MPower Charters & Yacht Rentals operates private yacht charters from Chicago, Illinois, offering customizable day and evening cruises on Lake Michigan. The company provides three primary vessels available for private rental: the Genius, a 40-foot Sea Ray motor yacht; the Aquaholic, a 40-foot Sea Ray motor yacht; and The Gwen, a 38-foot Carver Mariner. Each yacht includes a full kitchen and onboard sound system for music and entertainment. The Genius and Aquaholic are marketed for gatherings such as bachelorette parties, corporate events, and family outings, while The Gwen also offers the option to bring a private captain. All vessels comply with applicable safety regulations and provide life jackets and required safety equipment as part of charter operations.
MPower Charters focuses on private bookings that emphasize flexibility in itinerary, scenic views of the Chicago skyline, and vessel amenities rather than public sightseeing schedules. Reservations typically cover a set time block for boarding, cruising, and return; clients select departure points within Chicago harbor areas. The business lists vessel types and features for transparency so guests can choose a yacht that fits group size and event needs. Pricing and availability are provided per trip on booking platforms and the company coordinates with guests on arrival procedures and safety briefings. MPower Charters maintains a presence on platforms like The Adventure Collective to list trips and connect with travelers seeking private yacht experiences in Chicago. Booking terms, cancellation policies, and specific guest limits are posted with each trip listing for clarity and seasonal availability noted.
