ChicaGo By Boat

Boat rental service

👍👍 My husband and I grew up sailing on Lake Michigan. We moved away 15 years ago and the lake is the thing we miss most.

The Sophisticated Lady Yacht Charters

Houseboat rental service

Reed's Canoe Trips

Canoe & kayak rental service

👍👍 Second time taking a trip with Reeds. First was canoes, this time was kayaks. River was low, so I'm glad we did kayaks - lighter to pull over shallow parts. Great route, friendly staff. However, if I hadn't kayaked before, I would have been a little lost; no proactive instruction on how to load up,...
