About Cheryl

“I have a passion for boat life, as has been demonstrated by the 20 years of being out on Lake Michigan waters, summer after summer. I am a people person that's pretty ambitious, resourceful, goal-oriented, adventurous, fair and fun loving. I seem to take on careers that make people happy because making people happy makes me happy. In so doing, I take on these monumental tasks sometimes bigger than myself, and yet somehow seem to always meet these challenges head-on with strength & tenacity, serendipitously; making things look easier than they actually are; i.e. 3 foot spas for 10 years, called "My Happy Feet" (which was the first of my kind, American and Black-owned); to now renting a fleet of boats, (another first), being the first female to head up, own, and rent a fleet of boats on Lake Michigan. Who knew? Anyway, I would love it if you would come boat with me at the Chez Renee Voyage enclave someday.”


Aboard since 2020

    Cheryl was very responsive and worked hard to find us a captain during a very busy time period and short notice.

    I was so impressed with Cheryl’s communication all throughout this process! She was so kind and helped us through the slightly turbulent wind report. Captain Will made sure we had an awesome time on the water, even though it started out a little bit rocky with all of the waves. Overall 10/10 experience, I will definitely be booking with both of them again!

    The boat was nice and Captain John did a good job. However, the boat pricing on the Boatsetter listing was not properly disclosed. Under the list of amenities, the listing said a flotation mat/lilypad was included. However, when we arrived at the boat, we were told the mat is actually $60 extra. Also, the Boatsetter quote included an $80/hour fee for the captain. We were later told that was also wrong and the actual captain fee would be higher. I hope the boat owner gets the listing fixed.

    Cheryl and Captain Chris were great hosts - everything was super smooth in terms of logistics, and both of them were very welcoming to our group and ensured we had a great time on the water. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to rent a boat on Lake Michigan!

    We had a terrific experience with Cheryl and her boats. She was understanding, accommodating, and communicative, all with a beautiful smile on her face. The boats were terrific, and our group was comfortable and safe. Would definitely work with her again.

    5 Stars isn't enough. Wish I could leave her 10!!! Cheryl is amazing. Felt like we knew her forever. The boat was awesome. We had rented a smaller boat that I was going to captain, but she upgraded us to a larger boat and provided Captain John to captain the boat for us along with his wife who helped make sure everything was perfect. Can't recommend Cheryl highly enough! Thank you, Cheryl for a fantastic day. It could not have been better!!!!!

    Cheryl (the owner) was incredibly responsive, and found us a great same-day option on really short notice. The boat was perfect for us (just two people) for an afternoon cruise along the lakefront. Our captain Johnny handled some choppy water like a pro, making our journey super enjoyable and very memorable. Would 100% book with Cheryl again!

    Cheryl and her team were amazing from start to finish! We had a group of 10 and headed to the playpen. Our captain, Papo, helped us keep the party going and made sure we all had a great time even though we hit a bit of rain while at the playpen!
