What a thrill!

Yessica, our guide, was excellent. Learned lots about the buildings along the Chicago river. Great character! All staff friendly and helpful. The highlight was the speedboat ride onto the lake! Fantastic. Thoroughly recommend.
Loved Seadog Lake and River cruise!

Seadog was a treat. So glad we chose them to cruise the river. Andy, skunk and the captain were very pleasant and provided more than a few belly laughs while teaching us so much about the river and city it snakes through. Even had out teen giggle along which is quite a tough task. 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks Andy and crew!
Great time, highly recommend
