## Chartering vs. Membership: Which Is Better For You?

Renting a boat gives you a day. Membership gives you the whole summer.

With Knot My Boat Charters' Membership Program, you're not just booking hours—you're unlocking
priority access, concierge-planned outings, exclusive events, and the freedom to say yes every
time the lake calls. It's not about spending less. It's about getting more out of every moment
on the water.

# Where ItAll Began

Chicago's Premier Yacht Charter Company

From a single boat in 2019 to a full-service marine hospitality group redefining luxury on Lake Michigan.

Our Story

## Built on Passion. Driven by Hospitality.

Founded in 2019 by Sommy Irani, Knot My Boat Charters began as a single-boat operation with a vision to make luxury yachting accessible and effortless.

Within just a few years, KMBC became Chicago's largest private yacht charter company, now operating 22 vessels and hosting 20,000+ guests per season.

What started as an entrepreneurial experiment evolved into a full-scale hospitality ecosystem, uniting event planning, concierge service, and curated experiences both on and off the water.

The Next Chapter

## Introducing KMBC Marine Group

To fuel continued innovation, KMBC launched KMBC Marine Group — the company's dealer and IP division. Through a strategic partnership with A&M Manufacturing, KMBC created the proprietary "Montauk" catamaran design, offering other operators access to the same proven, event-ready model that defines our own fleet.

also choose your own qualified Operator/Captain, provided their credentials are approved
by us prior to your charter.

# Cancellations

## Weather Policy

To prioritize guest safety, Knot My Boat Charters reserves the right to determine whether
weather conditions are charterable or uncharterable for operation. Uncharterable conditions
typically include, but are not limited to, severe storms, small craft advisories, gale
warnings, high winds, or large waves. Light rain, brief passing storms, and cooler
temperatures are considered charterable conditions.

If weather conditions are deemed uncharterable, our team will work with the Charterer to
postpone or reschedule the trip for a later date. In such cases, Knot My Boat Charters will
issue a non-expiring rescheduling credit (exclusive of catering) to the Charterer, redeemable
toward a future boat rental of equal or lesser value.

## Cancellation Policy

All client cancellations must be submitted in writing by the Charterer to
contact@knotmyboatcharters.com and must include the Charterer's Full Name, Charter Date, and
Reason for Cancellation. Oral cancellations are not valid unless confirmed in writing by the
Company.

### Cancellation Fees:

- **60 days or more prior:** 10% is non-refundable
- **30 to 59 days prior:** 25% is non-refundable
- **15 to 29 days prior:** 50% is non-refundable
- **14 days or fewer:** 100% is non-refundable and immediately due

**Please note:** All rescheduled charters are exempt from the above cancellation schedule.
This means that once a charter has been rescheduled to a future date, it cannot be canceled under
the original cancellation terms (for example, rescheduling and then canceling 14 days or more in
advance does not qualify for a refund).

We shall not be liable to You or to any third-party for any modification, price change,
suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

### SECTION 5 - PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (if applicable)

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These
products or services may have limited quantities and may be subject to Cancellation according
to Our Weather & Cancellation Policy.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of Our products or Services to
any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case
basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that We offer.

### SECTION 6 – DEPOSIT PRICING AND FINALIZATION

Your charter reservation is not confirmed until You sign and return Your Charter Agreement to
your respective Knot My Boat Charters representative and provide payment in full for Your
Services.

Knot My Boat Charters may offer You the option to place a deposit, which allows You the
ability to purchase Services at certain pricing (“Deposit Pricing”), subject to availability
and Knot My Boat Charters’ Payment Plan Option (the “Payment Plan Option”) over a specified
amount of time. Knot My Boat Charters’s Payment Plan Option allows You to purchase certain
Services and pay for the total amount due (the “Balance”) over a specified amount of time
(“Payment Plan Payments”). Further, by selecting the Payment Plan Option, You agree to and
acknowledge the following:

“I authorize Knot My Boat Charters, it’s representatives and service providers, to initiate
electronic charges from the account I designated at the time of purchase to make the Payment
Plan Payments due under the Payment Plan Option on the dates designated by the Payment Plan
Option I selected. Further, I understand that one missed payment may result in cancellation of
the Services to be provided by Knot My Boat Charters, it representatives and service
providers. Upon a missed payment, the Balance may be due immediately and Services will be
subject to cancellation for non-payment by Knot My Boat Charters, it representatives or its
service providers.”

