Ann and her crew did an awesome job getting us set up, and just provided an all around awesome experience. They really knew how to make you feel at home, took pictures for us, and were so accommodating! I would definitely recommend and book with them again! Captain Phil also did an excellent job making the experience awesome! 10/10

Bad Beaches Only is the ONLY way to go on Lake Michigan! My group of 12 enjoyed a sunset cruise with incredible views of the skyline and an up-close view of the fireworks. The Bad Beaches (as I like to call them) communicated really well with me prior to our trip. I'm not from Chicago, so they helped me choose our destination on the water and share what we wanted to see with Captain Phil (who was also amazing). The boat itself was really nice. We kept our things safe and dry in the cabin and we all fit comfortably in the seating available, since we didn't get in the water because it was nighttime. Thanks to the Bad Beaches Only team, we had a memorable experience on the water. Many people in my group said our cruise was their favorite thing we did on our trip! 12/10 would recommend Bad Beaches Only!

Honestly this is the only boat I ever need to rent. It’s clean, spacious, reasonable and the owner’s are top notch! They make the entire process easy from start to finish. You even get to use their floating lily pad for free. We had a great day on the water and can’t wait to rent from them again. They’ve got a regular customer in me!

Top notch customer service and experience. The boat was clean and well maintained. The captain was was friendly and knowledgeable, and I felt like I was in great hands. I was my first time being on a boat in a very long time and I would book again and refer my friends and family
