We had an amazing trip on the seadog Oct 17th 2023 - beautiful day for a thrash about in the waves - WOW !! Then a fantastic trip through Lake Michigan Lock and into the River with Daniel as our very knowledgeable guide. Would definitely recommend. our kids aged 17 and 21 loved it - as did we. Just the right balance of fun, exhilaration and educational too !

It was interesting AND really fun. I learned a good bit about local architecture and public infrastructure and then when the “pedal to the metal” ride on Lake Michigan was underway, I was laughing and having a blast. We were lucky to have a gorgeous warm day for this boat ride. A good value IMO and a great memory. I felt safe at all times. Jake gave us a very good tour, handled questions well, and is clearly very knowledgeable about his hometown. I’d do this again.

Our tour guy Jake was great, and really showed us the history of the skyscrapers in Chicago followed by a fast ride in the speedboat out in Lake Michigan.

Highly recommend the 515 trip for sunset. Malia was an amazing tour guide. Great mix of all information and a little humor

the speedboat was like a water coaster, very fun, and on the flip side the slow part of the tour was relaxing and very informative. The tour guide really knew his stuff when it came to the history of Chicago

Deborah_P

We all just loved this trip with Seadog. Very comfortable boat and so many interesting pieces of information provided. Sean was a brilliant guide. Would recommend to anyone!

Nancy_T

The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed leaning about Chicago’s architecture and ending with the speed boat was fun.

Horrible. Spiders all over boat. Big ones came out a night. I’m still scratching. I got bit too so plz don’t go

frabarram

Terrible experience. They canceled the trip due to bad weather (which is understandable) but I tried to contact them through phone, chat, and even tried to reschedule on their page but nothing worked. We lost our trip and their attention is the worst!!
