Do corporate yacht charters include catering?▼
Most charter companies offer catering packages from light appetizers to full plated dinners. Bar packages and branded materials can often be arranged.
Can we get an invoice for corporate billing?▼
Yes — established charter operators routinely provide invoices, W-9s, and corporate billing. Mention this when requesting a quote.
What's the ideal group size for a corporate charter?▼
Chicago corporate charters work well for groups of 10–100+. Larger events may require multiple vessels or the biggest yachts in the fleet.
How far in advance should I book a boat in Chicago?▼
For peak summer weekends, holidays, and events like Navy Pier fireworks or the Air & Water Show, book 2–4 weeks ahead. Weekday and shoulder-season trips often have more last-minute availability.
