The boat

Most people shop by size.
Experienced charter guests shop by comfort.

Cause & Affect is our 45’ Formula Super Sport — equipped with a rare stabilization system that dramatically reduces roll, even while anchored.

That means:
✔ Less rocking
✔ Less nausea
✔ More relaxing
✔ More fun

It’s the difference between “nice day” and “great day.”

Add in our Navy Pier departure, professional hosting, and fully prepared setup — and you get a charter that quietly outperforms boats twice its size.

This is luxury for people who know better.
