You'll find us moored at the Mariner's Inn on Lake Mendota. All cruises include a captain and crew, buffet food service, beverage options and restrooms aboard one of our four motor yachts. Enjoy a unique perspective of Madison throughout spring, summer and fall. Our food surpasses its reputation for excellence. You pick the meal and the time: brunch, lunch, appetizer, dinner or moonlight cruise. B

ar service is always at hand: open, partial open, or cash bar. We are here to show you and your group the miles of beautiful shoreline. There has never been a better way to experience Madison than this. From the deck of the Betty Lou, listen to the sound of lapping waves and feel the breeze on your face. Whether you are standing on the open deck or relaxing in our spacious cabin, you have got the best seat in town. Our motor yachts are fully equipped, and our experienced crew is prepared to make your cruise a carefree event to remember.
