Diversey Harbor Gorgeous 46' Sea Ray Luxury Yacht
I had some friends visiting Chicago and wanted to impress them. Renting a boat from Kevin was the crown jewel of the weekend! Our captain Evan was very professional, accommodating and friendly. The boat exceeded expectation. Would definitely book with them again!

Cruise on the New & Luxurious 2024 Chaparral 30' Yacht!!!
Frank was an incredible host for this boat- such a beautiful boat with a luxurious feel. He was very accommodating, communicative, and he just exuded kindness and honesty- the kind of person you'd feel comfortable paying this much money to! He even brought a trolley to help carry our coolers. They also had coolers on the boat- which was so helpful and unexpected. We had such a great time on the boat. HIGHLY recommend.

Cpt included. A perfect blend of comfort and adventure aboard Sea Ray Sundancer.
Diego was a great host. The boat was really clean and well maintained. He followed all the rules and was attentive to us, the surroundings, the other boats the whole time. He wasn't distracted and on his phone like several other captains we have been with. He anchored the boat where we asked and it made for our best air and water show experience (of many years). Highly recommend.

We had am amazing time at the Air & Water show. Communication with Kadir was prompt and accurate. The Captain Emir was a super star, I would definitely recommend them. The boat is as pictured perfect for a party of 10. The whole process from start to finish was seamless.

Fantastic day on the water! The entire process was so smooth and easy to get ready for the rental. Finding a captain was easy and Hayden was phenomenal! He was very clear with what we needed and safety in/around the boat. Will definitely be booking again in the future

How long do boat tours typically last?
Boat tours usually range from 1 to 4 hours. Some half-day and full-day tours are available, depending on the location and type of experience offered.
What kinds of boat tours are available?
Popular types include sightseeing cruises, sunset sails, wildlife viewing tours, snorkeling trips, food and wine cruises, historical tours, and private custom charters.
How much do boat tours cost?
Prices vary by location, tour length, and whether it's a group or private tour. Expect to pay around $25–$100 per person for group tours, while private boat tours typically range from $250 to $800+ depending on the vessel and duration.
Are boat tours kid-friendly?
Yes, many boat tours are great for families. Some even include kid-focused commentary, wildlife spotting, or calm waters for safe cruising. Be sure to check the age policy and safety info before booking.
Do I need to book in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, especially during weekends and peak travel seasons. Last-minute spots may be available, but popular tours often fill up quickly.
Can I bring food or drinks on a boat tour?
Some tours provide refreshments or allow you to bring your own. Others may have restrictions. Always check with the tour operator ahead of time.
What should I wear on a boat tour?
Dress for the weather and bring sun protection. Light clothing, sunglasses, a hat, and non-slip shoes are ideal. For sunset or evening cruises, consider a light jacket.
Will I get seasick on a boat tour?
Most boat tours operate in calm, inland, or sheltered waters where seasickness is unlikely. If you’re prone to motion sickness, you may want to take precautions like ginger candy or anti-nausea medication beforehand.
Are private boat tours available?
Yes, many destinations offer private boat tours where you can customize the experience, route, and duration. These are ideal for couples, families, or small groups looking for a more personal outing.
What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?
If weather conditions are unsafe, tours are typically rescheduled or refunded. Light rain may not cancel a tour, but heavy winds or storms usually will. Check the operator's weather and cancellation policy in advance.