Due to high demand and limited inventory, Your selected charter vessel and/or Services are
subject to change (availability permitting) by Knot My Boat Charters until Your Balance is
paid in full or until You are within accordance of the Payment Plan Option, if offered.

### SECTION 7 - ACCURACY OF BILLING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION

We reserve the right to refuse any booking You place with Us. We may, in Our sole discretion,
limit or cancel bookings per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may
include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or
orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that We make a change
to or cancel an order, We may attempt to notify You by contacting the e-mail and/or billing
address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or
prohibit orders that, in Our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or
distributors of our Services.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all
purchases made at Our store. You agree to promptly update Your account and other information,
including Your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that We can
complete Your transactions and contact You as needed.

### SECTION 8 - OPTIONAL TOOLS

We may provide You with access to third-party tools over which We neither monitor nor have any
control nor input.

You acknowledge and agree that We provide access to such tools ”as is” and “as available”
without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement.
We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to Your use of optional
third-party tools.

Any use by You of optional tools offered through the site is entirely at Your own risk and
discretion and You should ensure that You are familiar with and approve of the terms on which
tools are provided by third-party provider(s).

We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the website (including,
the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall also be
subject to these Terms & Conditions.

### SECTION 9 – WEATHER & CANCELLATION POLICY

**Weather Policy:**

To prioritize guest safety, Knot My Boat Charters reserves the right to determine whether
weather conditions are charterable or uncharterable for operation. Uncharterable conditions
typically include, but are not limited to, severe storms, small craft advisories, gale
warnings, high winds, or large waves. Light rain, brief passing storms, and cooler
temperatures are considered charterable conditions.

If weather conditions are deemed uncharterable, our team will work with the Charterer to
postpone or reschedule the trip for a later date. In such cases, Knot My Boat Charters will
issue a non-expiring rescheduling credit (exclusive of catering) to the Charterer, redeemable
toward a future boat rental of equal or lesser value.

**Cancellation Policy:**

All client cancellations must be submitted in writing by the Charterer to
contact@knotmyboatcharters.com and must include the Charterer's Full Name, Charter Date, and
Reason for Cancellation. Oral cancellations are not valid unless confirmed in writing by the
Company.

**Cancellation Fees:**

- 60 days or more prior: 10% is non-refundable
- 30 to 59 days prior: 25% is non-refundable
- 15 to 29 days prior: 50% is non-refundable
- 14 days or fewer: 100% is non-refundable and immediately due

Please note that all rescheduled charters are exempt from the above cancellation schedule.
This means that once a charter has been rescheduled to a future date, it cannot be canceled
under the original cancellation terms (for example, rescheduling and then canceling 14 days
or more in advance does not qualify for a refund).

**Chargebacks:**

You agree and acknowledge that You are responsible for any chargebacks initiated by any of
Your guests who make payments on Your behalf. Further, all payments made by You are
non-refundable outside of the above-mentioned cancellation policy schedule as outlined in
\[Section 9\]. You acknowledge and agree that We have devoted significant time and resources to
plan, book, and organize the charter for You, and as such, any non-refundable payments made to
Us are to compensate Us for such work, regardless of the reason for cancellation (outside for
approved cancellation requests as outlined in \[Section 9\]).

**Requested Changes & Captain Fees:**

Some changes to your charter may result in additional charges. You will be required to approve
any such additional charges in writing and such charges must be made prior to the changes
being made. If Your Captain requires or requests an additional fee for making a change, You
will be responsible for transmitting payment directly to the Captain as the Captain is
directly employed by You and not by Knot My Boat Charters. This supersedes any written
language by Knot My Boat Charters allowing for a more favorable change policy.

**Cancellation Fees and Refunds:**

Any cancellation fee is subject to offset of any damages or amounts owed to Us or third
parties (i.e. amounts Knot My Boat Charters is not entitled to recover or which must be paid
notwithstanding the cancellation).

Refunds will not be available if You fail to show up for any aspect of Your Services booking for any reason, including without limitation:

- A medical emergency
- Claims of unused or unsatisfactory transportation
- Claims of unused or unsatisfactory parking
- Denied access to the docking harbor and/or docking location of the docking harbor
- Denied Services because You failed to provide full and/or accurate personal information to Us, such as an acceptable form of ID or passport
- Untimely requests for cancellation
- Unsatisfactory third-party Services, Captain, or suppliers

Available refunds may take up to fourteen (14) days (sometimes longer) after the scheduled
charter for the refund to be processed by Us and received by You.

