Choose Your Cruise on the Vista Fleet
By: Sheryl Jensen
Or are you planning a special event for the summer
or fall months? Do you have a wedding, or a wedding
shower, an anniversary, special birthday party, or a summer
celebration to thank your employees, on your calendar?
Whatever your special event might be, consider making the
Vista Fleet your first stop for planning a day or evening your
group will never forget.
The Vista Star is the largest of their fleet and can hold up to
220 guests for a reception or 125 for a sit down dinner. It has
3 decks, 2 of which are enclosed. In addition to private full
boat or deck charters, this vessel also provides their daily
grand sightseeing cruises as well as their pizza and evening
dinner cruises.
Their intimate private charter boat, the Vista Queen, is
available for small groups. The vessel can accommodate a
maximum of 36 passengers for a sit down dinner charter
or up to 50 passengers for a charter reception (weather
permitting).
Sarah Steinbach, who owns the Vista Fleet with her
husband Justin, says, “Think outside the box with all your
special events by talking to us first.”
One of a Kind Weddings
“So many people these days are looking for ‘destination’
weddings, trying to find a spot that is unique. Couples
who love their city also love to show it off for their
weddings or receptions. A wedding/reception package on
the Vista is perfect!” says Sarah.
With a customized package to fit your wedding budget,
the Vista Fleet can provide the unique setting of the
beautiful boat with Lake Superior and the Lift Bridge as
your backdrop. Or you could have your wedding
elsewhere and have the reception onboard.
Whether you want a small wedding with just the bride
and groom and two guests, champagne, and a cake; or a
sit-down dinner for twenty, forty, or more, the Vista folks
will work with you for the picture perfect wedding. They
can even assist with fresh flowers, decorations, and music.
Memorable Parties or Meetings
Are you in charge of a business meeting with clients or out
of town business people? The Vista Star is the ticket for a
breakfast, lunch, or dinner tour.
For a anniversary, birthday, or retirement party, let them
do the work for you. “We work with Grandma’s Restaurant and Duluth Grill as our preferred caterers but are also
