Frequently Asked Questions

While evening cruises are most popular, we also offer breakfast, lunch, and late night charters.

While both of our yachts are docked at Dusable Harbor, they can both pick up for cruises in several locations throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Contact our staff to learn more about our specific docking locations.

On Anita Dee’s yacht charters, your cruise is completely private. This means your group gets the entire vessel to itself. We never book multiple events for any of our cruises.

Anita Dee offers two ships, Anita Dee I and the Anita Dee II, each with a minimum three-hour charter time. Prices vary by day and time. The minimum prices for our charters are:

  • Anita Dee I: $1,295/hour
  • Anita Dee II: $2,595/hour

There is special pricing for the 4th of July and New Years Eve. A typical quote will consist of a 3-Hour minimum rental rate, per person bar package, and 10.25% sales tax.