### SECTION 10 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Certain content, products and services available via Our Services may include materials from
third-parties.

with Us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and We do
not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or
websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third-parties.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, services,
resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party
websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure You
understand them before You engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or

You agree that We may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute,
translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that You forward to Us. We are and
shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay
compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that We determine in Our
sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic,

Terms & Conditions.

You agree that Your comments will not violate any right of any third-party, including
copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You further
agree that Your comments will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene
material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the

pretend to be someone other than Yourself, or otherwise mislead Us or third-parties as to the
origin of any comments. You are solely responsible for any comments You make and their
accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by You or
any third-party.

### SECTION 12 - PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your submission of personal information through Our website is governed by Our Privacy Policy.

### SECTION 13 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally there may be information on Our site or in the Service that contains
typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions,
pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability. We
reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, and to change or update
information or cancel orders if any information in the Service or on any related website is
inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after You have submitted Your order).

We undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the Service or on any
related website, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law.
No specified update or refresh date applied in the Service or on any related website, should
be taken to indicate that all information in the Service or on any related website has been

violating any of the prohibited uses.

Permission is granted to temporarily download copies of materials (information PDFs, pictures,
etc) on Our website for personal, non-commercial viewing only. This is the grant of a license
and under this license you may not: (a) modify or copy the materials; (b) use the materials

as a result of the use of the Service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or
otherwise made available via the Service, even if advised of their possibility. Because some

## Everything You Need to Know on How to Rent a Boat in Chicago

Chicago, known for its stunning skyline, vibrant culture, and iconic architecture, is a city
blessed with an extensive waterfront and a flourishing boating scene. If you're looking to
immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Michigan or explore the meandering Chicago River,
renting a boat is the perfect way to experience the city from a unique perspective.

At [Knot My Boat Charters](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/), we understand the allure of boating in Chicago and the convenience
that boat rentals offer. Whether you're a local seeking weekend adventure or a visitor eager
to discover the city's waterways, this comprehensive guide is designed to provide you with all
the information you need to make the most of your boat rental experience in the Windy City.

## Chicago Boating Requirements & Permits

Before you embark on your boating adventure, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the
necessary requirements and permits. Chicago has specific regulations in place to ensure
safety and compliance on the water. In this section, we'll walk you through the process of
obtaining a boating license and any age restrictions that may apply. We'll also delve into
the city's rules and regulations, emphasizing the importance of adhering to them to ensure a
safe and enjoyable boating experience.

### Obtaining a Boating License and Age Restrictions

If you're planning to operate a boat in Chicago, it's important to understand the process of
obtaining a boating license and any age restrictions that may apply. The state of Illinois
requires boaters to hold a valid Watercraft Operator's Permit, commonly referred to as a
boating license.

Age restrictions for operating a boat in Chicago and Illinois vary depending on the type and
size of the vessel. Generally, anyone 12 years of age or older can operate a motorboat with up
to 10 horsepower without supervision. However, for individuals between the ages of 12 and 17,
restrictions may apply to operating a motorboat with more than 10 horsepower or certain types
of personal watercraft.

To obtain a boating license in Chicago, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. **Complete a boating safety course:** First, you'll need to successfully complete
    an approved boating safety course. These courses provide valuable knowledge about boating laws,
    navigation rules, safety equipment, and emergency procedures. They are designed to ensure that
    boaters have the necessary skills and knowledge to operate a boat safely.
2. **Pass the boating safety exam:** After completing the boating safety course, you'll
    need to pass a boating safety exam. The exam typically covers topics such as navigation, boating
    laws, and safety procedures. It's important to study and prepare for the exam to ensure success.
3. **Submit the application:** Once you've passed the exam, you'll need to fill out
    an application for the Watercraft Operator's Permit. The application can usually be submitted
    online or through the appropriate boating agency in Illinois.
4. **Pay the necessary fees:** There may be fees associated with obtaining the boating
    license. Be sure to check the specific requirements and fee structure in Chicago or the state
    of Illinois.

It's essential to familiarize yourself with the age-specific regulations and requirements set
by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources or the relevant boating authorities in
Chicago. Adhering to these age restrictions ensures the safety of both the operator and other
boaters on the water.

