderful! This cruise company does in fact like kids! Food was good. They give you a lot of information about the lake and some large houses. Even the music they played was perfect and not too overbearing. The captain even let my son drive the boat! AND my son got to pick out a little charm to have. My son was so excited! The captain was wonderful! Tip: bring a jacket because it's always colder on a lake. Seems like kids get bored after an hour, so bring an activity for them to do in case they get antsy or bring headphones if you give them your phone, so the rest of us aren't stuck listening to Sponge Bob SquarePants. This cruise is well worth it.

The Cruise was very enjoyable, we were celebrating my husbands 60th birthday! the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on the different scenery and homes on the Lake! The food was great, maybe a little bit bigger portions for the men, but all in all it was very fun, and would do it again.

We had a wonderful time cruising last Friday night for the happy hour cruise! Perfect way to enjoy an evening on the lake. Great drink selection, nice appetizers too, and good service. Really overall good value for only $30. Will definitely do this again.

Wow captain Aaron is so so much fun and very popular with the ladies. Very many attractive ladies by his side at all times, and it's easy to see why. He looks so cool and majestic at the ship's helm, it suits his confident and equanimous demeanor. I've heard rumors that captain Aaron has fended off sharks with his bear hands. If I were a shark, I would probably retreat in fear at the sight of captain Aaron's strong, manly arms. His other skills include bear wrestling and carpentry, which he is very skilled at. All that to say these were good charter cruises.

Our Office booked Wayzata Bay Charters for our Summer office outing. This was by far the BEST outing we have had. Captain Aaron and Josh were fantastic. I recommend Wayzata Bay Charters to everyone and tell them they have to ask to have Aaron and Josh. From the food, drinks, tour, and boat everyone was 10/10! Thank you for the best time ever!

I have cancer and was walking slow up the stairs because I didn't want to go up if there was no place to sit and the captin come from behind me and said excuse me and impatiently pushed me. I nearly fell. Disgusting service and treatment.
