Experience Chicago from the water aboard Dolce Mare, the perfect luxury yacht for unforgettable celebrations, relaxing cruises, and special occasions on Lake Michigan. Whether you're planning a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, corporate outing, or simply a fun day with friends, this stylish yacht provides the ideal setting. Bring your favorite food, drinks, and playlist, then sit back while you enjoy the skyline, fresh air, and incredible views. Complimentary water toys, including a floating Lily Pad and water saddles, make it easy to cool off and enjoy the lake.
Your charter departs from 31st Street Harbor, one of Chicago's most convenient marinas. A USCG-licensed captain is required but not included in the listed price. Choose from our list of pre-approved captains (budget $100–$125 per hour, paid directly to the captain) or bring your own qualified USCG MMC 100-Ton Master with prior owner approval.
Charter Rates
Monday–Thursday: $200/hour (flexible scheduling)
Friday: $225/hour
Saturday: $300/hour
Sunday: $250/hour
A $200 fuel fee applies to every trip, with an additional $100 for Chicago River cruises. Wednesday evening fireworks cruises are available as 3-hour charters from 6:30 PM–9:30 PM, and holiday or special event pricing may apply (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Air & Water Show, and more).
Please note that Chicago River cruises are unavailable after 2:00 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We do not coordinate raft-ups with other charter boats. A 20% gratuity for the captain and crew is customary.
Your safety is always our top priority. Charters operate rain or shine, but if weather conditions are deemed unsafe by the captain, we'll work with you to reschedule whenever possible.
