My husband and I went on a trip with Captain Ken and Zac on Sunday 21st April and it was simply an exhilarating day. Ken was friendly, knowledgeable and made the trip so enjoyable. Originally we were only only able to do a trip down the river, however, Ken contacted me to let us know that we could also go on Lake Michigan, and we were so glad that we were able to.... the rib ride was brilliant, so fast and safe. Certainly the best way to enjoy the lake whilst seeing views of Chicago. If you do only one trip in Chicago, do this one with Captain Ken !

Captain Ken enjoyed your company and we are thrilled you were able to go on the lake too. Its always best to let the diesel engine stretch it's legs when we go on the lake.

With all of the choices for a River and Lake tour in Chicago, this is the best if you’re up for a cozy time on the River, and a blast of full throttle on the Lake. Well done and professional, but to be expected from a US military veteran-run business. We are happy to support fellow veterans, and Blackhawk is the best!
