Bay to Bay Boat Rentals

Reviewed By sandye449 - Excelsior, United States

We rented a pontoon July 3rd from Tom at Bayto Bay to kick off the 4th of July holiday and took 9 friends on a cocktail cruise around Lake Minnetonka. Everything was perfect! The staff does all the hauling and lifting of our all our stuff(bags, coolers etc) the boat was in new condition, clean, and had an easy to use porta potty a big plus. Tom takes his time to educate you on the lake, channels and bouts so when we headed out we had not a care in the world. This is so much better than owning a boat- it's has a full tank of gas (included in the cost of the rental) life jackets, fire extinguisher, blue tooth for our music, and if a I mention a porta potty! I would highly reccomend Bay to Bay to anyone wanting to spend sometime on a beautiful lake, in a beautiful boat and have everything taken care of for you.

There’s a reason my friends and I go back to the same outfitter year after year. From start to finish Ely Outfitting Company & Boundary Waters Guide Service is there for you from picking your route to picking you up at the drop-off point after your trip. They’ve never failed to answer my questions and go above and beyond what I needed at the time. Use them, you won’t regret it.

We have access to Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Canada's Quetico Park from our location on the end of the Gunflint Trail. Both areas are protected wilderness areas with hundreds of lakes interconnected by trails called portages. The fishing is incredible for walleye, smallmouth bass, lake trout and northern pike. You sleep in a tent under a starry night sky. You travel by canoe from lake to lake. Loons and moose are frequent sightings. Please visit our website.
