Troy

Troy was excellent in communicating with us at all times. Captain Laura was FANTASTIC! Very professional, yet personable and fun! Would definitely book again, what a great experience!

We rented out this "party pontoon" for a work event and had such a great time! The table was great for serving food as well as playing beer games. I would definitely consider renting this boat again for work or social events!

This was my second time booking with Troy and it has always been a blast! Very prompt communication and a really good time. Would highly recommend…can’t wait to book again next summer!

Amazing time, Troy was amazing with everything. Captain Mike & Kevin were very cool, helpful, and great overall. 10/10 recommended.

Such a fun time!! Thanks for making our time one to remember!

Communication and captain were great! The weather was a bit of a bummer the day we had the rental, but that was mother nature! I would recommend this boat and company.

This was the best way to celebrate a birthday with friends!! The crew members were AMAZING and it was so nice that they provided ice and coolers and a table with cups and balls for games. Highly recommend Troy and his crew!!

The boat was great! We easily fit 19 people. The captains were amazing - we had such a great day. Thanks again!!

We had SUCH a fantastic time with Charles and Matt. They made the process so simple and absolutely made the bride feel special! 10/10 recommend!

My experience was absolutely amazing! The communication from ownership was fantastic, and the captain and first mate were amazing and helpful. I would definitely recommend Tailgate the Lake and will be booking them again for future events!

We had the most amazing experience! Troy was great with communication and happily rescheduled for us when we the day we had scheduled got rained out. Our experience on the boat was amazing and the highlight of our trip! 100% would recommend.

We had an amazing day with Captain Mike and Nick! They took great care of us and had everything needed to have a great day on the lake! The boat was clean and spacious. I highly recommend!

My friends and I had the best time. The boat speakers get nice and loud, too

We had so much fun with Troy! Easy communication leading up to our booking and the perfect time out on the water.

Troy and Capt. Kevin were great. Kevin is knowledgeable and knows where to go on the water to make the experience enjoyable.

We had such a wonderful time. Jerry and nick went above and beyond.

Captain was nice, boat was fine. The acqua mats and innertubes that were included with this rental were disgusting. They looked like they hadn't been replaced in years. Not what I expected. I believe captain should consider updating equipment from time to time, as this took away from some of the enjoyment in the water for our group. Otherwise great day!

I had an awesome experience with the team at Boatsetter. The support on and leading up to the day was very helpful, and the captain and crew on the day of our boat were awesome and helped make the day super fun.

Had a phenomenal time out on the water with this crew! The boat had everything we needed. Would absolutely use them again!

My group of 24 had such a great time on the boat! Captain Mike and Matt were super hospitable and accommodated the ride to what we wanted to see/do. Would definitely ride with them again!

Our Company Outing was a great time on the Patoon Boat! Captain Charlie & Matt were awesome guys,…friendly, funny and professional (constant communication with me on what they’re doing/which location on the lake they’ll be traveling on our cruise).

It was our first time charting a boat with them and will do it again next year!
Until then…guys keep up the good work.
(See you next summer)

We had the best time - will definitely book again!

We had the best day with Kevin and Kevin! They took such great care of us and made sure we had the absolute best time out on the water (even when the weather didn't cooperate the entire time), we all made the best of it and had the greatest day ever! Thanks Kevin & Troy! It was seamless from start to finish!

We had a great time. Matt & Troy were great. Lots of fun and a great way to see Chicago in the rain.

Troy was AMAZING! So communicative and easygoing. My friends and I had the absolute best day. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Boat was a in great condition. Captain and crew were top notch. Will use for future Chicago trips.

Troy made booking so easy and he was so quick to respond and friendly! Our captain Laura and First mate Nick were so nice and so much fun!! They made for such an easy carefree day. I would book again and again!

Jerry and Kevin were great! We will book with them again.

Troy is an excellent communicator and very flexible and understanding. Captain Bre is awesome!

Troy was great with setting up the reservation and answering questions. Very easy communication. The captain and crew were top notch in boating and hospitality. The boat was stocked with everything my group needed for a great time. Very clean as well. Would highly recommend this boat/crew.

Had a great time for a bachelorette party! The boat had everything we needed. Plenty of room and cooler space for 20 people. Definitely recommend!

Our experience was wonderful! Troy was very helpful and communicative in arranging our trip and Jerry and Steve were and crew. We will definitely book again.

Awesome, thanks! Had a wonderful time and would do again.

Troy was super helpful getting all the time and instructions to you and very good at communicating to make you feel at ease with planning. This was my first time ever doing this and he made it so easy!

Laura and Debbie were awesome! So friendly, down to earth, and making sure everybody had a great time. Couldn’t have asked for better people!

Highly recommend them- great time!

Troy pushed our time back from what we agreed on at reservation 6 days before the trip but the trip itself was wonderful and I would go again. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful.

Captain Bree and First Mate Corey took great care of us and made it a really fun experience. Would totally book again!

They were really fun and we would definitely use them again on our next charter!

Troy was fantastic to work with pre-sailing. Our captain Bree, and first mate Corey, were so accommodating and great to sail with! We loved our experience!

We had the BEST time on Troy's boat! Jerry and Steve were our captains and they were 11/10. They were so nice and friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful. The entire experience went so smoothly and it was so pleasant and I couldn't recommend this enough.
