   40' Luxury Yacht for 11 Guests – 3 Available! Weekday Discount!

   Can’t recommend Captain John enough! We chartered with him for an annual friends’ boat day and we all agreed that this was the best experience we’ve ever had. He was professional, flexible in terms of scheduling, and the boat was spacious and comfortable for all 11 of us. His captain and deckhands took great care of us, always making me sure we were safe, having fun, and had drinks and snacks on hand. We can’t wait to charter with Captain John again, thank you for a perfect day!

   'Genius' 40' Sea Ray Sundancer Captained Charter with all amenities in Chicago!

   We had an incredible July 4th charter with Danyelle! Her crew was extremely professional and made sure our group of 12—celebrating a pre-wedding event—was well taken care of. The trip included a beautiful skyline tour followed by relaxing time at the Playpen, with stunning views all around. The photos came out amazing too. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

   Danyelle and her crew ( James & Davion ) gave me the best 24th birthday I could ask for. They were very attentive and showed us the best time while also keeping us safe. We didn't want our charter to end. They showed us a tour of the city and took us to play pen. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! We will definitely be doing another trip with them. 10/10 recommend.

   I highly recommend booking Captain Anthony for your boat day! He is a great host and made sure that our group didn’t have to worry about anything and could just have fun. Our friends are still raving about how much they enjoyed it. Thank you Captain Anthony!

   **Affordable Luxury Chicago Boat Rentals for 12 on Lake Michigan / Playpen**

   I cannot say enough good things about Bad Beaches Only! Planning a bachelorette party can be chaotic, but this company made everything SO easy. Their communication was top-tier, and they were always quick to respond to my questions. The day of the boat charter, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome and ready to have the best time. A huge shout-out to our captain, Mike, who was truly fantastic and the perfect guide for our adventure. This women-owned business is truly exceptional, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and professional charter experience.
