We had Captain Larry for our charter and he was wonderful. The boat was super clean, beautiful, and had all the amenities we needed. The floats were perfect for our 11 person bachelorette party to hang out in for hours. Captain Larry was a safe captain and took great photos and videos for our group. I would highly recommend Captain Larry for your charter!

Book a charter with Captain Doug. From the moment we boarded, we knew we had made the right choice. The boat was spotless, the communication was clear, and Captain Charles kept us safe and entertained throughout the trip. We had endless laughs, a personal photographer, and even joined in on the fun when we couldn’t face it ourselves. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. Thank you, Captain Doug and the crew. Don’t miss out on this gem.

Why Book Me I love what I do with a passion that shows I have a knack for reading a group and adjusting for the vibe. I offer free sea sick patches that often save the day. I take a keepsake photo & print one out for everyone on charter for free - always a hit. I bring my own Insta360 for some great photo videos for your group for free! Just learning to fly my drone - happy to capture some unique videos. I bring plenty of portable phone batteries - so you are never untethered! I am arguably the most 5 star reviewed captain in Chicago - read the reviews. When I'm not driving, I'll juggle, clean up around you and refresh your drinks. I bring my own awesome floating saddles for fun in the water. I know the best fireworks locations in the harbor. I navigate the Chicago locks to get you in and out of the river.
