Mayra Lyssette Fernandez 47” Carver – August 2021 Meridian was the best experience for my son. We celebrated his 18th birthday with his closest friends. It was truly amazing how management made sure his friends were safe and comfortable. The music quality was impeccable and all the water toys available were unexpected. This cruise party was absolutely perfect. I will definitely return back to book again.
Leslie B. 50” Sea Ray – July 2021 We had the best time with Meridian Private Yachts! Gia was great at communicating and coordinating everything. Our captain was Ken and he was amazing! The bachelorette had the best time and so did our party of 12! Would highly recommend them!

"Booked super last minute and Chicago Yachting made everything super simple and stress free. The boat is perfect for groups, the coolers on board are huge and the bluetooth/speakers were perfect. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend!"
Eleanor Vanbruinessen
"If you’re looking for an amazing way to see Chicago, look no further! We rented a boat as part of a girls weekend in the Fall and it was easily the best part of our trip. The company was easy to contact ahead of time, the boat was beautiful and clean, and instructions for accessing were clear. Would definitely rent from them the next time I visit Chicago!"
James Kretz
This yacht experience was without a doubt the coolest thing I have ever done in my entire life. I felt like a celebrity touring around... This is a must if you are in Chicago.
