Chicago-based luxury yacht charter with a near-perfect track record across dozens of celebrations, from birthdays and bachelorette parties to corporate outings. The concierge team, particularly Gia and Ben, consistently earns praise for thorough communication, smooth coordination, and making sure every detail is handled before you even step on board. The captains are a genuine highlight here. David, Ken, Bill, Mike, and Bishop all get called out by name in reviews, which says a lot about the personal experience you can expect on the water. Guests frequently mention feeling safe, comfortable, and genuinely looked after throughout their trip. The boats themselves are described as well-maintained and nicely equipped, with water toys adding a fun bonus for the right crowd. Several reviewers also noted with pride that this is a Black-owned business, which clearly resonates with a meaningful portion of their clientele. For anyone planning a group event in Chicago, this outfit covers a lot of ground: the Playpen, river cruises, sightseeing, and private charters all get mentioned. Hard to find much to complain about in the feedback, and the repeat booking intentions speak for themselves.
We have so much fun with Meridian Yachts every year. This was our third time with them and they make everything seamless and facilitate great vibes. Captain Ken is so welcoming and a joy to hang out with. No notes!!
