RENT MULTIPLE BOATS!
If you have a large group - no problem! We have matching power boats so you could consider renting both which would allow up to 14 adults or 18 people if at least 4 of your passengers are under 18.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
BAREBOAT RENTAL REGULATIONS |
This is a bareboat rental, and Coast Guard regulations require that you hire and pay a captain directly. You should budget $50-$75/hour plus gratuity for a captain. The boat operator must be a US Coast Guard licensed master with minimum 50T endorsement. After you book the boat we will send you a list of captains who are familiar with our boats with contact information so you can reach out to them directly. You may choose a captain from our list, or if you have some other licensed captain in mind please submit their credentials to us for review. Bareboat charter regulations also require that the renter is responsible for on-board consumables including fuel. Your fuel expense will not be more than $150 for our most popular itinerary to the downtown "playpen" anchorage and back to the harbor.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
COVID POLICY & CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS |
If government restrictions prohibit you from renting the boat due to COVID our normal cancellation policy will not apply and you will receive a full refund. Please note, while this boat normally accommodates up to 12 guests comfortably, the State of Illinois and City of Chicago have mandated a COVID related maximum boat capacity for Phase 3 and Phase 4 of no more than 8 adults, including the captain. That means an adults only group is limited to 7 adults, plus the captain for 8 total on the boat. This capacity can go up to 10 passengers (including the captain) if at least 2 of the passengers are under the age of 18. We are following these regulations to avoid charter termination and steep fines for the renters and owner. We have substantially lowered our pricing to acknowledge these new regulations. The good news is that you will have a HUGE boat for the price of a much smaller boat! Our cleaning team will be using hospital grade sanitizer between charters to sanitize the boat and hand sanitizer, soap, and PPE will be available on board.

We had an incredible time on Chris's boat! He made everything super easy for us ahead of time so it was a completely stress-free day. Chris was easy to work with and very helpful when it came to the many questions I had. The boat itself was great: very clean, everything in working condition, and certainly surpassed expectations. I will definitely be renting from Chicago Yachting again!

Chris was downright awesome!! He is very responsive and ensured that we had all the necessary information for our fourth of July boat trip! His recommendation to hit the playpen was great! The yacht was in fantastic condition! I hired Captain Cortney for our trip, who also proved to be an amazing captain. We definitely plan on renting from Chris in the future!!

Chris was VERY helpful through the entire booking process. Our boat was BETTER than expected and our Captain, Cortney Scott, was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I have nothing but incredible things to say about our entire experience. We had 10 ladies on this boat and there was MORE than enough room for all of us to relax in the sun, swim and hang out.

Chris was great and the boat was perfect for our group of 12. He communicated everything upfront and thoroughly. And, he connected us with a great captain! The boat has a nice large area in the back for everyone to hangout in. He provided a cooler, ice, there's a nice bathroom on the boat and a cabin area beneath. We didn't have great weather, but still had an amazing day on the boat!! Thanks, Chris!

Had an amazing time! Chris was very helpful with details on how to prepare for our day on the water. The boat was much larger than we expected, perfect for our group of 12. Our captain Patrick was great and helped us set up when we arrived. Meeting place was very easy to find as well! Will definitely be booking again!
