Lisa and Chris were awesome to spend the day with on their boat. The Sea Ray is perfect, and they could not have been more hospitable. We are going to make this an annual trip.

I booked Christopher’s boat for myself and 4 other friends to celebrate mine and a friend’s birthdays. Christopher and his wife were wonderful hosts aboard their beautiful boat! Very clean and beautiful boat! He has over 30 years of experience boating in Lake Michigan and so I felt very safe on his boat. Overall, it was a fantastic experience! We all had a great time! Perfect way to close out the summer.

Unforgettable Day Charter Experience!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our day charter with Chris and his wife. They were delightful hosts—warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable—which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
Our tour took us along the iconic Chicago River and out onto the stunning coastline of Lake Michigan, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline. Whether you're a local or visiting the city, I can't recommend this charter enough. A perfect day! - DerekDerek
