Luxury Boat Tours Near Bolingbrook, Illinois — Private Charters & Cruises

Bella is presented as a luxury Italian yacht configured for social groups up to 13 people, with flexible three- to six-hour charter windows. The layout emphasizes a front sundeck and a swim platform, plus two on-board refrigerators and an ice chest for keeping drinks cold during long lake cruises. A powerful Sonos-based sound system is highlighted for music while cruising the Chicago coastline or anchoring near Navy Pier for sunset views.

Operators note that captain fees are handled separately and that gratuity is customary; the vessel meets USCG safety requirements and carries required permits and insurance. The yacht is ideal for bachelor and bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, corporate events and anniversary celebrations where comfort, on-board amenities and a party atmosphere matter most.

The 62' Azimut Checkmate mirrors Bella in passenger capacity and onboard features, offering four- to six-hour charters tailored to groups that want a polished, Italian-built yacht. It’s configured for sunbathing, swimming off the platform and enjoying extended skyline runs. The boat’s full kitchen, two bathrooms and entertainment systems mean you can stage a substantial on-water event without sacrificing comfort.

Like other private charters in this collection, the Checkmate requires a separately arranged captain and follows standard gratuity practices. The Azimut is particularly well suited to guests who prioritize design, space and an elevated cruising experience with room for a dozen or so friends or family.

Practical touches—ample refrigeration, a sizable salon and included captain and life jackets—make this a straightforward, family-friendly charter. Operators advise bringing changes of clothes, towels and sun protection; they also recommend avoiding dark-colored mixers that could stain upholstery, a small but useful detail to keep your trip hassle-free.

Operators offer add-ons such as catering and alcohol packages for an all-inclusive feel.
