Super impressed with how fun the retro boat ride was! We did a private ride so no captain but it was so amazing and made the experience much more intimate. They allow food and drinks which is very convenient while taking in the beautiful scenery of the buildings. The Chicago Boat Company was very helpful and gave all the necessary information regarding driving the boat. Would definitely go back to book another ride with this company!

This was my third year doing a tour with Chicago Boat Company and I highly recommend. My whole crew had such a good experience with Monica and Michael! We had a big group, and they handled everything so well. Monica was an amazing captain, super organized and safe while also keeping the whole group energized and having fun - those can be hard to balance 😊 Michael was wonderful as well, helped instruct everyone around the boat and made the experience so easy. Can’t wait for our next boat outing!

We had a GREAT time on a bachelorette party with Monica and our awesome co-captain! The pedal boat was such a fun experience and a fun changeup from the other options on the river. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

We had the greatest time on our party barge! Our captain (Paris) was a highlight of the trip, she not only welcomed us in the best way possible she helped to make sure our Bachelorette party had a great experience. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for an easy 2 hour experience enjoying the beautiful Chicago River.

I recently celebrated a friend's birthday aboard a boat with Chicago Boat Company, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. A special thank you to Monica and Catherine, who truly went above and beyond throughout the event. Their positive energy, friendly personalities, and willingness to help made the entire day feel effortless and enjoyable. They kept everything running smoothly, prioritized safety, and were always available to assist guests with a smile. It was clear how much work they were putting in to ensure everyone had a great time, and their professionalism and attentiveness did not go unnoticed. After this experience, I would not hesitate to book an event with Chicago Boat Company myself. I highly recommend Monica and Catherine to anyone considering a charter—they were a huge part of what made the day so seamless, safe, and memorable.