### Understanding Chicago's Rules and Regulations for Boating

Chicago has specific rules and regulations in place to promote safe boating practices and
protect the waterways. Understanding and adhering to these regulations is vital to ensure a
safe and enjoyable boating experience. Here are some key regulations to be aware of:

- **Speed limits:** Chicago imposes speed limits on its waterways to ensure the safety
of all boaters. It's important to familiarize yourself with the designated speed limits and adhere
to them while operating a boat.
- **No-wake zones:** Certain areas in Chicago's waterways are designated as "no-wake
zones." These zones require boaters to operate at idle speed, creating minimal wake to prevent
shoreline erosion and ensure safety in congested areas.
- **Navigation rules:** Just like on the roads, there are navigation rules that govern
the behavior of boaters on the water. It's essential to understand and follow these rules, including
right-of-way protocols, signaling, and safe passing distances.
- **Alcohol and drug regulations:** Boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
is strictly prohibited in Chicago. It's illegal to operate a boat with a blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) above the legal limit, and violators can face severe penalties.
- **Safety equipment requirements:** Chicago mandates that all boats carry appropriate
safety equipment, such as life jackets, fire extinguishers, sound-producing devices (like horns
or whistles), and visual distress signals. These requirements are in place to ensure the safety
of everyone on board.

Remember, regulations may vary depending on the specific waterways within Chicago, such as
Lake Michigan or the Chicago River. It's crucial to familiarize yourself with the rules and
regulations specific to your boating destination to avoid any legal issues and promote safe
boating practices.

### Considering Weather Conditions and Preparedness for Safe Boating

When planning a boating excursion in Chicago, it's essential to consider the weather
conditions and be prepared for safe boating. Here are some insights and tips to help you
navigate Chicago's weather patterns and ensure a safe experience on the water:

- **Monitor weather forecasts:** Stay updated with the latest weather forecasts before
heading out on the water. Pay attention to wind speed, wave height, and any advisories or warnings
issued by the National Weather Service or local authorities. Unfavorable weather conditions can
significantly impact boating safety.
- **Dress appropriately:** Dress in layers and wear appropriate attire for the weather
conditions. It's important to have protection against wind, rain, and potential temperature changes
while on the water. Don't forget to bring sun protection, such as hats and sunscreen, for sunny
days.
- **Check your equipment:** Before setting sail, thoroughly inspect your boat and
ensure that all safety equipment, navigation instruments, and communication devices are in proper
working condition. Carry a marine VHF radio or a reliable communication device to stay connected
in case of emergencies.
- **File a float plan:** Inform someone reliable about your boating plans, including
your intended route, departure, and arrival times. This information can be crucial in case of
unexpected situations or emergencies.
- **Practice safe boating habits:** Always operate your boat at a safe and reasonable
speed, taking into account the weather conditions and water traffic. Be mindful of other boaters,
swimmers, and wildlife. Avoid reckless behavior and follow navigation rules to prevent accidents.
- **Be prepared for emergencies:** Carry a well-stocked first aid kit, extra fuel,
sufficient food and water supplies, and any necessary medications. Familiarize yourself with
emergency procedures, including how to respond to a person overboard situation or engine failure.

By considering weather conditions, preparing adequately, and adhering to safe boating
practices, you can ensure a memorable and secure boating experience in Chicago's waterways.

When planning a group party or a special celebration on a rental boat in Chicago, having a
captain onboard can significantly enhance your time on the water. In this guide, we will explore
the benefits of hiring a captain for your Lake Michigan boat rental. From expert safety and
local insights to personalized itineraries and pricing, let's dive into the advantages that come
with a seasoned captain at the helm.

### Why Hire A Captain for Group Party Boat Rentals?

#### Celebrate Safely & Get Closer to the Fun

Captained boat rentals allow everyone to fully participate in festivities, whether it's a
birthday, engagement, or a special day out with friends and family. At Knot My Boat Charters,
we offer the freedom to hire your favorite captain from a list of pre-approved experts who are
familiar with our boats and have undergone safety protocol testing. Our vessels can legally
accommodate up to 12 people, and the hired captain and crew are not considered passengers but
independent contractors. We understand that this may be a new experience for some individuals,
especially if you are unfamiliar with Chicago and the Lake. However, we have taken steps to
ensure that the process is simple and straightforward.

![girl with her hand in the air on the bow of a boat with a view of the Chicago skyline](https://res.cloudinary.com/dlobqp00u/image/upload/q_auto,w_1000/v1738198154/Chicago_Skyline_Yacht_Rental_Knot_My_Boat_Charters-1920w-2_t7szu6.jpg)

With the captain taking care of navigation and logistics, you'll be free to immerse yourselves
in the excitement of Chicago's iconic Playpen, a popular spot for avid boaters and party goers
to anchor and enjoy a blast in the sun. Moreover, don't miss the chance to witness the
breathtaking Navy Pier fireworks every Wednesday and Saturday night throughout the summer.

