Thank you Jessica for the review. Don't forget to look for Captain Ken on the river next time you come to Chicago. Hopefully over time we will have more boats to make it a more memorable experience for family and friends in the future.

Great experience. Captain Ken is great and I would highly recommend! I have been on other Chicago tours while visiting in the past, but this was by far the best for so many reasons. Much more than expected! I plan to return and bring others along on next visit.

Captain Ken is friendly, highly experienced, and knowledgeable about Chicago architecture, history and waterways. I learned so much during this trip and enjoyed the tour very much. We got to see areas of the river not usually on those large boat tours. This is a very good trip if you like taking pictures of the city. The whole experience was incredibly fun and going fast while skimming across the water out on the lake was awesome! This was a great time out on the lake and river seeing Chicago from a different perspective. I highly recommend this tour because of the highly experienced captain and uniqueness of the boat and overall experience. This isn't your typical river cruise!

Thank you Michael for the wonderful review. Our goal is to provide the best experience on the Chicago waterways. This ex-Navy RHI is an extremely seaworthy vessel and can handle quite well which provides a more comfortable ride. We look forward to seeing you again.
