What a perfect day out on Lake Michigan! We felt like kings and queens and the boat was as classy as the service. Eleven out of ten experience.

You won’t find more genuine hosts who want nothing less than the best experience for their guests. Whether it’s a slow cruise down the river or an anchored stay in the Play Pen, you’re sure to be charmed by the magic of the city. They think of everything so you don’t have to, a stress free experience. 10/10 would recommend.

We may be the Second City but Chi City Charters is second to none! Best boat on the lake, period!

We had the best time cruising along the Chicago River on Lock Leader. Our captain and crew were utter professionals and taught us a lot about Lake Michigan and Chicago. Highly recommended to see the city
from a different view.

La Nascita delle Sale da Gioco in Italia
L’evoluzione delle sale da gioco in penisola italiana mostra una combinazione unica di tradizione, identita culturale e progresso, mescolata al allure del scommesse.
I giochi di fortuna presenta origini radicate nella cultura italiana, rimontando all’epoca romana, quando i scommesse su dadi e giocate costituivano un elemento chiave della vita sociale. Le iniziali espressioni di spazio ludico, come ambienti destinati al svago, si manifestarono nel Seicento. Venezia, nota per il suo spirito innovativo, allesti il primo ambiente di scommesse pubblico al globo, noto come Ridotto, creato nel 17° secolo. Questo luogo posizionato nel edificio Dandolo, rappresentava un luogo per patrizi, commercianti e fornendo un spazio regolamentato per il attivita ludica. La parola stessa “casino” proviene dall’vocabolario italiano “casa”, considerata come un spazio ricreativo per intrattenimenti. La popolarita del bdm bet Ridotto si espanse presto, suscitando interesse su cio che attualmente nomineremmo i strutture ludiche di prim’ordine, nonostante in quel periodo il principio di disciplina rimaneva assente. L’impatto di citta lagunare si espanse, rendendo il attivita ludica un rappresentazione di classe e divertimento.
Sebbene il successo iniziale del centro Ridotto, esso fu chiuso nel anno 1774 per via a timori etici e sociali delle enti pubblici. Tuttavia, la cessazione non arresto la dedizione degli residenti italiani per il scommesse. Nel corso dei secoli, il attivita di rischio si modifico, scoprendo alternative modalita in locande e gruppi esclusivi, in molti casi sotto la supervisione delle istituzioni. Questo periodo della storia mostra come il allure per i attivita ludiche fosse incorporato nella tradizione italiana, seppure in assenza di enti ufficiali come i moderni siti di azzardo online.

What’s a bareboat charter?
A bareboat charter, as defined by the United States Coast Guard (USCG), is an arrangement granting the Charterer (the individual renting the yacht) temporary ownership and use of a vessel for a specified duration. Under this agreement, the Charterer assumes responsibility for the vessel, their guests, hiring their own Crew, and providing their own food and beverages.
It is important to note that the Charterer may either operate the vessel themselves if they possess the required credentials or choose to hire their own Captain and Crew.
However, it is crucial to adhere to the maximum passenger limit of 12 individuals for a bareboat chartered vessel.
What is the maximum yacht capacity?
For bareboat charters, the maximum capacity is 12 passengers, excluding the Captain and Crew.
The hired Captain and Crew are not counted as passengers. So, to clarify, the Charterer can bring a maximum of 11 guests.
Please keep in mind that infants and children are included in the total capacity count. Your Captain will count as an additional person, and the Crew can range from 1 to 2 people, depending on your specific requirements.
How can I find a captain and crew?
Once your booking is confirmed, Chi City Charters will provide you with a selection of qualified and approved Captains who have extensive knowledge of the yacht.
Our Captains can offer valuable recommendations regarding the number of Crew members you may require, depending on your specific charter plan. They have a network of experienced Crew members who are familiar with the yacht, and they can enhance your charter experience by providing additional safety, assistance, and service throughout your journey.
Alternatively, Charterers are welcome to provide their own certified Captain. It’s important to note that Captains are independent contractors hired directly by the Charterer and are not affiliated with or employed by Chi City Charters.
What are the captain fees/rates?
The rate for Captains typically ranges from $80 to $250 per hour, depending on their skills, experience, and qualifications, and this does not include gratuity.
It is customary to show appreciation to your hired Captain and Crew by leaving a gratuity of 18-25% of the total charter price (excluding the Captain’s hourly rate). Payment and gratuity should be made directly to your hired Captain.
Captains usually accept cash or payment through peer-to-peer platforms such as ApplePay, Venmo, Zelle, and others.
What payment methods are accepted?
At Chi City Charters, we accept all major credit cards, including ApplePay, Venmo, Zelle, direct deposit, and cash, providing you with flexible payment options.
However, please be aware that we are unable to accept payment on behalf of your hired Captain or Crew, as they are separate contractors hired directly by the Charterer.
We recommend discussing the preferred method of payment with your hired Captain to ensure a smooth transaction process that aligns with their payment preferences.
