Highlights

Includes Captain
1-6 People

Welcome:

First and foremost, I invite you to see our pictures to get a look & feel of our experiences, and great memories we've had with guests out on Lake Michigan!

We run a "smooth ship" as they say, aboard our clean & spacious 30 foot SeaRay Sundancer. It also comes with ice filled coolers, rafts for swimming, a fantastic blue-tooth sound system & an experienced, safe & fun licensed captain.

As you can see in our pics, we take our guests out for every occasion imaginable, and as you plan your day, here are a few ideas that are always in high demand:

1. Playpen - we head out for both day and night events. ***We have 6 person and 8 person rafts, nerf footballs, and various flotation items on board for the playpen.....

2. Experience the Chicago River! We head through the locks, sit back, relax and enjoy a nice slow cruise down the river. The whole experience is one to capture with pics & video, so get your cameras out, and enjoy the architecture! The river is amazing at any hour of the morning, afternoon, or evening. (We can also make dinner reservations ahead of time at a restaurant of choice on the river.......)

3. Fireworks on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Always a crowd favorite and rightly so. I usually wiggle our way right up to the front row, so the fireworks are booming right out in front of our boat. See pics.....

4. Take friends, family, colleagues, clients out for a special event. A few of the norm:
- Birthday party
- Engagement party
- Anniversaries
- Bachelorette Parties
- Bachelor Parties
- Client Outing/Team Building
- Family celebrations/events

5. Concerts: More and more shows are coming to Northerly Island, and we are having fun with it! We can head out on the lake, anchor down outside the venue, listen to a concert out on the lake over a few cold beverages, with the Chicago skyline as our backdrop for the evening. If you have tickets and are going into the show, we can also swim for a few hours in the playpen, and I can drop guests off at Burnham Harbor for easy gate access to concerts at both Soldier Field and Northerly Island.

6. Chicago Scene - this is an epic playpen, full day party.

7. Chicago Air Show (Friday sold out)

8. Bears game tailgate on the lake, and drop off at Burnham Harbor for easy access to Soldier Field

9. Casino cruise down to Hammond

About Your Captain:
In a word, fun! I literally take guests out for every type of event, and see to it that everyone has a safe, fun, and memorable day/evening on the lake!

House cleaning:
I have a US Coast Guard masters captains license
My vessel is registered, inspected and approved by the US Coast Guard & IDNR every season, and all paperwork is kept on board. Charter level insurance, safety equipment, and all paperwork are kept on-board the vessel.

Description

Boat Layout:
A spacious 30 feet long and 10 feet wide, with comfortable seating and plenty of room both in the back area and also on the bow to hang out or lay out. There are also tables for dining both inside the cabin and outside in the back of the boat, and has a full washroom/bathroom. She features a roll-back bemini top so we can provide guests with more or less shade when needed, so everyone is always comfortable.

Boat Tunes:
We won't miss a beat! We have a top of the line blue-tooth stereo system throughout. I have every song imaginable already downloaded and organized into playlists ranging from R&B, Rock, Classic, Alternative, Hip Hop, etc, or you can connect your own playlist if you'd like!

Little more love - I also provide for my guests:
Coolers iced up and ready to go
Plates, cups & utensils (all plastic) also plenty of paper towels are provided
If swimming, we have a few HUGE rafts (one seats 6 and also one that seats 8) to enjoy floating out in the playpen, nerf footballs, etc

    I cannot put into words how AWESOME Troy & his wife Jen are. Booked them for a boat outing during a Bachelorette Party- ended up staying ALL DAY LONG on their awesome and spacious boat, "Sun of a Beach!" Troy was so friendly and accommodating from the start. We were sent detailed directions to the docks & the slip was easy to find. Troy & Jen were so gracious and welcoming, they played whatever music you requested! Blew up all the rafts for us and treated us all like their own best friends! They literally have branded koozies and cheap sunglasses for use (and to keep!) so you can leave your RayBans safe onboard while you're on the rafts. Hung out all day at the Playpen and then cruised down the river after sundown. He is a safe boat captain and very knowledgable about the waters of Lake Michigan and the river. This was truly the highlight of our weekend! We love you guys!!!!!!
