ABOUT US

yachting for all.

Bad Beaches Only Boating is a Boat Charter Company owned by four women, who want to share our love for water and nature with our guests. 

We began as travel enthusiasts that sought out exploratory adventures on both land and water when travelling locally and abroad. 

Early on, we realized that the beauty of the world aboard a boat was seen and felt in ways we never imagined.  The sound of the waves, crispness of the air, touch of the wind on our skin, warmth of the sun, beauty of the sunset, views of nature and brilliantly crafted structures on land seen from a different vantage point was unmatched. Occurrences often not experienced by many during their lifetimes. 

In 2020, we began to spend more time exploring our city from this vantage point.  Seeing the City of Chicago, Our City, from the water was breathtaking.  We wanted everyone to experience it! 

In 2022 Bad Beaches Only Boating was born. Our desire is for our guests to experience both the Beauty and Adventures of our City aboard our vessel.
