Chicago Private Yacht Rentals for pleasure or business!

70' EXCLUSIVE Motor Yacht NEW to Chicago

Damian and Monica (and Jimmy) were a pleasure as captain, staff, and assisting with our trip. Everything was on time and their initial instructions were easy to understand and friendly. Our trip included both the the river and lake and was a beautiful day. Our originally scheduled Saturday had bad weather forecasted and we were lucky enough to reschedule for the day after. This was a surprise for my Mom and when the boat arrived it was huge, clean and ready to go. We brought our own food, drinks, and also had the ability to play our own music. The boat was the biggest on the water and we loved the multiple locations on the boat to hang out to eat and drink. It was an unforgettable day and I would not hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend it!

Diversey Harbor 46 ft Luxury Yacht Perfect Play Pen Boat

Jason has very competitive pricing that is well worth it. Communication was very easy. He provided me with a very simple list to find a captain (which was the piece I was most worried about). The boat came with ice and cups which made it so easy for hosting. Had a great time!

We had an amazing time on Jason’s boat celebrating a 30th birthday! Our captain Justin was phenomenal. Everything was just as it was on the listing. Boat was clean, as was the bathroom. Ice and coolers were provided as well as kitchen utensils. An amazing deal comparatively. Wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you Jason and Justin!

We rented out this yacht for my boyfriend’s birthday party! The boat was spacious and just as described. Our captain Peter and his wife were an amazing crew, thorough with safety, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure that we had an incredible time! Booking with Eugene was a breeze, he was quick to respond, as well as answered every question that I asked! Everyone had a blast, and we will definitely be booking through them again!

An overall wonderful experience! Communication was great with the captain from the start as he guided us through the phone to find the boat, the boat itself was clean with excellent service from the Bluetooth speaker to the cooler with ice; It was a Saturday night so witnessing the fireworks on the water is definitely a 10/10, my toddler very much enjoyed it as well! Thank you captain Memo 😊

Memo was a great captain! We appreciated his communication immediately upon booking all the way through our reservation. Throughout our trip, he made sure the experience was exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for the ideal Chicago boating experience.

Frequently asked questions.

Renting a boat in Chicago starts at $100 an hour for a small powerboat and goes up to $800 an hour for a luxury motor yacht .

A smaller motor yacht rental will cost around $250 an hour, while a larger yacht can cost up to $700 an hour. When getting a quote, inquire if the captain’s fee and gas are included in the price.

• Chicago Architecture Tour
• Cruise The River
• Shoreline Tour

While boating season in Chicago can vary depending on the weather, it usually starts at the beginning of May and can extend through to October.

The Playpen is one of the most popular boating destinations in Chicago. It’s a protected area in front of Lake Shore Drive created by a breakwall in front of the water filtration plant. It’s the perfect destination for swimming, boat parties, and floating. Boaters stop here and tie-up with other boats for an on-the-water social affair. In fact, the Playpen hosts the largest annual boat party in all of Chicago, dubbed the Chicago Scene Boat Party.

The Chicago Scene Boat Party is an annual event held in the Playpen where hundreds of boats tie up for what is now the largest boat party on Lake Michigan . This event is usually held the last weekend of July, but boat rental reservations fill up months in advance. The Chicago Scene Boat Party was started in 2000 by Ted Widen, the publisher of the luxury lifestyle mag Chicago Scene.

Boats listed on Getmyboat offer boat rentals with or without a captain in Chicago. Before confirming your booking, you can always communicate with the boat owner through Getmyboat to ensure your captain and crew needs are met.

While Airbnb has a few boats or yachts that you can sleep in overnight at the marina, they do not allow you to go out on the boat. Getmyboat specializes in top-quality boat rentals and yacht charters in Chicago that allow you to leave the dock and experience the water. Don't just sleep on the boat, explore with the boat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a yacht in chicago.

Yacht rentals in Chicago range quite a bit in cost. For a half-day out on the water, you can expect to spend somewhere between $1,000 to $2,000 on average. 

However, that price can be driven up if you want anything more than the basics. A larger yacht that can handle more people, a full day of yachting, and any add-ons will cost more. 

All of this is laid out very clearly on our website. If you search for yachts in Chicago on our site, you will immediately get a list of available yachts and the base price they cost. 

How Many Passengers Are Allowed?

The number of passengers will vary depending on the yacht. Larger yachts can typically handle more people, while smaller ones will handle less. 

For yachts in Chicago, the average number of passengers tends to range from seven to 13 maximum guests . However, the best way to find out exactly how many passengers a yacht can take on it is to check the information page about it. Here, the maximum number of passengers will be clearly listed. 

Can We Bring More People Than We Planned?

The answer to this question depends on the situation. However, in general, if the number of guests is still lower than the maximum number of people the yacht can handle, it is usually alright to bring them. If it exceeds this number, then it is not permitted. 

What Safety Practices Are In Place?

Numerous safety practices are in place on all of our yacht rides. We follow all relevant laws relating to yacht operations to keep you safe. In addition, our Captains are USCG licensed, and the crew is well-trained and will address any potentially dangerous situation in a way that will keep you safe. 

What If the Weather Is Bad?

If the weather is bad on the day of your yacht rental, we can work to reschedule it based on our  cancellation policy . We’ll provide you with a charter voucher for the same amount of the yacht you paid for. You can then use this to schedule another yacht rental within one year.
