BBQ Pontoon were awesome! What I really appreciate was attention to detail especially during these times. The pontoon was very well cleaned and sanitized. Immediately after we returned they started cleaning sanitizing the boat once again. The boat was quite and ran perfectly. Enjoyed the complimentary pizza too! Highly recommended. Also, the dock is right next to Lawrence’s fish and shrimp! Man, what more do you want!

Went on a boat last night was worried cuz it was raining throughout the day but what a beautiful night in the city it turned out. The man greeted us right away and explained everything to us. He gave us a delicious frozen pizza to start off on our cruise. It was a bit chilly and it was nice having the grill in front keeping us warm. We got to see the whole city in less than 2 hours. I had to rebook several times because of the weather but they worked with me. Very accommodating and fun. Highly recommend this place.

Enjoyed a beautiful evening crusin the Chicago river, birthday celebrations! BBQ Pontoon was extremely accommodating; very pleasant experience, immediate response via text and email and follow up reminder of activity planned! Top notch professionalism! And plenty of time, within 2 hours, traveling from starting location to end of river, reaching lake Michigan. Highly recommend BBQ Pontoon!

The owners are great people and provides excellent customer service! We really enjoyed our hot New York style pizza on our cruise. It is a very beautiful way to see the city lights and spend quality time with your loved ones. Also the boat is extremely comfortable and clean; we all had a wonderful time in our city! 🌃 One last thing that is a plus, is the location it is in a perfect spot.

By far one for the books! What an amazing experience I had with my three children today. The pontoon is beautiful and perfectly intimate. Rich and Cristina are amazing hosts and very precise with rules and regulations. Thank you for your attention to detail and making you feel comfortable before you enter the pontoon. We cannot wait to do it again. We have great memories and pictures of our beautiful Chicago river.