#### Discover Local Insights & Hidden Gems

Our captains have an intimate understanding of the area, enabling them to take you to
picturesque spots that you might otherwise miss. Enjoy the city's unique charm and discover
new perspectives on well-known landmarks from the water.

![a women and man with their arms around each other in front of the Chicago skyline](https://res.cloudinary.com/dlobqp00u/image/upload/q_auto,w_1000/v1738198644/Chicago_Playpen_Yacht_Rental_with_Captain-1920w_m5dv3t.jpg)![four women laughing and posing on the bow of a boat with blue water in the background](https://res.cloudinary.com/dlobqp00u/image/upload/q_auto,w_1000/v1738198641/Party_Boat_Rental_with_Captain_Chicago_IL-1920w_dijwpj.jpg)

#### Get Customized Itineraries and Flexibility

Before departing from the dock, it's important to have a discussion with your captain about
the expectations for your charter. The recommended captains from Knot My Boat Charters are
highly knowledgeable about the iconic locations and timing that can be experienced on the
Chicago waters. There is a lot to see in Chicago from the water, so it's beneficial to have a
schedule in place to make the most of your time. The captains can provide you with examples of
common routes and adjust them according to your reservation time. For those interested in
cruising down the Chicago River, please note that it will require more time, and we recommend
booking a 4-hour reservation.

### How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Boat with a Captain?

One common question from guests often pertains to the cost of hiring a captain. Typically,
captains charge between $75 and $120 per hour before gratuity. It is customary to leave a
gratuity for your hired captain and crew, amounting to 15%-20% of the total charter price (not
to be confused with the captain's hourly rate). The payment for the captain's services and
gratuity can be provided directly to the captain you have hired.

#### Check Availability & View Prices

Our fleet comprises 17 iconic vessels, ranging from 33' sport cruisers to 70' yachts, ensuring
that we have the perfect boat to suit your needs. At Knot My Boat Charters, we prioritize
customization, guest safety and client satisfaction, providing a comprehensive and
personalized yacht charter service that is both enjoyable and secure.

to get started. Select the vessel type from our range of options, including sport cruisers and
luxurious yachts, and choose the desired charter duration (3 or 4 hours). Provide the number
of guests and your personal information, and proceed with your preferred payment method.

#### The Captain's Checklist: Dos and Don'ts for a Perfect Charter

Upon booking a charter through our website, you will receive a confirmation email containing
important information such as the date, time, and the number of people aboard your trip.
Within this email, you will find a list of six pre-approved captains who are familiar with our
vessels. These captains have extensive experience using our boats and have also undergone
safety protocol testing conducted by our dock team. If you have a specific captain in mind who
is not listed, you have the option to provide your own credentialed captain. In such cases,
you should contact the email address provided for approval. It's important to note that since
the captains are independent contractors, they are employed by the charterers. This
arrangement is in accordance with the terms of the United States Coast Guard, which consider
the charterer as the temporary owner of the vessel for the duration of the bareboat charter.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that our vessels can accommodate up to 12 people legally,
and the hired captain and crew are not considered passengers.

We strongly recommend reaching out to a captain as soon as you receive the charter booking
confirmation email. Since the captains are not employees of Knot My Boat Charters, we do not
have access to their weekly schedules. Therefore, it is best to plan ahead, especially if you
want to secure a captain, particularly during favorable weather conditions. When requesting a
captain's services using the provided contact information, you will receive a confirmation
email indicating that your request is pending. Please note that this email does not confirm
your captain's availability; it simply means that your request has been sent and is awaiting a
response. It is advisable to allow captains 24-48 hours to respond to your request.

To avoid confusion or double booking, please make sure that the information entered in the
captain request matches your charter booking details, including the client name, date, time,
and type of boat booked. Once your captain approves your request, you will receive another
email confirming their hire. At this point, you can communicate directly with your captain
regarding any questions or specific needs leading up to your charter. It is essential to stay
attentive to any messages sent by the captain. However, if your chosen captain is unavailable
for your charter, you will receive an email declining your hire request. In such cases, please
request another captain from the list provided in the confirmation email.

Recently the city of Chicago imposed new COVID guidelines for all boaters in the city of Chicago
effective May 1, 2021. After speaking with both the city and Chicago Harbors, we were advised that
these restrictions would be temporary and further guidance would be issued shortly after the initial
announcement. Further guidance was issued this past week. The mayor of Chicago stated that all
COVID-related guidelines and restrictions should be lifted by July 4, 2021. Please note, however,
that this is not a guaranteed or confirmed date.

