Chicago’s First Lady Cruises is the ultimate choice for private, upscale river and lakefront dining for your group outing. Available for private party rentals from April – November, yachts range in size to accommodate groups of 2-250. All vessels feature open-air upper decks, interior climate-controlled salons and full bars. Choose from creative and delectable menu offerings customized for your event from any one of our five professional caterers.

Impress guests with spectacular, ever-changing views from Chicago’s intimate riverfront and expansive lakefront. Take in a gorgeous sunset from the lake, revel in summer fireworks bursting against Chicago’s twinkling skyline and gape at larger-than-life skyscrapers towering above you. For an extra special experience, consider including a private docent from the Chicago Architecture Foundation to provide architectural commentary for the river portion of your event.

Private charter rentals available nightly and on select weekday mornings/afternoons. All yachts depart from Chicago’s Riverwalk. Contact our Charter Sales department at 847-358-1330 or chartersales@cruisechicago.com to inquire about your next event!
