The 300 Sundancer offers good space both inside and out for cruising the city or lounging in the playpen. An ultra leather double helm bench seat makes cruising comfortable and the lower cockpit area can easily be turned into a large sun pad with filler cushions...great for sun lovers. Down below the cabin offers a good flow and plenty of light. An ultra leather lounge is located directly across from the galley. The boat features two refrigerators, one in the cabin and one on deck. An extra large swim platform provides even more space to play. 

The boat is commercially licensed by the City of Chicago and State of Illinois and our captain is U.S. Coast Guard Licensed (MMC 25 ton). U.S. Coast Guard regulations limit us to 6 paying passengers. This is the same certification for most pleasure boat captains and they should abide by the same restrictions.  Please beware of illegal boat charters in Chicago.  Safety is our first priority aboard the SeaVibes.
