  Joined Carefree for the first time in May 2018 after living in Chicago for about 3 years. Since the new ownership (Paul Standring) and staff took over in mid July, we have been extremely satisfied with our experience at carefree. If you live in Chicago and want to get out on the water, carfree is really the only way to go (vs. renting every time vs. owning your own boat).
  
  Pros:
  - All the boats are legit brands (regal, sea ray, scarab, cruiser, etc) and are fairly new.
  
  -31st harbor is very nice. Docks have digital locks. Parking garage on site (also carefree provides a free parking pass while you're boating). Harbor also has a small store to buy ice and stuff. Also nice to be heading south on the lake from the playpen/river etc. when the day is done as opposed to north towards diversey/belmont etc where everyone else is going.
  
  - Paul and his staff maintain excellent communication with the members regarding any issues with boats, weather, updates on new boats, etc. Paul is very personable and happy to deal with members directly. They want you to have a good time and are laid back but professional.
  
  - Everything is basically done for you (cleaning, gassing, maintenance). You make the reservation online, show up, and take the boat and bring it back. Very very hassle free and efficient.
  
  Cons:
  -Upholstery on the boat is what you would expect from a rental boat (which is good if you plan on using the boat for having a good time)
  
  -Sound system doesn't always work on every boat so bring a bluetooth speaker just in case
  
  - The pick up and drop off timing of the boats is not always well enforced; i.e. you may book the boat at 830am through the online reservation system but when you get there the boat still needs to be cleaned and gassed up, etc.
  
  - Not necessarily a con per se, but you do have to stay about 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule in order to get a boat on the weekend. For example, to get a boat for this weekend (9/15/18) you would have to book it by ~8/15/18. This should improve as Paul adds more boats to the fleet.
  
  Overall we have loved our time with carefree and had the best summer in Chicago yet this year with carefree. We love being on the water and if you do too carefree is the only way to go!

  Nice place to chill out have a drink and listen to some music.

  Great atmosphere, classy... but didn't get a chance to ride the boat. I'd go again.
