Why should you book with us? We are the most experienced boat rental company in Chicago - Check out our SUPEROWNER profile to see that we have done over 900 rentals through the GetMyBoat platform alone! Our boats are professionally cleaned between all rentals (this service is included in the rate) All boats are highly equipped for rental - multi-zone bluetooth sounds system, sun pads, swim platform, high-capacity coolers, full bathroom CAPTAIN: This is a recreational vessel so you will need to hire a captain directly. We provide a pre-approved Captain contact list, but you have your choice of who to hire. We recommend budgeting $100 per hour plus gratuity. You may hire a different qualified captain through our owner-approval process. FUEL: Fuel to the playpen is included. A river cruise must be coordinated in advance with owner and will require a fuel fee. WHAT TO EXPECT: A custom extended swim platform and recently upgraded sound system with lights makes this boat stand out. With bluetooth audio, sun pads, and a bathroom, you'll have everything you need for a boat party. We have two of these boats that can be rented together for larger groups up to 24. Bring your own food and drinks. WEATHER: If you are unable to use the boat due to dangerous weather conditions or heavy sustained rain, (actually happening at time of rental, not based on forecast conditions) you can elect to either reschedule at no charge or to receive a 75% refund of the boat rental rate. LOCATION: We are docked at 31st street harbor which is about a 10 minute taxi from downtown. There is paid parking available nearby.

Chris was great throughout the entire booking process ensuring that all my questions were answered and the boat was beautiful. We hired Captain Kelly and it was a wonderful time!! We had a smooth night cruise and got the perfect view of the fireworks show. Highly recommend!

We had so so so much fun! In the days leading up to our departure the weather was looking potentially pretty dicey, but between Chris, Captain Dan, and myself we were able to come up with a plan that kept everyone safe and our party on schedule. Luckily, the skies ended up staying clear for the duration of our trip, but having that backup plan was really reassuring. Speaking of Captain Dan - he was a blast!! Highly recommend hiring him. We maxed the capacity for this vessel with 12 guests and the space was perfectly comfortable for all of us. All in all, couldn't have asked for a better experience :)

Big Blue was amazingly spacious for my group of 12 and the sound system was excellent! Perfect way to celebrate a birthday on the water! Highly recommend Dan Chavez as captain, he was attentive and respectful. Altogether, Chris (and Dan) helped create a wonderful experience for all of us.

We rented from Chris and I can definitely say we will be renting again! Communication was fast and easy. The whole process was seamless. Chris is fabulous and so was our Captain Cortney. Can’t say enough great things about our experience.

We had a great time on our boat ride! Dan Chavez was our captain and he was very nice and professional. Everything was clean and there was ample space for 11 adults. We would definitely book again!
