   Burnham Harbor, CAPTAIN/FUEL INCLUDED

   We had an unforgettable experience with Captain Joe and deckhand Ryan! They were incredibly accommodating and flexible, adjusting our itinerary to work around storms so we could still make the most of the day. Their professionalism and positive energy made the entire trip a blast—we were celebrating my 30th birthday, and it couldn’t have been better. The float tube was a huge hit and added so much fun to our time on the water. Highly recommend booking with them—would absolutely do it again!

   Diversey Harbor Gorgeous 46' Sea Ray Luxury Yacht

   This was an Amazing event. The 46 ft Sea Ray was everything and more. From the Bow to the Stern, five ***** accommodations. Touring on the Chicago Lake against the Chicago Skyline, the scenery was breathtaking, the food was on point, and the bottomless mimosas had us feeling like we were vacationing on the French Riviera. IF you're looking for more than a boat ride, but an experience, book it. As you can see from the photos, this was indeed the ultimate Surprise Birthday Celebration, with a vibe. THANKS to the Owner, Kevin, for making this possible, and to Captain Justin for holding strong to that steering wheel.

   We had an incredible experience with this boat rental! The service and communication were seamless from start to finish—everything was clear, timely, and super easy to coordinate. We were lucky to have Captain Jaydenn onboard with us, and he was absolutely amazing—professional, fun, and made sure we had a great time out on the water.

   Captain Tim was amazing! He was super communicative, fun, patient, and just a great captain overall. Everybody had a great experience on the boat and absolutely loved it! The boat itself was also gorgeous. We would definitely book with Captain Tim again.

   Zach was great and the bachelorette party we had good time on the water watching the fire works and listening to music. Definitely would do this again if I am back in Chicago.
