    We had an absolute blast starting our honeymoon off with a morning boat tour. It was beautiful and we were well taken care of. Beautiful boat, great captain, and an amazing experience.

    The four of us went out on The Salty Dog yesterday and, wow, it was fabulous. We're all dog lovers, and just thought Woody was THE BEST. Even though it was really windy and none of us know how to sail, Captain kirk exuded confidence and competence, and he made us all comfortable. Next time we visit, we'll definitely go again - in summertime!!!!!

    Many thanks to Captain Kirk and his intrepid golden doodle-first mate Woody for an unforgettable offshore experience. I wanted something “non-touristy” to the Chicago water cribs and got a 34 foot racing sailboat that heels beautifully at 20 degrees into the wind. Amazing experience!
