We had an amazing time! The captain and assistant was fantastic and took care of all our needs. From start to finish, everything was perfect! Highly recommend.

Had a great time with Captain Al & Monica. Charter before us was running behind, and I appreciate being allowed the time we contracted for. Everyone enjoyed themselves and left in great spirits. The city backdrop was breathtaking, and the fireworks were the finale. I would definitely rebook again.

Mike helped me pull off the ultimate surprise for my parents for Father’s Day! Extremely responsive and great communication throughout my entire rental inquiry. I had many last minute requests that they took care of immediately! Can’t recommend Nick/Mike enough! Captain Al & Wendy were also THE best during our ride. They handled everything including cleanup and making our ride as smooth & enjoyable as possible! Super chill and laidback but extremely knowledgeable and reliable captain! Can’t wait for more rides this summer!
A wonderful experience, absolutely loved every bit of it. Michael made himself available whenever I reached out to him with my concerns. Had a great time with Captain Al. Superb, would definitely reach out to Michael again when I am back in Chicago!!!

This was my 3rd or 4th time renting with Mike and he exceeds my expectations every time!! Communication was seamless, the yacht was sanitized/cleaned, and overall Mike was the shit! I will continue to book with him in the future as he and Stacey made our guests completely comfortable ? Thank you for a good time Mike and Stacey 🥰
I am excited to be a part of the GetMyBoat movement in making boats more accessible and affordable to others. I hope to get out on the water more and help boating grow!
