Fantastic experience! Way more fun than driving thru Chicago traffic. Worth every penny.

My husband and I had not ever rode the S.S. Badger. We enjoyed our trip we did a round trip which was 8hrs on the boat. The staff was wonderful and the food was good. The dog that checks the cars and her master where great as well. Hope to take a trip again. Thanks for the great job you guys do.

Breakfast was ok, little pricy but I understand. At least it's all you can eat. I think the cost of a motorcycle on the trip is steep. It's $10 less than a car and you take up a fraction of the space. We drive in, supply our own tie down straps, tie our own bikes down. Bicycles are $6 and take up a barely smaller space. We park out of the way and don't interfere with space for cars. $40 plus the $60 ticket for a motorcycle is ridiculous.
