It’s gonna be a windy one…!

After discussing with the Captain and representatives from OLLI at BSC we made the decision to postpone today’s “OLLI on the Water” cruise.

Forecasted winds will be sustained around 20MPH and gusts up to 30MPH, way too windy to provide a quality learning experience.

Friday’s conditions look much more favorable, thank you for supporting us while we prioritize passenger safety.

Since 2008, the Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation has owned and operated The Lewis & Clark Riverboat and in 2023, added us to their commercial vessel fleet.

But did you know that The Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation also operates gaming at multiple locations throughout Bismarck and Mandan?

If you’ve ever wanted to deal cards, or if you would like to learn…get ahold of us!

Call or text 701-226-9552…we’d love to have your application.

Just another reason why you can relax aboard The Mnishoshe Charter Pontoon, as here are photos of the annual safety and certification underway with compliance and inspection officers with the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

Each year our vessel is inspected and drilled under USCG supervision. Every item down to the first aid kit is inspected and certified.

In addition to this we also conduct “man-overboard!” drills in front of the USCG, confirming we know what to do in an emergency.

In addition to this the captain and crew go through CPR and first aid training from accredited trainers.

Why do I share this? Because we want everyone to know that they are in good hands when they board our vessel.

Mnishoshe is licensed, inspected, certified, and insured to give you fun, safe, and fully customized Missouri River Adventures.

We are very excited to announce our new partnership with Bismarck State College!

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute or “OLLI” program at BSC now offers one-of-kind local Missouri River Historical courses, delivered aboard the The Mnishoshe: Charter Pontoon!

OLLI on the Water:
Exploring the Missouri

Join us for a unique class aboard the Mnishoshe, a comfortable charter pontoon! While we glide along the water, we will explore the rich history of this mighty river. We will discuss its role in shaping culture and transportation routes, as well as its impact on the surrounding landscape. This class will build upon discussions from the July 17 classroom session - The Missouri River: History, Culture, and Your Personal Connection. However, this time, we will dive into the river's story from the perspective of the water itself. Get ready for lively discussions, breathtaking scenery, and a newfound appreciation for the Missouri River.
Please note that the July 17 classroom session is not a prerequisite for this excursion. Seats are limited, so register early to secure your spot.