While we do expect these restrictions to lift entirely by early July, the Chicago Harbors is lacking
a lot of direction from the city and that the Chicago Harbors \[and ourselves\] are all doing our best
to navigate and perceive these new rules. You can view Chicago Harbors' announcement here.

### Boat Charter Mask Policy

Charter clients and their guests must all wear masks while on harbor grounds, including when
outdoors walking around the harbor, onto their dock, to the dock restrooms, and after returning
to the harbor at the completion of their outing. Guests may remove their masks once their charter
has left the harbor, but must put their masks back on once the boat has returned and docked back
at harbor grounds. We will have extra masks on board in case yours gets misplaced during your
outing. We are here to help and want you to remember that this mandate is temporary.

### Sanitation Procedures

Sanitizer stations have been installed at the harbor offices and at every dock gate. Harbor staff
will also be regularly cleaning high-touch point surfaces at the harbors.

### Increased Inquiries for our Larger Boat Charters

With this recent news, we are expecting almost all pontoon rental, deck boats, and smaller
riverboat companies to be deeply affected by this change, reducing their capacities to as low as
5 guests before a captain. As the 12 to 5 guests reduction is quite sizable and considering the
large market share these smaller vessels hold in the Chicago boat rental space, we are expecting
to see a surge in inquiries as the supply of vessels that can accommodate up to 12 guests before
a captain/crew has now dropped drastically in the city. With this information, we recommend
guests book their dates out in advance as we are quickly booking up for the summer.

### Conclusion

We appreciate your understanding of these new guidelines and look forward to hosting you this summer
in Chicago!

# Old Town

Neighborhood Guide

Where to Stay

## Hotel Recommendations

Staying near Old Town keeps weekends tightly connected. While accommodations often sit just outside the immediate corridor, the neighborhood's compact layout allows guests to move easily between dining, nightlife, and event venues without relying heavily on rideshare.

Celebrations

## Bachelor & Bachelorette Weekends

Old Town is well suited for social weekends that blend brunch, casual dinners, and late nights in one place. Groups often start the day with relaxed meals before settling into Wells Street for the evening. Gussie's Italian and La Fournette provide dependable gathering points early on.

As the night builds, Old Town Ale House and nearby spots keep energy high without spreading the group out. The density of venues makes it easy to move together and adjust plans on the fly.

Special Occasions

## Wedding Weekend Flow

Wedding weekends in Old Town feel classic and social. Welcome drinks and rehearsal dinners frequently take place at familiar neighborhood institutions such as Topo Gigio, Orso's, and Kamehachi. Private parties at The VIG offer flexibility without formal staging.

Comedy and cultural programming through The Second City often becomes part of the weekend flow, giving guests an easy group activity between events.

Seasonal

## Holidays & Neighborhood Events

Holiday weekends amplify Old Town's street level energy. Signature events like the Old Town Art Fair and Wells Street Art Festival bring crowds into the neighborhood while maintaining its local character.

Ongoing coordination and seasonal programming from the Old Town Triangle Association, along with events at the Second City, shape the neighborhood's annual rhythm and keep weekends active without losing cohesion.

# River North

Neighborhood Guide

River North is one of Chicago's most concentrated weekend neighborhoods. The river, nightlife, and hotel density create a setting where plans stay fluid and groups can move easily from day to night without leaving the area.

Where to Stay

## Hotel Recommendations

Staying in River North keeps the weekend centralized. The Godfrey Hotel and Moxy Chicago both place guests within walking distance of dining, nightlife, and the river. With most venues clustered nearby, groups can minimize rideshare use and let plans evolve naturally throughout the weekend.

## Bachelor & Bachelorette Weekends

River North is built for celebration driven weekends. Days often start with relaxed meals near the river before shifting toward boat access or afternoon drinks. RPM Seafood and The Smith are common gathering points that allow groups to settle in without rushing.

As the evening builds, nightlife stays tightly packed. TAO Chicago, Joy District, Hubbard Inn, and The Underground create a natural progression from dinner to late night without requiring coordination across neighborhoods. The density keeps groups together and momentum consistent.

Special Occasions

## Wedding Weekend Flow

For wedding weekends, River North functions as a reliable host neighborhood. Welcome parties and rehearsal dinners often take place close to hotels, allowing guests to arrive early and linger. Venues like The Ivy Room and Gibsons Italia offer polished settings without feeling disconnected.

