Charter a 42' Luxury Mediterranean Yacht for 12 guests w/ Captain in Chicago

We went out to the Play Pen area for my sister's bachelorette celebration and had a wonderful time! Clear communication from John prior to the trip with access to 2 coolers and a restroom made it a convenient stay. Crew was very kind and made sure that we were safe, comfortable and happy! Great time!

My husband I were new to the marina, so it was a bit difficult to find it, and also to find parking. Fortunately, parking was very close to the dock, at 31st Street Beach Parking, and it seemed to be free though there were several parking meters there (they did not seem to work). The dock was easy to find once we were at the marina, and John immediately greeted us as we came near. His crew and he were super friendly and we started our voyage very soon after we boarded. His crew, Daryl and Tony, were very friendly, excellent guides, and the yacht was extremely well-kept and clean. While we were unsure about navigating around the boat, especially to the front of the boat, Daryl and Tony provided plenty of assistance and brought us our food and drinks at the front of the boat. Also, the view, perched on the upper deck was fantastic as well. We had a great view of the Chicago skyline as we navigated around McCormick Place, Museum Campus, Navy Pier, and LakeShore Drive near the John Hancock building. It surprisingly took my husband 12 years for him to enjoy a yacht in Chicago, and he and I live by the lake. This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable events we did in Chicago, and my husband and I will definitely do this again in the near future with John Valentino and his crew.

John and his crew are terrific. They listen to you, they operate a safe boat and go the extra mile for you. They helped refill our cups. They made sure we got the best view of the fireworks. They didn't rush us. The Captain Maynard fit the boat into a tight space when we docked at RPM Seafood to pick up dinner. They wiped down the front boat so we could sit up front. We loved the 31st street harbor as we got to see the city coming south to north and then north to south. Go with John and his crew. They will make your event an even more special event.

John and his team were super nice and communicated well throughout the rental process. Our initial trip was rescheduled due to weather but it was a smooth process. The Yacht itself is very nice, the crew and captain were friendly and worked with us on the boat route. Overall, we had a good time and would recommend it!

John and his crew were great! They made sure we were well taken care of. We had the best time on the water. John was very responsive before the charter and made everything easy from parking to departure. Thanks, John! We will definitely be booking again.
