Great Experience! - 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!

High Speed Fun!!! - 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!
