Sea Ray Cuddy Cabin Boat for Rent on Lake Michigan!
My husband and I reserved an afternoon on the water with Tamer for our anniversary, and it did not disappoint. As our captain and the owner of the boat, Tamer was the perfect balance of being laid-back and easy-going yet attentive. He was super communicative from the get-go, and his primary concern was making sure we enjoyed our ride while also keeping us safe. Though we brought our own drinks and snacks, he also stocked a complimentary selection of his own that he made available to us, and he even allowed us to bring our two small dogs aboard for the day who both enjoyed being out on the water. We cruised the entire Chicago River through the downtown and out into Lake Michigan, and never once did he make us feel like we were being kept to a time or schedule. In fact, we spent probably an extra hour riding around. Between all that, the boat itself (which was kept clean, in great condition and perfect for a small group), etc., it was an awesome way to celebrate our day and we'd happily book again with Tamer.

Memo is absolutely amazing! Please believe every great review left. He gives outstanding instructions as to where and how to find his boat. He had a cooler, floats, a large speaker- essentially everything we needed. My friends and I had a great time and will be back!

Charter this beautiful Catalina from Milwaukee, WI - Captain Included
Patrik did an exceptional job in our planning and implementation of our trip. Our need was to release ashes into the lake and I was very pleased with how the day went. He was cordial and hospitable. I would definitely recommend Patrik for a sailing trip. Thank you!

Bennington Pontoon for Rent in Two Rivers, Wisconsin
What a fantastic experience! The boat was perfect, very clean, and just the right size for seven of us. We went up each of the two rivers on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and most of the time we were the only boat on the water. It’s a beautiful, peaceful area. The boat owners are very accommodating and helpful. I would 100% do this again.
