Party on Boats LLC

Party on Boats offers private boat charters and luxury yacht experiences for organisers planning memorable celebrations and corporate gatherings in Chicago. Based at Monroe Harbor, the business provides exclusive cruises on the Chicago River, Lake Michigan and the Playpen, combining a distinctive waterfront setting with flexible event planning options.

The fleet includes two Funtime pontoon party boats, each suitable for groups of up to 20 passengers, as well as the Forte Sea sailing yacht, which is available for smaller private groups and sailing experiences. The boats can be booked for birthdays, hen and stag parties, graduation celebrations, corporate get-togethers, family occasions and other special events. Wedding ceremonies can also be arranged on board, with the captain able to conduct the ceremony.

Charters are designed to be straightforward for organisers. Packages include a professional captain, onboard sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, phone charging facilities, coolers with ice and bathroom facilities. The party boats also feature bars, outdoor observation areas, lighting and space for dancing. Guests can bring their own food and drinks, while routes and cruising times can be selected to suit the occasion. The boats offer views of Chicago’s skyline and architecture, creating a relaxed yet highly distinctive backdrop for photographs, entertaining and informal networking.

For planners, Party on Boats is particularly suited to smaller private events that need an unusual venue rather than a conventional function room. The team can help coordinate the booking, boarding and event details, while organisers can choose between a lively pontoon party atmosphere or a more refined sailing yacht experience. Larger groups may also be accommodated by combining the two Funtime boats.
