IMPORTANT!

Our Guests are important. As always, our boats are cleaned and sanitized after every rental. Our rentals are private. This means that only your group will be on a boat during the rental.

Our picnic area is provided for our guests as they wait to board their boats. When people check in, they wait in our picnic area. Oftentimes there are children in that area that can see and hear conversations. Please be respectful to those around you by limiting the use of profanity.

There is a Six (6) Person maximum on the 18ft pontoon and a Ten (10) person max on the 22ft pontoon. This is the total number of bodies on the boat including children, infants, and adults.

Please do not show up with more people than stated above. Our staff cannot make exceptions and it puts them in a difficult situation, especially when trying to check in other Guests. If your group has more than the maximum persons allowed, we cannot let your group out and we will not refund any money paid.

Cancellation, Rescheduling & No-Show Policy

All reservations are non-refundable.

If you are unable to attend your scheduled reservation, refunds cannot be issued. However, if you notify Chicago Boat Rentals before your scheduled rental time, you may reschedule your reservation, subject to availability and the following rescheduling fees: VIP Members do not incur reschedule fees

  • More than 24 hours before your scheduled reservation: $20 rescheduling fee.
  • Within 24 hours of your scheduled reservation: $50 rescheduling fee.
  • On the day of your reservation (before your scheduled rental time): $100 rescheduling fee.

Rescheduling requests must be made before your scheduled rental time and are subject to boat availability.

No-shows are not eligible for refunds, rescheduling, or gift cards. A reservation is considered a no-show if the reservation holder fails to arrive for the scheduled rental and does not notify Chicago Boat Rentals before the reservation begins.

To ensure fairness and availability for all guests, each reservation may be rescheduled one time only. Any additional changes are at the sole discretion of Chicago Boat Rentals and may not be available.

Because each reservation requires us to reserve a boat, dock space, staffing, and operating resources exclusively for your party, we are unable to offer refunds for canceled or missed reservations.

By completing your reservation, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Cancellation, Rescheduling & No-Show Policy.
