Sophisticated Lady

A restored 1973, 72-foot Chris-Craft with three decks, cruising Lake Michigan.

Why we picked itA 72-foot Chris-Craft with three decks. Chicago's biggest classic yacht party.

The boat has been redone in cherry and teak. It has a flybridge, bow seating, a full bar and two heads, and it carries up to 49 guests, which the owner bills as the most of any yacht in Chicago.

A USCG captain is included. Shoulder-season weekday rates start at $1,250 an hour and rise to $2,000 for summer weekends. A per-guest bar package is required.