Rooftop gatherings at LondonHouse Rooftop are common for pre wedding or post ceremony moments. Support partners such as Revel Global Events and Kehoe Designs are frequently involved in shaping the overall weekend experience.

Seasonal

## Holidays & Neighborhood Events

Holiday weekends heighten River North's energy without changing its layout. Fireworks weekends, summer holidays, and seasonal programming draw crowds toward the river and rooftops. Restaurants off the Riverwalk become central gathering points, while hotels often host their own events during peak weekends.

Food & Drink

## Where to Eat & Drink

River North's dining scene supports groups at every stage of the weekend. Restaurants and lounges are designed to accommodate shared tables, extended dinners, and late arrivals.

## Nearby Attractions

The river shapes much of River North's weekend flow. Walks along the Riverwalk, proximity to downtown landmarks, and rooftop views define the experience. Much of the neighborhood's activity is reinforced by programming and coordination through the River North Business Association, with additional visibility through local publications like Urban Matter.

We've broken it all down for you. Here's how to plan a seamless, unforgettable bachelor or
bachelorette party with Knot My Boat Charters—whether you're after a luxury Chicago yacht

will help you get the most out of your time on the water.

Whether you're planning one last big hurrah or celebrating the start of a new chapter in style,
there's no better way to send it than on the water. A private yacht party in Chicago sets the tone
for a memorable, elevated experience—and it beats the usual bar crawl, every time.

We've broken it all down for you. Here's how to plan a seamless, unforgettable bachelor or
bachelorette party with [Knot My Boat Charters](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/)—whether you're after a luxury Chicago yacht
rental, a full-service private boat charter, or a high-energy party boat rental that sets the
standard. From booking the right vessel to curating the perfect onboard experience, this guide
will help you get the most out of your time on the water.

Ready to create the ultimate celebration? [Book your yacht rental today](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/book) with [Knot My Boat Charters](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/) and start planning a bachelor or bachelorette party to remember.

## 1\. Choose Your Passengers

Whether you're keeping things low-key or aiming for a full-blown celebration, who you invite sets
the tone. These are the people you want around for the laughs, the photos, and the memories.
When it comes to a Chicago boat rental, your group size directly impacts the kind of boat you'll
need—so keep your numbers tight. Every vessel has a capacity limit, so headcount matters.

Some crews prefer an intimate circle. Others lean into a bigger bash with music, dancing, and
non-stop stories. We've got boat rental options that match both—just make sure your guest list
fits the occasion.

## 2\. Pick the Right Boat

No two boats are the same, and our fleet was built to accommodate all kinds of groups. From
sleek cruisers to multi-level party yachts, there's something for every style of
celebration—whether you're planning a Playpen takeover, a scenic Chicago river cruise, or a
laid-back day on the lake. We offer plenty of flexibility so you can charter a boat that fits your
occasion, group size, and schedule. Before you choose, understand this key detail:

![Friends enjoying drinks on a yacht charter in Chicago](https://res.cloudinary.com/dlobqp00u/image/upload/v1745541456/IMG_0326_q2ispo.jpg)

### Commercial vs. Bareboat – What's the Difference?

We offer two fleet types, each offering a different kind of experience depending on how
hands-on (or hands-off) you want to be when you [book a yacht](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/book):

- **Commercial Fleet:** Boats in this category come with a licensed captain—and sometimes
crew—so all you need to do is show up and celebrate. Perfect for bachelor/bachelorette
events, team outings, or anyone looking for a turnkey boat rental with zero stress.
- **Bareboat Fleet:** With this option, you rent the vessel itself and provide your own
qualified captain. It's flexible and often more customizable, but it does come with more
responsibility. Great for experienced boaters or groups wanting more control over their
private boat charter.

Both choices work great—it just depends on whether you want to kick back completely or be
more involved in the planning.

## 3\. Set Your Date & Time

Chicago's boating season runs from spring to early fall, and summer weekends go
fast—especially for groups booking a Chicago boat rental or planning a yacht party. The sooner
you reserve your yacht, the better your chances of landing your ideal date, boat size, and time
slot.

### Timing Options

- **Midday Cruises:** Soak up the sunshine, drop anchor in the Playpen, and enjoy summer
on full display. It's perfect for daytime events, bachelorette boat cruises, and lakefront
parties.
- **Sunset Sails:** Capture golden hour with the city skyline as your backdrop. Think
champagne toasts, great lighting, and unforgettable photos. This is one of our most
requested time slots—if this is your pick, schedule your cruise early.
- **Evening Charters:** Want to start on the water and end up in the city? Book a later sail
and cruise straight into Chicago nightlife. Great for groups who want to charter a boat as
a pregame.

