   20' Lund Bass Boat for 3 in Chicago, Illinois

   I honestly didn’t expect to walk away from this trip with a whole new hobby, but here I am—hooked for life. Guy has this way of making the entire experience feel effortless and exciting, whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s been at it for years. From teaching the basics with real patience to creating an atmosphere that’s both laid-back and full of energy, he made it easy to fall in love with fishing. The way he explained the gear, read the water, and shared his stories made every moment out there on the water feel like something special. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that kind of passion is contagious. I went in thinking this was just a one-time adventure, but now I’m already planning my next trip—and buying my own gear. Can’t thank Guy enough for turning what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend into the start of a lifelong obsession. If you’ve ever been on the fence about trying fishing, let Guy be the reason you dive in—you won’t regret it.

   Luxurious 47' Sea Ray Sun Yacht - Explore Lake Michigan the Ultimate Experience

   We had an amazing time out on the water thanks to boat owner Breanna and Captain Mike! From the moment we arrived, everything was handled professionally and with such a warm, welcoming attitude. Breanna made the booking process smooth and stress-free, and Captain Mike was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. What stood out the most was how safe we felt the entire time. Captain Mike explained all the safety protocols before we left the dock, and throughout the trip, he stayed attentive and in control. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience, knowing we were in great hands. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Whether you’re looking to cruise, swim, or just soak up the sun, this is the trip to book. We highly recommend Breanna and Captain Mike to anyone looking for a safe and unforgettable boating experience. We’ll definitely be back!

   50' Sea Ray Sundancer Yacht for 13 Guests in Chicago, IL -July Promo (MPY#1)

   We rented the yacht for our friend’s 30th birthday bash and had an amazing time! Everyone associated with the boat, along with our captain, was so helpful and nice. We could not have asked for a better experience! Make sure to bring some ice for the cooler along with you. And know that there is an opportunity to get into the lake and swim if you’d like!

   50' Sea Ray Sundancer Yacht for 13 Guests in Chicago, IL -July Promo (MPY#1)

   Chartering through Michael and his team was the best decision we made in planning this boat ride. From the customer service and communication response time in booking to the captain’s knowledge and ensuring our safety, everything was amazing. This was a first for many of us but the boat had everything we needed, was perfect in size and Michael and Captain G made sure we were informed, prepared, and enjoyed ourselves! Thank you Michael and team again for an amazing time!! We’re already planning our next booking with you!

   I booked this yacht for my birthday, and it was nothing short of amazing! Their hospitality is top-notch. Look no further!! The yacht comfortably fit my group of 9 (could take more as permitted)— very spacious! I loved every bit of my experience on Meridian. Will book again.

   We had a wonderful time. The crew were very welcoming. The yacht was clean and as listed. It was a very beautiful and spacious yacht. It was our first time and our captain made sure we were taken care of. If you’re thinking about booking with Meridian, do it. You won’t be disappointed. Our 3 hours flew by. Don’t be like me, book that extra hour!
