Captain Ken is a Rock Star! Weather was perfect, boat was perfect, and he could not have been nicer. If I'm ever in Chicago in the future, I would definitely do this tour again. 👍

WOAH!!!! a rock star, a microphone is not needed for this tour. Chicago can hear Capt. Ken's voice on the Chicago River as it bellows through the valley architecture.

We loved this tour! We loved being able to ride out on the lake and also see the Chicago River. The small group made it much more personal, and we loved the speed of a smaller boat as compared to most tours. Highly Recommend!

The speed is what makes it unique among other tours in Chicago. There are some boat tours that are just slow and there are others on the lake that are just fast. We like to incorporate both aspects of speed and leisure on your tour.

This tour was SO MUCH FUN!!! Captain Ken was great! My wife and I were the only ones on our tour, and the speed of the boat made the trip so much fun and so exciting! It also enabled us to cover so much more of Chicago's waterfront than the big cruise boats, including an up-close-and-personal view of the locks that you cross over to transition from Lake Michigan to the river. You'll get bounced around a bit, but that's what makes it so damn much fun... Word to the wise, if you're wearing a hat when you get on the boat, stow it before you get up to speed!

The Chicago Locks are a very neat experience and Capt. Ken is a pro when it comes to hat recovery. He hasn't lost a hat in very long time.
