Have to do! - This is by far the best boat adventure you can experience. Captain Ken was very informative and knowledgeable. The boat ride in itself was an experience that you will never forget. I highly recommend.

Simply The Best ! A must do for a visit to Chigaco - My husband and I went on a trip with Captain Ken and Zac on Sunday 21st April and it was simply an exhilarating day. Ken was friendly, knowledgeable and made the trip so enjoyable. Originally we were only only able to do a trip down the river, however, Ken contacted me to let us know that we could also go on Lake Michigan, and we were so glad that we were able to.... the rib ride was brilliant, so fast and safe. Certainly the best way to enjoy the lake whilst seeing views of Chicago. If you do only one trip in Chicago, do this one with Captain Ken !

A chance to see it all by boat - The best experience in Chicago! We strongly recommend this unique experience with Blackhawk above any other boat tours for its great mix of comfort, individual experience, and adventure.

This boat tour is the real deal and a full experience of River and Lake. If there’s a time available, grab it! - With all of the choices for a River and Lake tour in Chicago, this is the best if you’re up for a cozy time on the River, and a blast of full throttle on the Lake. Well done and professional, but to be expected from a US military veteran-run business. We are happy to support fellow veterans, and Blackhawk is the best!

Worth it! - Ken was very knowledgeable and definitely knew his history on Chicago! Boat ride was so refreshing, seeing that beautiful sky line and enjoying the breeze. Thank you for being so kind and patient with us! Definitely book this tour if you’re debating it, you won’t regret it!

Totally recommend - Great time, so much better than the big boat cruises. We had a fantastic time with our Captain. Definitively a great decision to go with a smaller boat for a more relaxing and personalized experience!

Do it!!! - Amazing experience! The views were fabulous, the guide was fun and informative, and the boat was awesome. Highly recommend!

Million Dollar Skyline View - Fantastic tour, we had a great time! Every part was cool: touring the buildings up close from the river, going through the lock, riding the waves out on the lake, and stopping for the million dollar skyline view from the lake! So. Much. FUN.

Great fun on a fast boat passing by the tourist ships… - Great way to experience Chicago with Captain Ken. He spontaneously found the right time window between thunderstorms - we got extremely lucky, thanks to our Captain! And he took the boat out just for the three of us. Very informative trip through downtown and a lot of fund on the lake!

BlackHawkBoatTours Mike and Grace - Ken was amazing,he was a wellspring of knowledge. He has a great personality and really meticulously gives details on architecture, driving directions, and historical facts. I would gladly take this tour again with a friend who has never been to Chicago or who lives there and has never experienced this type of gem in the city.
