    Peter has the best boat in Chicago! Such great staff such great service. I highly recommend everyone use them and book with this company because they are reputable and so easy to work with! he keeps his boats clean and well kept and up-to-date. You also feel so safe with clear explanation and handling. I will be using them again.

    Highly recommend Peter's yacht. I booked it for a bachelor party. It lives up to the photos and it's even roomier than the photos suggest. Peter and our captain, Dean, we're highly professional and extremely kind and thoughtful of the needs of the entire group. Peter helped us haul everything to the boat before we took off and everything went extremely smoothly. Best bang for your buck I found on this platform ($/ft). Look no further if you have a group going out to lake Michigan!

    Peter was terrific to work with, and his boat is beautiful - lots of room for everyone to eat and enjoy the water and view. Captain Dean was great, too. Will def book again.

    Amazing boat! Clean, large, and stored at a great marina to spend time at before or after. Very professional and friendly owner. Captain Dean was our captain and made the experience really fun and safe for all. Highly recommend!

    Couldn't recommend Peter, his Captain Dean, and this boat more. This was a 10/10 experience. The boat was clean (even though it came back from another charter 30 minutes before), comfortable inside and out, large bathroom, great sound system, large lily pad, and the full-size fridge was great for storage. I look forward to booking this boat again and recommend that you do too!
