We rented this boat for my sister’s bachelorette party and had the absolute best time! Captain Mike took us out to the play pen, and we got in the water and had a great time! Would definitely recommend for a bigger group. Will definitely do this again in the future!

We had such a great time with Captain Steve! He made everything so easy by communicating exactly where we should get dropped off, how to get our food and drinks to the boat easily and took us on an awesome city river tour. They made up for the fact that we weren’t able to anchor due to the wind and rough waves. 10/10 would book again!

Rented a night charter for July 4 with Captain Steve. Had an amazing time with friends! Captain Steve was a pleasure to work with and attended to all of our needs. The float pad and water toys were fun to have. Though Navy Pier no longer displayed fireworks for Independence Day, Captain Steve made sure we were able to view multiple shows from a distance. We will definitely book this charter again for future events!
It was an amazing experience! The yacht was perfect— the lily pad, space, accommodations, etc. And captain Steve was so fun and kind. My guests and I had such a great time. We plan to do it all again!! Definitely worth the 1 hr extension for the golden hour/sunset!!
Michael was amazing. Booking the boat was quick and efficient. He kept open contact to make sure we knew the requirements about the boat. The boat itself was beautiful and spacious, with a great speaker. Michael even brought in ice for us for our drinks. So fun!! Would book again 100%!!
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!
