   MasterCraft XT-25 Smith Mountain Lake for Water Sports Enthusiasts!!!

   This is the best value for the boat you can get on SML. The boat was perfect for water sports (wake surfing and wakeboarding) and is stored up at the best location on the lake. Josh was great to works with. We highly recommend and will be using them again in the future.

   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.

   50' Sea Ray Sundancer -12 Passengers in Chicago, Illinois

   This could not have been a better experience booking with Captain Carlos! We had a group of 20 girls for a bachelorette and booked two of his boats to take out and tie up together. His team was professional and ensured we had an amazing time. The boats we rented were clean, spacious, and had awesome speaker systems. Definitely the highlight of our weekend!

   50' Sea Ray Sundancer -12 Passengers in Chicago, Illinois

   I would highly recommend booking with Captain Carlos. He made the experience stress-free by being great about communicating. The boat is absolutely beautiful and had more than enough room to accommodate all 11 of us. We hired Captain Moni as the driver of the boat and he brought along Lala as a deckhand. Both were SO sweet, personable and made the whole experience that much better. I would recommend this team to anyone booking a boat in Chicago.

   50' Sea Ray Sundancer -12 Passengers in Chicago, Illinois

   Captain Carlos and his team were absolutely wonderful! Captain Mike cancelled on us 2 weeks out (and never bothered to text us and let us know) so we ended up scambling 5 days before our event without a captain. Captain Carlos and his team went above and beyond to make sure we didn't need to cancel our event, and ensured we had a fabulous time!

   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!
