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!

Joe was incredible! I booked a 2 hour skyline cruise/swim time for my nephew's 8th birthday and Joe made us so comfortable. He answered all my questions about life jacket sizes and weather fluctations and adjusted our departure time to ensure we didn't get caught in a storm. Highly recommend!

Private Cruise onboard Hunter Legend Sailboat in Chicago
We had an amazing time sailing around Lake Michigan with Captain Mitch! The marina was super easy to locate/get to, the boat was the perfect size for our group of four, and we really enjoyed our time on the water. I would highly recommend booking a trip with 3rd Coast!

I booked this experience because Nijole had amazing reviews — and now I truly know why. She is talented, no-nonsense host who knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable when you're aboard. We could not have been more grateful or had a better time. Thank you, Nijole! A superstar.

40' Luxury Cruiser Yacht for Charter in Chicago
We had the best time surprising my cousin and their new fiance, right after their engagement! Our captain and deckhand were BEYOND helpful! They were all about helping me set up decorations for the surprise, putting together a playlist, on top of safety measures, and made sure our pictures were looking fabulous! Our experience on this boat was above and beyond what we expected and I 100% recommend in every aspect.
