Captain Brian was so helpful when some of our group experienced sea sickness. He was super fun to be around and made the trip so great!

My friends and I have chartered a few boats here in Chicago, but this was by far the best experience we have had. We actually had to reschedule our initial cruise last minute due to bad weather. The boat owner, Russel, was very communicative and made the best of the not-so-great situation. He graciously offered to allow for our group to enjoy the boat for a lesser amount of time and stay at the dock. We were also able to reschedule for the following week and go out with Captain Brian at that time. Our group had such an amazing time during both sessions. We certainly had some strong personalities in the bunch (myself included) and Captain Brian was such a great sport. He was very professional but also blended in so well with our group that he was like another guest. We will without a doubt be reaching out to Russel & Captain Brian again for future events. Thank you both for making this such an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.

We had such a great time. The boat was better in person, and Captain Brian was awesome. I highly recommend him and 1st Class Charters (Chicago). Definitely worth it all around.
