Spacious 35' Sea Ray SLX Motor Yacht Charter in Chicago
Grace was incredibly responsive and answered all my questions throughout the entire booking process. I thoroughly enjoyed my time aboard! Unfortunately, the water pump broke before our ride, leaving us without running water. However, assuming it’s repaired promptly, I highly recommend booking with Grace!

Captained Charter this 36' C & C Cruising Monohull in Chicago, Illinois
Nijole was a wonderful captain with great communication and flexibility. The change in plans due to weather was seamless. We had a great time on the lake with Nijole, Remus and Piper and will chose her again if we are back in Chicago and want to go out for a sail. Thanks again Nijole!

Sunseeker 70' Exclusive Motor Yacht - Perfect for Private Events in Chicago
This was our second time booking and it was another awesome experience. Everything was seamless from start to finish and the boat was perfect for our group. Jack and Damien were both great to work with and helped make the day a lot of fun. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future

We had such an amazing time! The boat was beautiful and exactly as pictured. We also did the river cruise and it was so beautiful. The captain and owner were very professional and organized. We will definitely be booking this boat again and highly recommended it

Captained Boat: A perfect blend of comfort & adventure aboard Sea Ray Sundancer
We had a great time on our trip with Diego! He had a great route planned for us to see the river and stop by the playpen and see the city from the lake. He was a great communicator before the trip. He let us know all the details we needed ahead of time to have a smooth trip. We all had a wonderful time!! Highly recommend!!

20 Passenger Captained Boat - $400 off Fridays and Sunday Fundays!
We booked with Troy for an outing of 20 people and everyone had such a great time! Communication was very easy prior to the trip, having a captain included was huge, they have tables set up for games and food, a speaker system, floaties for the water, and the crew was very helpful! The views were also amazing! Would definitely recommend and would do again
