🌊 Fun for Family & Friends on Lake Michigan

House of Alpha is a 40’ Cruiser Yacht offering a private, luxury experience on beautiful Lake Michigan. Featuring two levels, a spacious forward sundeck, swim platform, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a Bluetooth sound system, this yacht is perfect for relaxing days on the water, celebrations, and unforgettable views of the Chicago skyline.

This is a bareboat charter, meaning you are leasing the vessel and have full control of your experience.

⚓ Captain Information (Important)

Per U.S. Coast Guard regulations, captain and fuel are not included. A USCG-licensed captain is required to operate this vessel.

After booking, you may:

Select your own qualified captain, or

Request a list of independent, unaffiliated USCG-licensed captains as a courtesy

Captain rates are set by the captain and paid directly to the captain, typically ranging from $100–$150 per hour. Boatsetter does not set or collect captain fees.

👥 Guests

You may invite up to 12 guests, excluding the charterer and crew.

🧼 Cleaning

A $500 cleaning fee may be charged only if excessive cleaning is required, including biohazard cleanup.

📅 Special Dates

Holiday and event dates (Memorial Day, July 4th, Air & Water Show, Chicago Scene, Labor Day, etc.) may be subject to adjusted pricing.

⏰ Arrival

Please arrive 20 minutes early so your charter can begin on time. Charters begin and end at the scheduled reservation times. Late arrivals do not extend the charter period.

All guests must be off the yacht with personal items and trash removed by the end of the reservation. The yacht returns to the harbor approximately 15 minutes before the end time to ensure a smooth transition.
