New 48ft Sport Coupe Chicago River & Lake Charter
We had an absolutely unforgettable boating experience. Adnan's larger boat was amazing, very spacious and it provided plenty of room to relax. We have amazing pictures to cherish from our time on board. Our captain was fantastic as well. We enjoyed his company. Additionally, the owner was incredibly accommodating when we had a change in plans, making the experience even smoother. We can't wait to book another outing—highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable day on the water!

New 48ft Sport Coupe Chicago River & Lake Charter
I can’t recommend these guys enough. From the moment we pulled up to the boat to the time got off, we were taken care of with 5 star service. I am particularly impressed with how they cared for my 3 children as they ran around the boat and ignored all the rules lol I sincerely appreciate the patience! We cruised from the Chicago yacht club down the Chicago river. We stopped at pizzeria portofinos for dinner and ate on the boat. It was an awesome experience. I can’t wait to book with Adnan and his crew again!!!! Next time with friends and no kids!

Private Tours on 27' Baja Boss Speedboat in Chicago with Captain Bob
Captain Bob was friendly, professional, and made sure my husband and I had the best time. We enjoyed seeing the spectacular Chicago Skyline and Navy Pier Fireworks from a prime spot on the lake. Captain Bob’s experience also made us feel at ease, especially being on the lake at night. Highly recommend Captain Bob!

Private Tours on 27' Baja Boss Speedboat in Chicago with Captain Bob
Had an amazing day on the water during the Air and Boat Show with Captain Bob as our guide. He's helpful in giving instructions to the dock, helps set up music and ensures a comfortable and safe experience. Due to his background in the CFD, he knew exactly where to anchor the boat so we could see great views of the air show. It was a worthwhile and memorable experience to share with friends and family!

Private Tours on 27' Baja Boss Speedboat in Chicago with Captain Bob
I can’t understate how incredible Captain Bob is at what he does. He’s not only Incredibly knowledgeable but strives to make memorable moments during his trips. We booked a 2 hour boat ride, 1 hour speed boat and another hour sunset tour. Captain Bob set us up for multiple mini photo shoots with the perfect backdrops and took the pictures himself. An incredible value for the cost. He made my birthday extremely special. Thank you Captain Bob!!

Private Tours on 27' Baja Boss Speedboat in Chicago with Captain Bob
Captain Bob is the GOAT! We love him! He was so accommodating and so much fun. He took us out on the lake and gave us a sight seeing tour. My guests from out of town had so much fun being on lake. He took us to see the Chicago lighthouse, Navy Pier, Planetarium, and Play Pen. Would definitely recommend!!
