Diversey Harbor 46 ft Luxury Yacht Perfect Play Pen Boat
Jason and Justin did a great job communicating and coordinating our trip. We did 3 hours and then the rain affected our time so we added another hour. Justin was a fun captain and helped us have the best time possible. We definitely recommend renting Jason’s yacht and having Justin as your captain. Will be back for the next season of boating!

Diversey Harbor Gorgeous 46' Sea Ray Luxury Yacht
Had an incredible time out on Kevin’s boat. We had Captain Justin and I couldn’t recommend him enough. We were celebrating a bachelor party and this was the highlight of the weekend!

Diversey Harbor 36' Sea Ray Floating Oasis for your Unforgettable Celebrations!!
I had an amazing time! I booked on rather short notice and Kevin came through for me especially with helping to find a captain for such a busy day. The entire process was smooth and Captain Lisa was great! I’d definitely book with him again in the future.

Luxury 31ft Bayliner 3055 Ciera for your Playpen Party
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing this boat trip with Captain Z and I can't say enough about how wonderful it was! From start to finish, Captain Z was an exceptional host, making sure every detail was taken care of. The boat itself equipped with everything we needed for a perfect day on water. They were friendly, attentive, and made everyone on board feel welcome and comfortable. We had so much fun exploring the beautiful scenery, enjoying the water and relaxing on the deck. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable boat trip.
