Before you boardPolicies
Good to know.
01 How it works
- After you book your charter experience, you will receive a confirmation email with the details of your upcoming charter such as time, location, parking information, different locations you can go to, guidelines, safety information, what to bring, etc.
- Popular destinations include: the Playpen, Monroe Harbor, and the Chicago River (please keep in mind the Chicago River is incredibly busy Friday-Sunday which may result in an hour wait entering and exiting the lock).
- Upon booking, you will receive a list of current approved captains for hire, which vessels they are approved for, as well as instructions on how to reach out.
- Alternatively, if you would like to supply your own captain, please email contact@knotmyboatcharters.com with the captains credentials.
- The boat and crew will be yours to use for the duration of the rental period while you enjoy time on the water.
02 Capacity Explained
- The capacity of a boat is the number of people it can legally accommodate. This is determined by the US Coast Guard (USCG) and is based on the number of passengers, crew, and the size of the vessel.
- Our Bareboat charters accommodate up to 1 charterer (the renter) + 12 passengers (13 guests overall). Infants and youth guests are counted as passengers.
- Please note that the hired Captain/Crew underneath the charterer are not considered passengers.
03 Things to keep in mind
- Per USCG compliance and bareboat regulations, bareboat charters may accommodate up to 12 passengers. Infants and youth guests are counted as passengers.
- Each vessel has a bathroom on board.
- We love animals, however, to ensure their safety, we do not allow them on board unless they are service animals. All service animals need to have a life jacket worn on board.
- Children 13 years and younger are required to wear a life jacket at all times.
- Our yachts have exceptional sound systems. Guests are welcome to play their own music by connecting their cell phones via bluetooth.
- Guests are welcome to provide their own food and clear beverages. Onboard we provide a complimentary cooler, full refrigerator/freezer and bottle opener for you to use.

- Towel if planning on swimming or getting in the water
