Lake Minnetonka Boat Excursion Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes and nothing better illustrates it than Lake Minnetonka. With 150 miles of shoreline, 30 separate bays and lakes, a series of channels and dozens of islands, it’s no wonder the Sioux named the lake “great water.” Lake Minnetonka has been a destination playground since its late 1800’s heyday. Today the lakeshore is dotted with charming neighborhoods, homes, parks, beaches, fishing areas, marinas and quaint towns. Private charter boats are ideal for corporate events, private parties, school or religious organizations, dinner lake tours, sunset cruises, or an afternoon of fun and sun. Boats have full top and enclosure with the ability to sail in any weather, a large sun deck outside and climate controlled lounge indoors, passenger-friendly spacious yacht design, uniformed crew, licensed kitchen, sound system, fully licensed bar, and narration of historical and private estates.
