Best experience ever! Ben and his team (John) were really kind, very hospitable and brought GREAT vibes. Highly recommend a booking with Ben! They both were very accommodating to our family and made every single person feel safe and at home. The boat itself is incredible, with a bathroom on board, blankets for the chilly nights, and a cooler for drinks! (they supplied water). Awesome experience for Navy Pier Fireworks too! If interested in swimming they offer a lily pad! Book with Ben! He rocks!

Captain Ben & his crew were AWESOME! They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The boat is VERY well kept and was perfect for our family. We will definitely book again next time we are in town!
