Captain Cab Delivers Relaxed and Expert-Led Charter Experiences on Chicago Waters

Hey, I’m Captain Cab, and I’ve been around boats my entire life—growing up on the water and truly considering it my second home. Summers in Chicago are something special out on the lake, and I bring that same energy and passion to every charter I run. My focus is always on creating a relaxed, fun, and safe atmosphere where guests can fully enjoy their time on the water without stress or complication.

Alongside my experience as a captain, I also work as a marine mechanic, giving me a deep understanding of how boats perform, operate, and stay safe on the water. That technical background helps ensure every trip runs smoothly and reliably, with attention to both comfort and safety throughout the journey. It also allows me to better anticipate conditions and keep the experience seamless from departure to return.

I’m very familiar with Chicago’s waterways and the most popular destinations across Lake Michigan and the river system. Whether you already have a plan or want guidance on where to go, I’m always happy to help shape the perfect route based on your group’s preferences. From iconic skyline views to quiet anchor spots, every trip can be tailored to match your ideal day.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply heading out for a laid-back cruise with friends and family, my goal is to make the entire experience smooth, memorable, and enjoyable. Every charter is approached with care and flexibility so guests can relax, have fun, and make the most of their time on the water.
