We loved this tour! It's a way better option than the big boat tours, since you get personalized attention and the boat is fast and small. Captain Ken was super personable and knowledgeable! Tip: go in the morning when there are less boats on the water.

YES!!! The mornings are the best time, but Capt. Ken's mornings are now obligated to the new school season since he is a Maritime Science Instructor at a Chicago Charter School. Weekends are still open for morning tours,

Amazing experience with my three daughters and Captain Ken. Perfect mix of history, comedy, cruising and speed! We loved every minute of the tour and can't wait to do it again!

Hi Jon, thank you for the review. When the daughters are old enough perhaps Capt. Ken can teacher them how to operate a U.S. Naval Boat. We look forward to seeing you again

So much better than those big sight seeing boats! Captain Ken was super knowledgeable and his boat was the perfect way to see Chicago on the water! By far the best time I had while here. If you're looking for Chicago history on the water tour then you have to book this!

Thank you for the wonderful review. Chicago doesn't offer many small boat tours like this and we hope to see many more visitors who appreciate small business.
