Mooring in Wayzata, the Public TikiTap Cruise turns a classic pontoon into a small floating island: bamboo accents, a custom tiki bar and bar-style seating set the scene for an easy, party-friendly outing on Lake Minnetonka. The vessel is set up for private groups, with a captain at the helm, onboard Bluetooth sound, a full bathroom and a large canopy so the two-hour cruise runs rain or shine.
