   Ultimate 52 " Yacht at Diversey Harbor –Perfect for PlayPen!

   We had an incredible experience with Jason, and his captain! We were chartering for a proposal and they were kind enough to upgrade us. The boat was beautiful, spacious, and made the day feel so special. Our captain was beyond amazing, fun, and knew exactly where to go for the perfect skyline backdrop. Everything was organized seamlessly from start to finish, with clear directions and details that made the whole process stress-free. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a first-class experience on the lake!

   I rented this boat for the weekend to propose to my girlfriend, with the stunning backdrop of the Navy Pier and Chicago skyline — and the entire experience was absolutely perfect. From the start, the process was seamless and professional. Mark was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. Communication was smooth throughout, and the boat itself was exactly as described — clean, well-maintained, and just like the listing photos. A special shout-out to our captain, Eduard, who went above and beyond to help with planning and flawlessly executing the proposal. He was not only professional and accommodating, but also a genuinely great person to spend time with. This experience exceeded all expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for a better setup for such a memorable moment.

   24 Passenger Captained Party & Event Boat in Chicago!

   We had a great time on our excursion. They let us pick where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do, and had everything we needed on the boat. The boat itself was clean and safe and had plenty of room for 16 of us to comfortably move around. Would definitely use them again.

   Our experience with Kevin and his boat was perfect. Our group had a wonderful day out on the lake and going up and down the river. Evan was a great Captain and would recommend him highly. Everything was exactly as advertised and we would definitely do it again!

   We rented a boat in Chicago yesterday for my sister’s bachelorette party, and overall had a great time! First off, Max was an amazing captain — very friendly, helpful, and professional. He made us feel comfortable and ensured we had a smooth ride. The boat itself was clean, spacious, and had a nice downstairs area with a bathroom. We loved being able to lounge on the Lilly pad raft and enjoy the sunshine on the lake! That said, we were disappointed by the lack of transparency with the charges. Before the trip, we were not informed that a 20% automatic tip ($400) would be added on top of the nearly $3,000 we paid, which already included a $300 “service charge.” We had assumed that service charge was the gratuity. We fully intended to tip Max ourselves after the trip, but instead felt blindsided by the pre-added gratuity. The communication from both Get My Boat and the boat company could have been much clearer, and we were never provided with a full contract to review ahead of time. While we had fun and appreciated Max’s service, the surprise charges left us feeling taken advantage of. Transparency is key, and I hope the company addresses this for future customers.

   We had a great time out with Captain Memo! He was very friendly and warm. We went out for a birthday. It was too chilly to get in the water but we were so comfortable on the boat enjoying the sun. When we’re back in town we’d love to go out on the water again with Captain Memo!
