I rented this boat for the weekend to propose to my girlfriend, with the stunning backdrop of the Navy Pier and Chicago skyline — and the entire experience was absolutely perfect. From the start, the process was seamless and professional. Mark was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. Communication was smooth throughout, and the boat itself was exactly as described — clean, well-maintained, and just like the listing photos. A special shout-out to our captain, Eduard, who went above and beyond to help with planning and flawlessly executing the proposal. He was not only professional and accommodating, but also a genuinely great person to spend time with. This experience exceeded all expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for a better setup for such a memorable moment.
