Island Party Boat is a Chicago-based boat operator offering tiki-themed cruises, skyline charters, and private yacht rentals on Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. The company operates a range of vessels from 24‑foot center consoles to an 80‑foot tiki‑chic yacht, accommodating intimate six-passenger charters and large groups up to 120 guests.
Trips include themed public cruises such as the Chicago River Tiki Bar Cruise and Sunday Mimosa n' Bloody Mary Cruises, plus private charter options like Upper Deck Enchantment, Main Deck Enchantment, and Island Time. Many experiences depart from the Chicago Riverwalk and provide skyline views, island-style decor, and tropical cocktails from full or open bars.
Onboard amenities vary by vessel and specific trip but commonly feature Bluetooth sound systems, multiple decks, restroom access, and covered areas for comfort. Select yachts include an Admiral’s Lounge and upscale spirits; smaller boats offer compact, private cruises with complimentary beverages or included drink credit. One vessel includes a water slide for added entertainment.
Island Party Boat markets a variety of durations, from shorter 75–90 minute skyline and river cruises to extended three-hour private charters. The operator serves tourists and local groups seeking a festive, island-inspired experience on the water. All trip descriptions specify capacities, deck configurations, and some beverage inclusions, allowing groups to choose the appropriate vessel and service level for events, celebrations, or sightseeing along Chicago’s river and lakefront. Booking details, exact departure points, and onboard policies are provided per trip listing so groups can plan with clear expectations and flexible options.
