Wellcraft Eclipse 233 Cuddy Cabin in Chicago, Illinois
Ariel was very professional and communicative with us throughout the entire experience. He made us feel safe and the ride to the pen was fun and smooth. He let us do our own thing in the pen and also vibed well with the group. I will definitely be booking with Ariel again when the time arises.

Wellcraft Eclipse 233 Cuddy Cabin in Chicago, Illinois
Ariel is the man! My friends & I had a great time with him. Very considerate, clean boat. He got into an accident a few days before, but was able to borrow a friend’s boat to keep our reservation. Made us all feel very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

50' Multi-level Luxury Yacht with Party up to 12
After previously dealing with an unresponsive host for another listing, Edward & Team made the experience a 10/10 for us with how promptly they were able to accommodate and communicate. Communication was excellent, Captain Jim was amazing, and the boat was absolutely stunning. We had such an amazing time, and will definitely be renting this boat again in the future.

Will definitely be booking again! I celebrated my 24th birthday with some friends and it was an amazing experience. The owner responded quickly and answered ALL questions. The price was great for 4 hours on a BEAUTIFUL day and the Debonair was exactly as pictured! Captain Jim was amazing! We enjoyed talking and learning from him! Do not hesitate to book!!
