Members are bringing their clients and prospects along.

You're the reason the boat leaves the dock. People remember that.
What to expect
New to a Lake Minnetonka Cruise?
Lake Minnetonka is one of the most scenic lakes in the Twin Cities. It's over 14,000 acres of water wrapped in wooded shoreline, quiet bays, and multi-million dollar homes you can take in right from the deck.
- Open deck and covered seating, so guests can move around and mingle however they like.
- Food and drinks are provided, thanks to our sponsors, so there's no cash bar and no awkward lines.
- No assigned seats and no public tour crowds. It's a private charter just for The Connection Collective and our guests.
- Casual but upscale. Think boat shoes and a polo, not a gala.
Fall on the lake
October on Lake Minnetonka is one of the best times of year in Minnesota to be on the water. The crowds are gone, the air is crisp, and the shoreline is turning gold and red. It's a different kind of view than a summer cruise.
