Chicago Electric Boat Company

Summer might be nearing an end but we’re feeling electric about all the fun things ahead!

This week, we meet Ron Silvia, President & Founder of Chicago Electric Boat Company. Famous for their year-round boating opportunities, Ron and his team have been innovators in Chicago’s aquatic tourism field for over a decade. Their notable boating experiences include last year’s viral Hot Tub Boats, Donut Boats, Retro Boats, pedal-powered Cycle Boats, and everything else from Pontoons to Duffys and Yachts!

We chat about how his days in Cape Cod influenced his vision for Chicago’s river and lake. Hear how he used new tech to bring Chicago’s most unique boating experiences to life, and learn about how everyone over 21 (including Ioanna and I) can learn to captain one of their vessels!

On top of the already instagramable opportunities, they have dog-friendly boating options for Aaron’s corgi!  Plus, Ron tells us about how much promise lies in the continued growth of Chicago’s vibrant aquatic scene.

We end with rapid fire to learn Ron’s favorite boat, his go-to snack when on the water, and his dream person to have on a boat ride (hint: it’s Katy Perry)!!!
