Frequently Asked Questions for Wet Again Charters - Private Boat Rentals & Lake Adventures

Question 1

Does a captain come with the boat?

Accepted Answer

For our Bareboat Charters, a captain is hired separately by the Charterer. Captains typically charge $125–$175 per hour before gratuity, which is paid directly to your captain. Upon completion of booking you will receive a list of captains you may select from familiar with our vessel.

Question 2

Can we play our own music through the speakers?

Accepted Answer

All of our vessels are equipped with premium, upgraded Bluetooth sound systems linked to an onboard Ipad equipped with Apple Music to enjoy while underway.

Question 3

What time do I need to arrive for check-in?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend using ride-sharing or car services due to limited and/or costly parking. Traffic around the harbors can be significant, especially on holidays or summer weekends. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure to allow ample time to walk from drop-off or parking to our dock, check in, get settled, and depart on time.

Question 4

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages, including alcohol. Boat will have cooler onboard for your use. Please avoid glass containers and staining liquids (such as red wine or cranberry juice) to prevent damage fees. For safety, stovetops are disconnected, and microwaves work only while docked and on shore power.

Question 5

What are your operating hours and months?

Accepted Answer

We are open 7 days a week. Chicago’s boating season runs from late spring through early fall when conditions are ideal for being on the water, typically April to late October. Availability and peak times may vary depending on weather, special events, and seasonal demand.

Question 6

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing is best for your boating experience. Light layers and sun protection like hats or sunglasses are recommended. Swimwear is perfect if you plan to take a dip, and for evening cruises, bring a light jacket as it can get cooler on the water. Please refrain from denim as it may dye the seats which can incur damage fees.
