This is an experience and Ken, the owner and Captain, killed it.
My wife and I traveled to Chicago without kids for the first time in 20 years and wanted to do some different things than before. We had done the big boat tours and other touristy stuff, which were fine with kids 15 and under, so we didn’t want that. Not to mention that we wanted a more personal, small group experience. We had that with this tour!
Ken picked us up and from the get-go was full of interesting information about all things Chicago and Lake Michigan. We hauled ass in his rigid inflatable to start about a mile into Lake Michigan to the Dever Crib and Lighthouse for some history and an incredible view of the city from the water. It only got better from there!
We’ve done some really fun things in the city, but likely wouldn’t do those again, but this boat tour we would (and likely will) do it again and bring our adult children or friends to experience.
Since I can only give him 5 stars out of 5, I guess I’ll settle on that, but would give him more if I could.
