- RHRomina HogueNov 5, 20255.0Halloween Boo Bash 2025 was fantastic! The yacht was clean and stocked. The crew was amazing. Janette Miguez was an incredible host with a plethora of information. She gave us a tour of all decks, events past and present, and was super friendly! The event was full of stocked drinks, food, fantastic and loud music! The dance floors were packed with dancing and I loved scooting around inside and out to enjoy all the shoreline views, rain, and cool weather! LOVED this event!!

- FGFusha GoodenOct 19, 20255.0From start to finish, the Skyline yacht cruise and Rockin down the house cruise party was nothing short of amazing! Definitely one of the best parties in Chi! The moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was electric — great music, friendly staff, and breathtaking views all around. The décor and lighting set the perfect vibe for a night of celebration and fun on the water. The DJ kept the energy high all night with a perfect mix of hits that had everyone dancing, and the bartenders were top-notch — creative cocktails, fast service, and always a smile. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with something for everyone to enjoy. What really stood out was the vibe — everyone was having a great time, from couples celebrating anniversaries to groups of friends just out to enjoy the night. The sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning and made for the perfect photo moments. If you’re looking for an unforgettable night full of music, laughter, and luxury on the open water, this cruise party is a must-do. I can’t wait to book again — it’s the kind of experience you’ll be talking about long after you’re back on shore!
