Luxury Lake Minnetonka Boat Cruise on 40ft Magnum Yacht in Excelsior, MN

Captain Jim was the perfect lake guide for our small, tight-knit group of business owners from all over the US, who are also good friends. We wanted an easy-going experience of being on the water and seeing the lake while we visited with one another — without an overly chatty or intrusive host. Captain Jim was perfect! Jim was professional, positive and knew how to “read the room” with his customers. Jim provided clear, proactive and polite communication from the very start of our inquiry, right up to the start of the cruise, during and after. He instilled confidence immediately, and he really connected with everyone in our group —while somehow also just focusing on driving the boat and letting us all have our time. Captain Jim was professional and positive with a strong emotional intelligence. Also… His classic yacht is clean, cared-for and convenient — as in… having a head/restroom onboard was so nice. If you appreciate knowing glances and friendly waves on the water, the boat has a unique classic beauty and is a fun head-turner. The whole experience with Captain Jim is highly recommended.

Truly could not have been more pleased with Jim. He offered a wonderful service, and all of my guests were so happy and had a wonderful time. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend! He offered us blankets, and let us use his cooler! The boat was fantastic as well - very clean and luxurious! Thanks so much Jim!

5 stars all around. Jim was communicative from the start and it was easy and accessible to park at his home. The boat is beautiful and spacious - it fit my entire group of friends and the under deck was great for our snacks and access to a bathroom. We had a tame group for my birthday and he brought floaties and helped us blow one up. Overall an easy process for renting! I no longer live in MN, so being back on the lake with good energy was the best ending to my summer. I hope to rent from him again in the future. Thank you, Jim!

Jim is an excellent host, he was quite friendly, respectful and involved, he catered to all our request and ensured that we were comfortable through out our ride. I recommend Jim and believe me when I say you won’t regret booking a ride with him…Great guy, everyone in my group had great things to say as well.

Jim’s boat was gorgeous, and had an incredible sound system! Jim was communicative and generous — a true gentleman. We had a wonderful day exploring the lake and swimming near the Big Island.
