CRUISIN’

When you’re here, relaxing on a boat is usually a vacation highlight. But not everyone is comfortable navigating new waters or has experience driving a boat. That doesn’t mean you’re destined to be land-locked. The Breezy Belle on Pelican Lake and Gull Lake Cruises on the Gull Chain of Lakes offers cruising options where you can kick back and enjoy a fun time on the water!
