With a curated fleet of premium watercraft, concierge-level dockside service, and an ethos grounded in hospitality, Bay to Bay isn't just a boat club.

For families, professionals, and weekenders alike, Bay to Bay is an elegant solution to the question: What if you could have all the perks of boat ownership with none of the work?

The Vision Behind the Club: Meet Tom Jacob

Bay to Bay is the brainchild of Tom Jacob, a lifelong lake enthusiast whose boating roots trace back to his childhood summers at his grandfather’s northern Minnesota resort. With a deep understanding of what makes time on the water special—and what often gets in the way—Tom founded Excel Boat Club on St. Albans Bay before launching Bay to Bay to bring a more elevated and accessible boating experience to Lake Minnetonka.

Known for his hands-on leadership and unwavering commitment to service, Tom remains an active presence at the docks. His passion for making the lake more welcoming is evident in every member interaction, every perfectly polished vessel, and every detail of the club’s operations.

“People want freedom,” he has said. “Freedom to enjoy the lake without the burdens of ownership. That’s what we’re offering.”

A Lake Life Without Limits

Membership at Bay to Bay Boat Club is designed around ease, flexibility, and premium experience. Members enjoy access to a top-tier fleet that includes luxury tritoons, sport boats, center consoles, and fishing boats—all impeccably maintained and ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Membership Highlights:

  • Unlimited reservations during boating season
  • Easy online scheduling via mobile app
  • Multiple dock locations across the lake
  • Dockside assistance and concierge service
  • No maintenance, cleaning, or winter storage worries


It’s a white-glove experience that redefines how we engage with the water. Show up, climb aboard, and go—whether it’s a slow cruise to dinner in Wayzata or a tubing adventure with the kids in Phelps Bay.

Explore Every Bay in Style

The club’s Spring Park Bay headquarters offers the perfect launch point to discover the lake’s hidden coves and celebrated hotspots:

  • Wayzata Bay: Upscale dining, boutiques, and boardwalks
  • Excelsior Bay: Lively with restaurants, shops, and lakefront events
  • Big Island: The legendary gathering place for sun, swim, and socializing
  • North Arm, Maxwell, and Halsted Bays: Tranquil escapes with unmatched scenery


Whether you're entertaining guests or seeking solo serenity, Lake Minnetonka’s 100+ miles of shoreline are yours to explore—no slip required.
