“THANK YOU for the great time you and the crew put on for us last night on our Dinner Cruise! Evry one of my fellow co-workers said they had a great time, we were impressed with the whole experience, and the food was very good. I will for sure be telling people of our trip on the boat, and I for one will be back for more! Great job done.”

– Warren, First Supply

“We did our wedding reception on Gull Lake Cruises (formerly Destiny Cruises). We did a 3 hour boat ride (It was not long enough). Michele was very gracious with all my questions and made sure our day was perfect. Captain Jay is very knowledgeable about the lake. He is also great with people and children! His wife works on the boat as well, she is also amazing. All of our guests loved the boat ride. They thought it was an amazing venue. Before we chose Gull Lake Cruises (formerly Destiny Cruises), I called about 20 venues. This was the most affordable for our group size. I personally think this was the best decision. We had perfect weather and a perfect night. Thank you Gull Lake Cruises!”

– Pauline and Dan Reller

They were so professional, and nice if you could let them know that. We are very happy everyone had a fantastic night! It was definitely a magical day!”

“I can’t thank you and your crew enough for making our day so special. I was so speechless when I came aboard – the boat was decorated so beautifully and you took my breath away! Everyone is still talking about the cruise today and how much fun everyone had. Everyone thought the boat as a venue was such a cool and unique decision. Everyone talked about how nice you and the crew were and how handsome Captain Jay was.”
