Great boat, best captain/crew. Captain Tim and Alexis made us feel welcome and we had one of most fun days. We celebrated birthday so we had sushi and cake and drinks on board. They took us to great swimming and jet skiing spots and we ended the night with fireworks. We had the best time and will never forget this day.

Captain Tim Jr. was great. He had to navigated some choppy waters but made sure we were all safe and had lots of fun. The owner takes great care of the boat, and everything was clean and working well. We can't wait for our next boat ride with Captain Tim Jr.

Captain Tim was absolutely amazing and the boating experience was truly spectacular. The amenities on the boat are true luxury with the TV, speakers, coolers, restroom and floaties to lounge in the lake. He went above and beyond for our group and we will be booking him next time we’re looking for a Lake Michigan boat day. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time on the boat. Tim was excellent and friendly. My husband had several boating questions, and Tim answered them all. My niece really enjoyed the floating pad. The dock was easy to find. The boat experience was definitely worth it.

Overall we had a great experience! Communication was clear and simple, captain tim jr was easy going and we really enjoyed our time on the water for the air and water show. My two young kids also loved the boat and hanging out on the floats when we were anchored. 10/10 would recommend!

We had a great time and Captain Tim did an awesome job giving us a great sights of the city from the lake as well as time to chill in the play pen.

We had a wonderful time. Tim Jr. took us out for the evening and we had what felt like a front row seat to the fireworks at Navy Pier. The boat was very clean and the sound system was great. This was my first time booking a charter with Boatsetter and I would sail with Tim and his dad again!

The boat was perfect for our day in the playpen. Capt. Tim was a gracious host. Excellent experience overall!
- KevinKevin
Captain Tim Jr was an absolute blast to spend 4 hours with. The boat was perfect and all the amenities like the float, were great! It’s really easy to have a non personable captain, but Tim Jr was a ton of fun and conversed with us the entire time. Next time, I’m going to try to get more people and rent their 44 foot boat! Thanks again for the great day on the lake!
