As a mother of two elementary aged daughters, I chose Captain Ken because he is an experienced/retired coast guard, teacher, and well reviewed guide for boat tours. He showed patience and compassion for one of my daughters who was nervous on the boat and allowed my other daughter a brief moment to drive the boat while we waited for the lock to become available for passage. I enjoyed his company and he was knowledgeable of Chicago’s lush history. Totally recommend and would reserve again in the future. Thank you!

My husband, and I quite sure what to expect with this tour, Captain Ken was amazing. He was extremely easy to communicate with as we were running a few minutes late. He was very knowledgeable and safe, and we had a blast, flying through the water around the large boats. We could go faster, we were able to see so much more. We went down the Chicago river, as well as all the way out to Soldier Field. I would definitely do this tour again and bring my kids. Thanks Captain Ken for a great experience!

This was such a great experience! Captain Ken was superb and was very informative. Way better experience than a large boat and we got to see so much! I would love to bring my kids back to do his tour again.

Great to hear you enjoyed the tour. Our company incorporates a little bit of everything from going fast on the lake to a leisurely stroll up and down the river.
