Luxury Boat Charters from Roselle, Illinois — Lake & River Escapes

Bella is presented as one of the most sought-after Italian yachts available for private charters that accommodate up to 13 guests. Operators offer multi-hour bookings—Monday through Thursday charters of three to six hours, and extended four- to six-hour options on weekends—making this vessel a flexible choice for daytime swims or twilight skyline cruises. Onboard amenities include a spacious sundeck, swim platform, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, two refrigerators and an ice chest. The yacht’s Sonos-enabled sound system is highlighted for social outings.

Operators note that the captain’s fee is separate and that gratuity is not included; USCG safety requirements, permits and insurance are confirmed in the listing. The vendor supplies a vetted list of captains (or you may provide a qualified captain that meets USCG and owner requirements). Guests are advised to bring towels, sunscreen, food and drinks—alcohol is allowed—and music devices for Bluetooth playback.

The 62' Azimut Checkmate is another Italian-built yacht offered for private charter in Chicago, accommodating up to 13 passengers on four- to six-hour trips.

Like other vessels in this collection, Checkmate is positioned for celebrations—bachelor or bachelorette events, birthdays and corporate gatherings—where guests want both performance and presentation.

Included features mirror those of other luxury charters: a full kitchen, two bathrooms and a premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity.

A four-person inflatable raft is provided for swim stops in designated anchorage areas, and the vessel includes a large refrigerator and freezer for provisioning.

Bookings include a captain, life jackets and a cooler; the operator’s guidance recommends guests pack towels, a change of clothes and sunscreen, and to avoid dark liquids that could stain. The listing highlights a generous social layout and conveniences for day-long or extended charters, making the Sundancer a strong pick for mixed-age groups and families seeking both lounging and swim opportunities.

This four-hour private charter aboard a 37' luxury sailing yacht emphasizes an all-inclusive sail-and-swim experience departing from Navy Pier Marina.

Guests can swim at the Playpen or other anchorage with life jackets, noodles, a lily pad and towels available.

The listing notes that alcohol is available for purchase and that additional catering or drink packages can be arranged for an added fee. Weather-related cancellations tied to lightning or high wind trigger full refunds, and all guests must sign a participant waiver. The setup makes this charter a good match for celebratory groups who want the feel of sailing with low logistical friction.
