We were visiting family from out of town and wanted to charter a boat as a fun activity for our group of four adults and two teens. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! From the very beginning, Captain Dan was incredibly helpful, responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. He answered all of our questions, offered great recommendations, and made the entire booking process seamless. He was even flexible when there was rainy weather during our travel dates! We spent the day on the lake with Mike, and I canât recommend him highly enough. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job tailoring the day to our group. We tubed, visited a sandbar, stopped for lunch at a local lakeside restaurant, cruised around the lake, and learned so much about the area along the way. He knew all the best spots and made sure everyone, from the adults to the teens, had an incredible time. If youâre thinking about renting a boat on Lake Minnetonka, donât hesitate. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. Weâll absolutely be booking with Captain Dan again the next time weâre in town! Thank you for the amazing memories!
