Chicago Yachting — Local services in Chicago

Best way to make your siblings look bad: bring a cooler of frosty cold beverages, pick up a premade charcuterie board and call into work sick to take your family out for an afternoon on the river and lake.

Three generations of family all had a blast and you gain a new perspective on the city. Booking, communication, parking, everything was smooth. Our captain was very friendly and added to our enjoyment.

This is the next best thing to having a friend with a boat, this was great with the family and next time i’d like to try it with a group of friends at the playpen. The boats had a good amount of open space which I appreciate, we only used the cabin for the restroom, we all fit comfortably outside, sound system was great and I got to play my music, will...

Chris was awesome to work with and his team had flawless communication. Message response times were on point every question I had was answered within an hour or two.

We booked Big Blue for the 4th of July the boat lived up to the name it was massive and perfect for our group of 7. We had a bit of trouble finding a captain due to the busy holiday and uncertainty of the pandemic but once again the team blew us away and called me directly to see how they could help with our search.

There was also an incident the day of our trip which caused the normal road exits to be closed. Someone from the team called me right away to help our group make it to the docks which was super impressive.

Fantastic company to work with and we are really looking forward to our next...

We had a fantastic experience renting My Kinda Party from Chris with Captain Kelly in early September for a birthday celebration. Our group of 12 adults fit very comfortably on board. Although we were initially concerned about the cooler weather (low sixties), the sunshine made it perfectly pleasant and even warm enough for a swim.

Chris was prompt, transparent, and easy to work with, answering all of our questions quickly. Captain Kelly was extremely capable, punctual, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, whether it was stocking our cooler with ice, setting up Bluetooth, or inflating the swim raft for us.

Overall, it was a seamless and memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back...
