Friends & Good Times
Chicago Yacht Charters for Friends & Groups
Not every charter needs a reason. Sometimes the best plan is no plan — just good friends, open water, and the Chicago skyline. Pick a boat, pick a day, and let the lake do the rest.

Friends & Good Times FAQ
Do we need a reason to book?
No. Most of our charters are just friends who want a day on the water. No occasion required.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Most vessels allow BYOB (cans and plastic only — no glass). You can also add professional catering through our add-on marketplace.
What if our group size changes?
You can update your guest count up to 48 hours before departure, as long as you stay within the vessel's capacity limit.
