Everything with our rental was perfect. Nasco was very responsive with our booking and any questions we had. He also helped by providing several captain recommendations. The boat itself was perfect for our group of 12. We had plenty of room to sit, move around and the lily pad was great for those of us wanting to go into the water. We will definitly use this boat in the future and recommend it to anyone else looking for a Boat in Chicago!

Nasco was very communicative and reliable and even recommended a reliable and great list of captains to hire. The boat was clean and exactly as shown in the pictures and as described. We had a great time with the boat! Would definitely recommend to other friends.

I planned my friends bachelorette party weekend and rented a boat from Nasco to kick the weekend festivities off. It was super easy communicating with him regarding time, days and where to park. He helped me hire a captain because I’ve never rented a boat before. The boat is beautiful and very spacious! There were 11 of us and we had lots of room to move around and dance and overall have a really good time. I would definitely keep his info for future boat rentals.

Nasco is great. The yacht we booked had some mechanical issues, but he was able to upgrade us to a 50 ft yacht with no problems! Minor note--- the listing mentioned we would get complimentary bottles of water (so we didn't bring our own) but I assume we didn't get it because we had to switch boats suddenly. Other than that, everything was awesome and I would definitely book with Nasco and Captain Michael again!
Beth
We were very satisfied with our booking. The boat was exactly what we expected from the description listed. Nasco and the captain he recommended were quick to respond to all questions. Captain Michael was a great captain! We had a great experience and I would recommend booking with Nasco!
