Why take this tour?
Ok, so you are tired of basic pontoons and you have zero interest in peddling. You want something a little more "fun" if ya know what I mean. This Tiki Themed party boat is PERFECT for you. This boat is our highest quality boat, and has real bamboo. Bring your own margaritas and feel like your not in Minnesota for a bit :)
By far our most popular boat in 2022, and we fully anticipate it being the #1 boat in 2023.

2.5 hour Fall/Sightseeing Tour-Private Tour Back Channel Brewing (18 max)
PaddleTaps longest tour of the season-2 hours and 30 minutes! This tour is new for 2023, and only being offered starting middle of September until end of season!
Explore Lake Minnetonka in the fall where the leaves start changing. Explore the channels and bays that the larger charter boats cannot offer. Bring your own beverages, some snacks and let us drive you around West Arm/Seaton Channel/Cooks Bay for 2.5 hour on the water, our longest cruises of the year! We will get up and close to some of the best fall colors Lake Minnetonka offers. This tour will have a bathroom on board as well with bluetooth music.
This tour will either be on our largest 30 foot LazyTap double deck boat, or the 25 foot TikiTap boat. Depending on boat availability with other tours being offered"
Pricing is $75/person for the 2.5 hours, and private bookings require 8 tickets to be purchased as a minimum. But you are more than welcome to book as many seats as you need up to the boat maximum of 18 guests.
LazyTap Double Deck-Back Channel Brewing (14 person and 18 person boats)
PaddleTap’s #1 boat tour! For the people who like to take it easy on the lake! Our LazyTap Party Boat ride has your name written all over it. This is our only double deck party boat that is massive! PaddleTap offers two boats for 2023. One that can hold 14 people, and another that can hold 18!
Both boats offers two levels and covers at least 300 of deck space on the main level with an additional 100 square feet on the upper deck! This boat has zero pedals and is the true lazy experience that can hold up to 18 total guests!
These boats offer a private party bar down the middle for you to load up with your own drinks and bench seating all the way down on both sides.
We have a large wide open space in the front where people can move around and take in the views, or sit in our comfy seating all around.
This is our only boat that can allow swimming (on requests) but it still does only last 100 minutes. If you do choose to swim, we limit it to four people at one time and must wear a life jacket (provided). Swimming on our LazyTap is only allowed out of Back Channel. We do not allow it out of Downtown Excelsior.
The LazyTap has a large 150 HSP motor, we can cover a fair amount of lake to enjoy everything that Lake Minnetonka offers! Our pickups are out of Back Channel Brewing, Lord Fletchers, Downtown Excelsior or Wayzata.

This boat has pedals which you to actually move this large vessel! The pedaling is 100% optional as we have a gas motor and not required, but most groups like to give it a try!
The maximum group size we allow is for 18 total people which allows comfortable sitting where people enjoy the stunning views of Lake Minnetonka! Our private pricing starts at 14 ppl, but you can always add up to 18 if your group needs it! This tour does get a glimpse of famous people from time to time and has the best sunsets of any tour we offer.
The pick-up location is out of Back Channel Brewing on Seaton Channel, but we can take special requests if needed.

RegularTap Paddle Pub-Downtown Excelsior
PaddleTap is proud to offer private tours on our only downtown Excelsior powered party boat! These one of a kind Pedal Pubs can be rented out on Excelsior Bay!
Our Paddle Pub "RegularTap" Party Boat, holds a maximum of 14 people! This is great for private cruises who want to depart out of the award winning downtown Excelsior which is only 20 minutes from Minneapolis!
Plenty of local bars and restaurant’s such as:
-Maynards
-Excelsior Brewing
-Haskells (also a liquor store for any last minute items)
-Lago Tacos or The Suburban that are walking distance from our pickup location!
This is definitely the spot on the lake with the most action. You can even see the famous “Big Island” on your cruise if you ask your captain!
