THE VESSEL

Spacious boats for full groups

The fleet is configured to carry up to 19 passengers, giving groups room to spread out and relax without compromises on comfort.

THE ROUTE

Charters on Big Spirit Lake

Charters operate on Big Spirit Lake from Arnolds Park, allowing ample time to cruise the lake and find sheltered coves for swimming or sunning.

THE INCLUSIONS

Captain and safety gear included

Each rental includes a captain, lifejackets, an anchor and a maui mat so your group can focus on the day rather than packing every bit of equipment.

What the day feels like

What the charter feels like

Expect a relaxed, group-focused day on the water: a captain boards with your party, the boat launches from Arnolds Park and you spend several hours cruising Big Spirit Lake aboard a roomy boat outfitted with safety gear and an anchor for stops.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this charter suits best—and who should reconsider.

1
Large GroupsIdeal: the boats seat up to 19, making these charters a strong fit for reunions, corporate outings or large family days.
2
Adult GroupsBest match: organizers must be at least 18 to reserve, so groups of adults or mixed-age parties with an adult organizer work well.
3
Families with TeensSuitable when an adult 18+ handles the reservation and supervision—the boat’s capacity and included lifejackets support family use.
4
Solo Day-TrippersLess ideal if you’re traveling alone and only need a short outing; these boats are sized for groups and are best when you can fill several seats.
