Captain Tanner Ciaramita

Hey there! I’m Captain Tanner, and I’ve been on boats since I was little. Over the years, I’ve done everything from water sports and performance boats to yacht deliveries, and I’ve spent four years running charters on Lake Michigan. I love showing guests the best of Chicago’s waterfront, whether it’s cruising along the skyline, relaxing at the Playpen or Monroe Harbor, or enjoying a scenic river cruise. My focus is always on safety, smooth sailing, and making your time on the water unforgettable.

I provide a captain and deckhand to assist with drinks, serving, and catering your group as much as possible. Charters are fully customizable—you bring the food and beverages, and I’ll help make it seamless. Night cruises are especially magical, with city lights and lake views, while daytime trips offer great spots for swimming and sightseeing. Together, we’ll set the course, play your favorite music, and make every charter a fun, memorable experience.
