Chicago Yacht Membership: Discover Stress-Free Boating

Experience Boating in Chicago Without the Hassles of Ownership

At Knot My Boat Charters, we're dedicated to enriching your Chicago boating experience by offering unforgettable journeys that highlight the city's vibrant waterfront events and activities. Join over 250+ delighted guests who have shared their exceptional experiences, from enjoying weekly fireworks cruises and holiday celebrations like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, to attending popular events such as the Chicago Air and Water Show and Lollapalooza Weekend. With our commitment to excellence and personalized service, Knot My Boat Charters ensures every moment on Lake Michigan is filled with luxury and excitement.

Owning a boat can be a time-consuming process, with costs extending far beyond the initial purchase price. Yacht memberships offer significant financial savings, with members typically paying only a fraction of what traditional ownership entails, covering everything from storage and maintenance to insurance and taxes. This streamlined approach allows members to focus solely on enjoying their time on the water, without worrying about logistical challenges.

• Cost Efficiency: Yacht memberships eliminate the high financial burden of ownership, offering a more affordable way to enjoy boating.
• Maintenance-Free Lifestyle: Members are relieved of the responsibilities associated with boat upkeep, such as storage, cleaning, and repairs.
• Simplified Logistics: All essential services, including docking and insurance, are managed for you, allowing for a seamless boating experience.

But that's not all—there are more benefits to explore. Continue reading to see how Knot My Boat Charters has considered every detail of the guest experience to provide the best quality service for all our members.

At Knot My Boat Charters, convenience is key. Our user-friendly booking platform allows members to easily schedule, reschedule, and cancel reservations with just a few clicks. This flexibility empowers members to plan their boating adventures at their own pace, ensuring maximum enjoyment without unnecessary hassle. Here are some key benefits of the Knot My Boat Charters' membership experience:

We pride ourselves in providing exceptional customer service. We are dedicated to ensuring that every member has a positive and memorable experience. From the moment you join, our team is here to assist with all your boating needs, providing support and guidance whenever required. Did something break during your outing that needs repair? Members can easily self-report issues to our Management and Maintenance teams via QR code maintenance logs on each vessel. Whether there is a technical issue out on the water or a guest simply forgets how to connect to the bluetooth, our dedicated dock operations team is readily available to assist via phone.

All our vessels come equipped with a 24/7 GPS tracker wired into the ECU of each vessel. In the rare case water support is needed, we can quickly track each vessel's immediate location.

Our advanced online booking system ensures you can manage your reservations effortlessly. Whether you need to reschedule a trip or cancel a reservation, our platform makes it simple and straightforward. No more waiting on hold or dealing with complicated processes – just a few clicks and you're set.

Flexibility is at the heart of our membership program. You can share your membership with friends and family, making it more affordable and enjoyable. Whether it's a romantic evening cruise or a fun day out with friends, our memberships adapt to your needs.

Traditional boat ownership involves numerous hidden costs. With Knot My Boat Charters, you know exactly what you're paying for. Our membership fees cover all expenses, including fuel, taxes, docking, and maintenance. This all-inclusive pricing model allows you to budget effectively and enjoy worry-free boating.

We understand that an upfront payment may not be feasible for everyone. That's why we offer flexible payment plans. Members can split payments over several months, making it easier to manage finances and enjoy boating without financial stress.

Transparency is a cornerstone of our business. Unlike other boating programs, we have no hidden fees or unexpected charges. Our pricing is straightforward and all-inclusive, covering everything from fuel and taxes to maintenance and docking. You can trust that what you see is what you get, with no surprises along the way. Watercraft liability and physical damage coverage is also included in each membership with $2,000,000 general liability coverage. Members are responsible for deductibles in the rare case of a claim.

Knot My Boat Charters understands that every boater has unique needs. We offer two flexible membership tiers:

The Half Membership is ideal for individuals or couples who want to enjoy boating occasionally. This tier offers up to 10 reservations per season, which can be shared between two people. It's perfect for planning a few special outings without the commitment of full ownership.

The Full Membership is designed for those who can't get enough of the water. With up to 20 reservations per season, this tier is ideal for families or groups of friends. You can split the reservations among three people, making it a versatile and economical option for frequent boaters.

Members receive complimentary vessel training to ensure confidence and safety on the water. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, KMBC offers access to a network of professional captains for hire, further enhancing safety and enjoyment.

Safety is our top priority. We provide comprehensive training for all members, covering essential safety protocols, navigation techniques, and boat handling skills. This ensures that you feel confident and secure every time you set sail. We include a complimentary member vessel training to go through the vessel and all USCG safety equipment. Members may request additional 1-on-1 instructor training if interested in self-captaining.

Members may place their holiday reservations on an initial draft day prior to the start of the season. After draft day, members may book unlimited a la carte holidays freely via their scheduling app.
