This was terrible service as we could only use the boat on a Saturday and only had 2 weeks to find a different option. This was almost impossible as boats are booked well in advance for Saturdays in Chicago. Would highly recommend Sofia with Get my Boat if you have a party of 12 looking for a great time.

I accepted an internship at Levin Associates/Pier-Port with the sincere intention to grow, learn,…read moreand gain experience. Unfortunately, my time there turned out to be deeply disheartening. One of the biggest lessons I took away was to be cautious when something seems too good to be true--and to never allow your employer to have control over both your job and your housing. Though the role was advertised as an internship, I was treated like a senior employee. I was the only person in my field--there was no team to learn from, no mentorship, and no one to guide me. While there was a formal onboarding process, there was no meaningful support. I had to teach myself difficult programs under pressure, with little clarity and no guidance. The expectations felt unrealistic and unsupported. Communication was inconsistent. Tasks were often unclear, with expectations that shifted randomly. When I asked for clarification, I was always met with frustration, raised voices, or cursing. The owner was frequently unavailable during the day, often arriving late afternoon when others were already leaving. This made getting direction or feedback extremely difficult. When I got very sick and needed three days off to recover, I was told by the owner that he was considering hiring someone else--described as an industry expert--for my role. As an unpaid intern from out of state, this made me feel like my position and housing were being threatened. I felt like the only way to avoid being left without a place to live was to stay and endure an environment that felt toxic and unpredictable. The housing provided was not what I expected. I was told it was professionally cleaned and part of a formal setup. What I arrived to was a neglected attic loft above his home's garage. It had no kitchen, the furniture was old and worn, and it was hard to live in. I found visible rodent droppings in the kitchen cabinets under the sink. No supplies or help were offered--I had to spend my own money to deal with the issue. It felt deeply stressful, especially as someone new to the state with no backup housing. Before accepting, I had a call with the owner where he made the company sound well-staffed and professional. He described a busy, structured environment. I also checked the company's staff page, which listed several people, reinforcing that idea. But when I arrived, the reality was very different. It was a small team, mostly in unrelated roles, and there was no support system for interns. I had no one to train me--just high expectations and constant pressure. From day one, the owner's tone felt harsh and unpredictable. There was no feedback loop--just ongoing criticism, often delivered in a way that felt demeaning. I also saw others treated unfairly. The workplace culture felt emotionally exhausting. I witnessed people come in for work and never return. While there was one person who had been with the company for a few years, it didn't appear to be continuous. To my knowledge, the most consistently present employee had only been there a little over a year. If you're considering applying--especially if you're from out of state and don't have support--I strongly encourage caution. In my opinion, this internship did not offer the professional, or educational environment I was promised. I left feeling drained, unsupported, and disappointed. Please think carefully, and prioritize your mental and physical well-being before accepting.

The boat staff were all helpful and very friendly. I selected this cruise for my wife and I because it was led by someone with some real architecture knowledge. Our guide, Bryan, had a degree in architectural history and was from the Chicago area. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the buildings along our path on the main branch as well as north and south branches of the Chicago river. We found the tour very informative and fun. Bryan was not someone who was just trained to be a guide but we found him to be an expert in this field. I appreciated that they did not push the sale of drinks, but told us where on the boat to purchase them if you wanted anything to drink. They also politely asked that if you wanted to talk to your friends, spouse, etc, to please go below deck so others could listen to the presentation. I'd highly recommend this company and our guide, Bryan.

She understands that this is a big purchase and made sure that I understood what I was getting into and what all my options were. I was on the fence on different models and brands and she helped me with a side by side comparison so I picked the right one with options that I need. It was a big purchase for me so she wasn't pushy, on the other hand she also welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable since I have had trouble in the past with sales people not wanting to approach me since I don't have the appearance of being rich. She didn't hesitate to greet me and help me out. Later after we made sure that we had the right make and model she introduced me to one of the owners Matt. We sat down and he dialed me in with the price. It was like a no haggle thing since I was shopping and knew what this should cost and he was below anyone else. He was very very helpful and was a pleasure to do business with. This is a family business and they treated me like family. Not only do I recommend Munson to strangers on the internet but would recommend them to my friends and family. All of their boats and products are top notch and they been in the business for like over 60years (I think). So that tells you something right there they would not be around for so long if they didn't know what they were doing and doing things right.
