The top deck is less bumpy, but it's warmer down below. Food for the cruise was a very good picnic buffet, all very tasty and hot. Pulled pork, chicken breasts, and brats with tater and macaroni salads and a variety of bars and cookies for deserts. Drinks were part of the deal and they were great, we all enjoyed ourselves. The staff is extremely nice and competent, you will enjoy yourself. Windy and cooler days are likely not as much fun but you will still enjoy yourself. Parking is metered street parking, the ride was $12 for the three hour tour.

Wish they would have also touched on the gangster era around the lake. Cool pre-read is the book Dillinger Slept here.

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!

I have booked a private cruise through Wayzata Bay Charter Cruises for 3 different years and it has…read morebeen an amazing experience every time. 2 different occasions was on the Voyager boat and the most recent was on the Elixir. Both were 2 story boats with a stereo system, bar on board, and 2 bathrooms. You can take a look at the boat layouts online and choose one that fits for your party. When booking a private cruise, it is mandatory to select a food package so keep in mind that the price of the boat you see online does not initially include the total of the food costs and the additional taxes and fees. The staff have always been so nice and really create a fun environment. It always goes by fast because we are all having so much fun! I will continue booking through them because we have never had a bad experience.

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.

A very classic nautical/lakeside vibe. We were thrashing out a bunch of work stuff for hours, so they didn't hover over us, but checked in every so often to refill water, etc. We also ordered lunch for everyone - a variety of mostly pub food appetizers, etc. Everything was good. Great place for a lakeside relaxing meal, served by some really nice people.
