   I cannot say enough good things about Bad Beaches Only! Planning a bachelorette party can be chaotic, but this company made everything SO easy. Their communication was top-tier, and they were always quick to respond to my questions. The day of the boat charter, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and ready to have the best time. A huge shout-out to our captain, Mike, who was truly fantastic and the perfect guide for our adventure. This women-owned business is truly exceptional, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and professional charter experience.

   Ann and her crew did an awesome job getting us set up, and just provided an all around awesome experience. They really knew how to make you feel at home, took pictures for us, and were so accommodating! I would definitely recommend and book with them again! Captain Phil also did an excellent job making the experience awesome! 10/10

   Bad Beaches Only is the ONLY way to go on Lake Michigan! My group of 12 enjoyed a sunset cruise with incredible views of the skyline and an up-close view of the fireworks. The Bad Beaches (as I like to call them) communicated really well with me prior to our trip. I'm not from Chicago, so they helped me choose our destination on the water and share what we wanted to see with Captain Phil (who was also amazing). The boat itself was really nice. We kept our things safe and dry in the cabin and we all fit comfortably in the seating available, since we didn't get in the water because it was nighttime. Thanks to the Bad Beaches Only team, we had a memorable experience on the water. Many people in my group said our cruise was their favorite thing we did on our trip! 12/10 would recommend Bad Beaches Only!

   Honestly this is the only boat I ever need to rent. It’s clean, spacious, reasonable and the owner’s are top notch! They make the entire process easy from start to finish. You even get to use their floating lily pad for free. We had a great day on the water and can’t wait to rent from them again. They’ve got a regular customer in me!
