Chicago Private Yacht Rentals for pleasure or business!
We coined the phrase yacht rental Chicago style to help distinguish the yachting experiences we offer from a boat rental Chicago style. Our yacht rental Chicago style provides, for pleasure or business, a 68-foot luxury Chris Craft twin-engine motor yacht, Adeline’s Sea Moose, as opposed to a boat rental Chicago style on a smaller vessel.
Our yacht rental Chicago style and a boat rental Chicago style for intimacy. Depending on how creative you are, either a yacht rental Chicago style or a boat rental Chicago style may serve you well. However, for the most intimate of occasions, our yacht rental Chicago style aboard Adeline’s Sea Moose provides the luxury of a private 68-foot yacht and pampering by her crew, where boat rental Chicago style may not.

Sustainable yachting tips
If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a boat rental in Chicago is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto: 'Take only photos, leave only wake' (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:
- Don’t disturb coral or sealife
- Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
- Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

BLACK YACHT WEEKEND DEAL $300/HOUR ON 33' BAYLINER (INCLUDES BOAT TIE-UP!!!)
We did an evening cruise from 6-9pm which was perfect timing! We were able to enjoy some sun but also view the beautiful sunset over the city…Captain TJ was super cool and the boat itself was exactly as expected. I would definitely book again and would highly recommend to friends!
Awesome clean boat. Easy to drive and work with and all necessary amenities. Had awesome time at playpen with 5 of my friends but could easily fit a lot more. Eduard was easy to work with and made it a seamless experience.Next time coming to Chicago I will definitely be coming to him if I need a boat for the summer.
Beautiful Boat LOA 40' Sundancer
Peter was incredible throughout booking, boarding, cruising, and returning to dock. Super responsive. He also prioritized our group having the best, most fun, most relaxing trip we could possibly have. He and his crew took care of everything we needed! Would definitely book with him again.
We are so glad to have booked with Peter! He and his son would go above and beyond for us (for instance, running and paying for ice for our cooler at the last minute). We would highly recommend booking with Peter for a fun-filled day out on the water. Looking forward to booking again soon :)
32' Motor Yacht Charter Downtown Chicago's Lake Front ( CAPTAIN INCLUDED )
We had an absolutely unforgettable boating experience. Adnan's larger boat was amazing, very spacious and it provided plenty of room to relax. We have amazing pictures to cherish from our time on board. Our captain was fantastic as well. We enjoyed his company. Additionally, the owner was incredibly accommodating when we had a change in plans, making the experience even smoother. We can't wait to book another outing—highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable day on the water!
We had a great time on Eric’s boat. It is a really nice boat, the pictures don’t do it justice! The seating area in the back of the boat had plenty of seats and a little table and everything was bright white and clean and nice. My friends were impressed with the sound system and I really liked the striped lounger on the bow. Everyone in our group thought the pickup/dropoff dock was really easy and convenient. The boat had a small ice maker which came in handy and also a few very large coolers that worked well and held all of our stuff. I would definitely charter this boat again!

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.

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.

Fast conditions forecast as 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac gets underway
- Updated: Jul. 13, 2024, 12:49 p.m.
- | Published: Jul. 13, 2024, 12:37 p.m.
The 115th Chicago Yacht Club to Mackinac Race is this weekend. The Cruising Division got underway on Friday. Photo provided by Barry Butler, CYC Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust Barry Butler, CYC Race to Mackinac presented by Wintrust

CHICAGO - If weather forecasts hold up, this could be a record-breaking year of fast finishes for boat crews competing in this weekend’s 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race To Mackinac.
About 250 boats are participating in this classic Lake Michigan race this year. It stretches 333 miles from Chicago to Mackinac Island. This year, 2,200 sailors are on board - and about 20% are first-timers to the race known as America’s Offshore Challenge.
The festivities kicked off Friday in Chicago, with the Cruising Division boats getting their start. Today, the Racing Division boats kick off their part of the contest. The Chicago-to-Mackinac race is heralded as the longest freshwater sailing race in the world.
You can check the progress as the competition tracks up the spine of Lake Michigan. Each entry is equipped with a satellite tracker that sends information on speed, location and direction every 15 minutes. This race tracker gives you a color-coded map .
Michigan’s Best Tip: If the winds have the competing sailboats hugging the Michigan side of the Lake Michigan coastline during the race, beachgoers in West Michigan and Northern Michigan can get an eyeful of these beautiful boats as they pass. If you’re headed to the beach, bring a pair of binoculars.
“We’re expecting a very fast race this year with possible records being broken,” race staff said on social media today. “There’s a forecast for perfect downwind conditions that accelerate the further up the lake you look.”
The race starts near Chicago’s Navy Pier, heads up Lake Michigan, rounds the top of The Mitten and sails under the Mackinac Bridge before approaching the finish line near the Round Island Lighthouse alongside Mackinac Island. The fastest boats could reach the island later Sunday.
And once the boat crews step onto Mackinac Island, it’s party time.
Many of the boats will post individual updates, photos and videos during the race. You can follow the race on social media: #CYCRTM

Yacht Shatters 22-Year Record in Chicago-Mackinac Race
By Isabella Helms July 15, 2024
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — The 115th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac witnessed history on July 14 as the Maverick yacht broke a 22-year-old record with a time of 22 hours, 24 minutes, and 23 seconds. Skippered by Sanford Burris alongside William and Ward Kinney, Maverick outpaced the previous record held by Roy P. Disney’s Pyewacket in 2002 by over an hour.
In addition to setting a new course record, the Maverick team also secured the prestigious Royono Trophy as the first racing monohull to finish the 115th edition.
MORE NEWS: State Rep. Andrew Fink Endorsed by CPAC for Michigan Supreme Court
Despite initial weather concerns, strong southerly winds and overnight storms created optimal conditions, propelling the team to a new record. In fact, the 115th edition of the race, presented by Wintrust Financial, saw some of the fastest times in recent years. Nearly ideal downwind conditions allowed the 250 participating boats to achieve impressive speeds, with larger boats averaging 10 to 15 knots, according to Sail World .
The Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, known as “America’s Offshore Challenge,” is one of the world’s largest and oldest annual offshore regattas. Beginning near Chicago’s Navy Pier, the race spans 289 nautical miles (333 statute miles) to Mackinac Island, challenging sailors with diverse conditions.
This year, in particular, the race placed a special emphasis on attracting new participants, resulting in over 2,200 competing sailors.
Following their record-breaking run, Maverick continued into the “Super Mac” race, an extended course that combines the Chicago Mackinac and Bayview Mackinac races. The total distance covered in this extended race is 565 statute miles.
The Super Mac race is still underway, and final results are yet to be determined.
