The boat

46 foot Rio Coupe Day Yacht

Meet the 2023 Rio Sport Coupe 44, one of the most unique charter yachts ever to arrive in Chicago.

Built in Italy, the Rio 44 is not a typical cruiser. It is a modern sport coupe with a completely different feeling from the usual Chicago charter boat. The magic is the layout: the aft deck, cockpit, galley, helm, lounge, and salon all flow together into one open social space. When the sliding glass door disappears to the side, the boat feels like one continuous indoor-outdoor lounge floating through the skyline.

This is the boat for guests who want something rare, elegant, and conversation-starting. The teak cockpit is spacious and flat, with a large sofa, two tables, sun lounger, outdoor kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, and a concealable TV. The helm area has a sliding glass roof, side window, and long side glazing that fills the space with air, light, and panoramic views.

Below deck, the Rio offers a luxury two-stateroom, two-head layout with separate showers, giving it the comfort and privacy of a much larger yacht.

Powered by twin CAT 7.1L diesel engines with joystick control, bow and stern thrusters, hydraulic platform, and sunroof, this 44-footer brings Italian performance, comfort, and style into one unforgettable Chicago charter experience.

This is not just another boat listing.

This is a first-of-its-kind Chicago yacht experience.