No matter what time of day you choose, booking your charter early ensures you get the best
selection from our yacht rental fleet. Don't wait until the last minute—boats move quickly once
the season kicks in.

Don't miss out on your preferred date! [Book your bachelor or bachelorette yacht rental](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/book) early to secure the best options.

## 4\. Plan Food & Drinks

No great Chicago yacht party is complete without snacks that hit and drinks that keep things
moving. Whether you're booking a private yacht charter for a bachelorette or just locking in your
summer boat rental, smart planning around food and beverages sets the pace for the day.

![Bachelor party group enjoying a yacht cruise in Chicago](https://res.cloudinary.com/dlobqp00u/image/upload/v1745541456/IMG_0506_dk2a3i.jpg)

### Food

- **Bring Your Own:** Think low-maintenance—finger foods, wraps, fruit trays, and chips.
Avoid anything that melts, needs to stay hot, or creates a mess. Easy cleanup = more
time to party.
- **Catering for Boat Parties:** Want to keep it seamless? Ask us about add-on services from
trusted partners who can handle menu planning, prep, and delivery right to the dock.
This is a great move if you're planning a Playpen Chicago day or cruising with a larger
group.
- **Timing is Key:** If you're getting food delivered, line it up with your boarding window to
avoid delays or cold meals. Confirm drop-off instructions when you secure your charter
so everything runs smoothly.

### Drinks

- **BYOB-Friendly:** Most of our boat rentals allow you to bring your own alcohol. Just stock
what your group actually drinks—beer, seltzers, pre-mixed cocktails—and don't forget
mixers, ice, reusable cups, and bottle openers.
- **No Glass Allowed:** For safety reasons, keep it shatter-free. Cans or plastic only. If you're
including champagne or wine, look into boxed or plastic-bottle alternatives.
- **Assign a Lead:** Choose one person to manage the cooler situation and check inventory
before boarding. You don't want to run out halfway through your trip.

Looking for something more hands-off? We can help customize a package that includes food,
drinks, and even cleanup support—just let us know when you [book your charter](https://www.knotmyboatcharters.com/book).

## 5\. What to Wear

The goal? Comfortable, camera-ready, and weather-appropriate. You're going to be outdoors,
and there's always a chance someone ends up swimming. Whether it's a bachelorette boat
party or a full bachelor yacht party, looking the part is half the fun.

### For Her

- Matching outfits or custom suits make for iconic group shots—especially for your bride
squad.
- Sunglasses, sandals, and wide-brimmed hats? Absolutely.
- Heels? Skip 'em. You'll be barefoot or in slides the entire time.

### For Him

- Swim trunks, golf polos, or casual button-downs work great for your groom crew.
- Soft-soled shoes or barefoot—no boots, dress shoes, or anything with a hard sole.

### Essentials

- Sunscreen (non-negotiable—trust us)
- Towels (you'll need them, even if you don't plan on swimming)
- Change of clothes if you're heading out after your Chicago boat charter

Planning a full party weekend? Make sure everyone packs their day bag with whatever keeps
them feeling cool and confident. Go all-white, lean into a theme, or keep it relaxed—just make
sure your look works for both the deck and the group photos.

Need help choosing between laid-back lake style or something more coordinated? Let your
planner know when you book your experience—we've seen it all and can share what works best
for different party types.

## 6\. Bring the Right Energy

A boat creates the setting, but the people make the experience unforgettable. The energy your
group brings sets the mood from the second you step on deck—so come prepared to lead the
fun.

Bring a speaker, queue up a shared playlist, and throw in extras like themed décor, group
activities on a boat, or floating props to keep things lively. Whether you're checking boxes off
your bachelorette party ideas list or crafting a laid-back bridal party itinerary, these small
touches go a long way.

### Ways to Elevate

- **Themes:** Tropical, disco, nautical, all-white, or even 90s throwback—whatever direction
you go, a shared theme instantly unites the group and makes the photos pop.
- **Games:** Keep the energy up with on-deck games like charades,
"who's most likely to," or custom trivia. These are easy wins for any fun bachelor weekend plans.
- **Photos:** Designate someone as the official photographer, or bring a pro. Having
someone capture moments means less time worrying about phones and more time
making memories. Plus, it locks in those photo-worthy party setups.

Our crew is here to make the day smooth and enjoyable. Stay safe, stay respectful, and we'll
make sure your time on the water is unforgettable.
