50' Multi-level Luxury Yacht with Party up to 12
Captain Jim and his team went above and beyond to make our charter an unforgettable experience. From the moment we departed to the smooth arrival back at the dock, everything was handled with professionalism, confidence, and a warm, friendly attitude. The boat was immaculate, the ride was smooth, and Captain Jim clearly knew the waters like the back of their hand. They made us feel safe, relaxed, and completely taken care of the entire time. Whether it was pointing out interesting sights, adjusting course for the best views, or making sure we had everything we needed on board, their attention to detail was exceptional. You can tell they truly love what they do—and it shows in the way they connect with guests and manage every aspect of the trip seamlessly. I highly recommend Captain Jim and his team, to anyone looking for a top-tier charter experience. Thank you again for an incredible day on the water!

51ft Sea Ray Sundancer Yacht at Diversey Harbor!
Can’t speak highly enough about the professionalism. The captain prioritized our safety, communicated clearly, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. It was my first time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — truly 10/10 across the board. Grateful and impressed! He also made us feel completely at home and comfortable throughout the entire trip. I’ll definitely be booking with him every time. The boat was exactly as advertised — clean, spacious, and just what we were looking for. Highly recommend!
