Get Your Team On Aboard

There is more to a corporate cruise or private charter than just drifting along. These Wisconsin charter cruise lines specialize in giving your group the space they need to network, engage in teambuilding, and bond as a group, all in swanky surroundings and a relaxing atmosphere aboard a beautiful boat.

Dells Boat Tours

Offering tours of both the Upper Dells and Lower Dells, as well as Sunset Dinner Cruises, guests climb aboard Dells Boat Tours’ 17 comfortable vessels to enjoy the beautiful scenery, fascinating history, shore landings, ports of call, and delicious food.

While you’re in the area: Wisconsin Dells, the Waterpark Capital of the World® invites guests to enjoy the largest concentration of outdoor and indoor waterparks on the planet. But that’s not all — drink in local breweries, wineries, and distilleries, relax at local spas, get in some golf, eat, drink, shop, and more.

Lake Geneva Cruise Line

With eight different vessels to choose from, the Lake Geneva fleet offers both public tours and private charters on the sparkling blue waters of Lake Geneva. Comfortably transport from 12 to 225 passengers on boats ranging from the Lorelei, a 41’ cabin cruiser, to the Grand Belle of Geneva, designed after turn-of-the century steamers.

Play the Course
