Adventurous & knowledgeable • very well worth it‼️ #GoYachti
This is the best service!. Liam, the owner and operator, is a super nice guy, and very responsive to our requests, and then quick to follow through. The entire experience was truly 5-star. I continue to recommend them to anyone looking to meet up with boaters on the water or needing a ride back to shore. I wish it had been around years ago. THANK YOU, YACHTI ADVENTURE TOURS, TENDER, and CHARTERS!
Highly recommend for anyone needing a quick water taxi! Communication arranging my ride was excellent, worked with me on short notice. Yachti is a reliable and safe way to get around by water!!
Our time with Liam of Yachti Charters was absolutely amazing. He is so knowledgeable we were able to enjoy Lake Michigan on the water as well as learn a ton of interesting historical facts. Would recommend to all. Was WONDERFUL!!!
Definitely love being on the water tickets were easy to get and they have a military discount. You are sure to smile when you get on the deck and see the beautiful water
Liam is GREAT! Great communication. Picked me up and dropped me off at the right location in a speedy and safe fashion. I highly recommend him and trust him! Will be using his services going forward!!!
This was such a unique and fun tour for our small group of girls for my bachelorette weekend! Liam was super knowledgeable about the Chicago skyline and made the tour a great balance of historic factoids and exciting adventure with speeding/turns around the lake. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a more unique aquatic/boat experience other than your standard booze cruise.
So, here's a different kind of review- I cannot comment on Yachti as a tour, tender, or charter company, but I can reference its owner/operator Liam. I've utilized Liam's services twice to help with sailboat mast work, and both projects have been completed successfully (one with some greater challenges). Most notably, Liam's character and sense of professionalism and dedication to the projects was of the highest caliber. Not only does he do the job right, he is pleasant company in the process, even with some risky conditions. It's easy to find a boat captain to ferry people from point to point; it's another thing to find an operator with such personal standing. Liam is a cut above!
Yachti’s water taxi service made our day on the lake run so smoothly and saved us hours of time! Liam and the crew at Yachti are incredibly professional and very punctual. In my opinion, this is the most convenient way to get to and from a boat charter mid day without having to waste time going back to the harbor. During our charter, we had a few people who needed to leave early and Yachti saved the larger group a trip back while helping my friends get to shore and make their flight on time. We also used them to complete the last mile of a spontaneous pizza order to the boat and keep the party going! I will definitely use their service again and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a water taxi.
My girlfriend and I went on the Adventure Tour in early October last year, and it was an exceptional experience. Our captain, Liam, was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire trip. When we encountered a boat issue, he quickly resolved and more than made up for it. One of the highlights of our entire trip was the special tour that Liam treated us to. Not only did he showcase the beautiful sights of Chicago, but he also provided us with a wealth of historical knowledge, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a memorable experience on Lake Michigan. Liam's dedication to ensuring a seamless trip, combined with his expertise and professionalism, make Goyachti a top choice for anyone looking to explore the waters in style.
