Cool thing to do if you wanted to do something different and scenic. The evening cruise has a dinner buffet. It's nothing fancy but it had BBQ pork, roasted chicken, potatoes that we all liked a lot, fruit, Cole slaw, cookies. There is a cash bar for soft drinks and alcohol that I thought was reasonable. There is music and no narration during the cruise. You can sit on the bottom floor, which is air conditioned. The middle floor had the windows open. The top of the boat is open air. Great views. Worth doing.
What a hidden gem of a wedding venue! My wife and I just got married on the Majestic Star and the whole experience start to finish was incredible. We knew we wanted a venue that didn’t come with a blank slate. Stillwater River Boats provides chairs, linen, tables, silverware, a variety of different food options, full bar and an amazing crew for your wedding day (I am probably missing things)! They were transparent from the start, no hidden additional fees or things we didn’t expect. If you want to provide your guests an amazing experience for your wedding, you will NOT regret using Stillwater River Boats for your big day. They are beyond organized and you can tell they have been doing this for a very long time! This gave me a huge sense of peace during the chaos that wedding planning can bring. The only thing to be prepared for is the time you get to set up the boat for your wedding, per Coast Guard regulations the captain must be aboard the boat prior to anyone else and they arrive two hour prior to leaving the dock. They tell this well in advance and as long as you’re prepared and organized, you will be just fine. Our captain JJ was amazing and even arrived earlier than expected! We had all of our stuff loaded on to carts they provided us so the moment he got on the boat we could start setting up. Amy was so helpful with the planning process and responded quickly to all of our questions. Bobby gave us our tour and final walk through of the boat and answered probably over 100 questions I had about the boat and the day of logistics. The entire crew for our wedding was incredible and provided the best service for our guests start to finish. Truly want to relive this day over and over!
My daughters and I had a wonderful experience aboard the Stillwater River Boats. We were able to get last minute seats on a dinner time cruise, and were so happy we did! The price was reasonable for the amount of food offered, and the drinks at the bar also felt fairly priced with a lot of options. My daughters had Shirley Temples and I had a glass of wine. The weather was perfect for the beginning of our cruise, the sun was beginning to set and the river was beautiful so we walked around on the upper deck before dinner was served. A storm arrived with about 45 minutes left and it was pretty magical to watch the rain from inside the middle deck. The windows are huge so you can still see everything. It’s definitely a pretty ride rain or shine. The staff was also lovely from start to finish. We recommend this experience to anyone in the beautiful Stillwater area!
