What’s more, is that you have a Captain that is skilled, personable, and has your full enjoyment at the epicenter of your outing, while never compromising your safety.

An afternoon of frolic at the Playpen? If so, don’t hesitate to contact me to create your personalized boat charter that is nothing less than perfect. Carver Mariner 350 Yacht, that features a design that was meant to entertain numerous guests comfortably. Enter through the aft access door onto what I refer to as the back-porch, because its so large that 4 folding chairs can fit easily! Features wide staircases on both the port and starboard sides. Once on the fly bridge, you will have access to a plethora of seating where you can sit comfortably. Walk along the wide catwalks to the bow, which features a love seat for 3... or enjoy its conversion to a comfortable sun-pad where you can soak up the warm sun rays. Located on the fly bridge are a sink, ice maker, and music control panel connected to speakers throughout the boat. We are NOT a bareboat charter....NO MORE THAN 6 PASSENGERS ARE ALLOWED, ASIDE FROM CAPTAIN AND CREW. WHY PAY ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR A PERSONAL CAPTAIN? Save your money and book with Captain Kevin aboard my vessel, because I am included in your pricing 😍 The vessel is Captained by a United States Coast Guard Certified Merchant Maritime Captain for up to 6 passengers plus Captain and Crew. Unfortunately higher gas prices effects boats even more. Fuel is necessary to propel tons of weight by way of 2 engines, so it's necessary to charge a flat fee of $175 FOR GAS PAID BEFORE LEAVING THE DOCK directly to captain DAY RATES *CAPTAIN ALWAYS INCLUDED AT NO CHARGE/ GRATUITIES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME* - MONDAY-FRIDAY (2 hour minimum) - SATURDAY-SUNDAY (3 hour minimum) - Enhanced Pricing for Special Events & Holidays 2 Hours: $650 3 Hours: $1110 4 Hours: $1560 5 Hours: $1875 6 Hours: $2100 -RENTAL OF 4 PERSON FLOATY IS AN ADDITIONAL $75 PAYABLE UPON BOARDING BEFORE LEAVING THE DOCK paid directly to the captain Events we are perfect for: • Bachelorette or Bachelor Parties • Birthday Parties • Corporate events & outings • Playpen fun day • Chicago Air & Water Show • 4th of July & all holidays CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL TOUR WITH A LECTURED HISTORICAL NARRATION REQUIRES MUCH MORE EFFORT AND TIME TO NAVIGATE THE CHICAGO LOCKS TO AND FRO. THEREFORE A PREMIUM FEE IS REQUIRED AND CAN BE DISCUSSED.

Captain Kevin was absolutely wonderful! He is friendly, professional, and very responsive. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary and Captain Kevin was well-prepared to take us out on beautiful Lake Michigan! The vessel is well-maintained, clean, and beautiful! Loved laying out on the pad at the front! My one recommendation is def book with Captain Kevin and def add at least another hour to time you think you want to do. We did 3 hours and wished we had done longer. It goes by fast! Loved every minute! Thank you Captain Kevin! We hope to be back again sooner than later! :)

Captain Kevin was awesome! So friendly and accommodating. Cruising along the river was one of the highlights of our Chicago trip. The vessel was clean and perfect for our family. He even let our 7 year old get a few pics at the wheel. Would definitely recommend!

Great experience! Kevin was so kind and knowledgable, and incredibly accomodating. Unfortunately, the weather on the day we embarked was not the best - but the captain still helped us make the most of it!
