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.

This cruise party was absolutely perfect. I will definitely return back to book again.

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 boat 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 boat 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 boat 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.
