MERCY HOME FOR BOYS & GIRLS “On behalf of Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, I am writing to offer our full support and recommendation for Anita Dee Charters. For more than 10 years, the wonderful team at the Anita Dee II has hosted our Mercy Day event, an annual event that recognizes and celebrates the hard work of the 250+ people that work at Mercy Home and dedicate their lives to our life-saving mission. As a non-profit organization that provides a safe home for abused and neglected youth, this is an incredibly important day to honor those who work tirelessly all year long to support the young people entrusted to our care. The Anita Dee team has always provided top-notch hospitality and a friendly, inviting atmosphere. They have always been incredibly kind and accommodating to the needs of our large group of co- workers. Our annual cruise is a long-standing, beloved tradition that our co-workers look forward to every year – we truly can’t imagine our Mercy Day celebration anywhere else! We are so thankful to the Anita Dee team for all they have done for us over the years. We hope that their continued generosity to our organization and many others will allow them to maintain their current harbor location.”

Community Enrichment Programs“On behalf of Chicago Children’s Charities (CCC), I am writing to express our full support and recommendation for Anita Dee Charters as they seek to maintain their current harbor location. Over the past two years, CCC has hosted two major fundraising events aboard the Anita Dee II vessel. These events have raised approximately $30,000 in total, with 100 percent of proceeds going directly to support education and community enrichment programs for at-risk children in Chicago. These outcomes are a direct reflection of the professionalism, convenience, and overall experience provided by Anita Dee Charters. The Anita Dee team delivers top-tier service at every step. Their staff is organized, friendly, and extremely accommodating. From early planning to night-of logistics, they make hosting an event effortless. The atmosphere on board the Anita Dee II is elevated yet welcoming, giving our guests a unique and memorable experience that keeps them engaged and inspired by our mission. Anita Dee Charters has become more than just a venue for CCC. They are a true partner in our fundraising efforts and community impact.”

Free Faith & Community Focused Activities“On behalf of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago Young Adult League, I am writing to express our full support and recommendation for Anita Dee Charters. Since 2017, our organization has hosted an annual boat cruise event that began on the Anita Dee I and is now aboard the Anita Dee II vessel. The funds raised by this event fuel our operation for the following year. As a non-profit religious organization, we turn the profit here into affordable and free faith and community focused activities open to all Orthodox Young Adults age 18-35. Anita Dee’s hospitality and flexibility have been true blessings to our organization, and it directly reflects their professionalism, convenience, and overall experience. The Anita Dee team delivers top-tier service at every step. Their staff is organized, friendly, and extremely accommodating. From early planning to night-of logistics, they make hosting an event effortless. Throughout our long partnership, the Anita Dee team has been consistently spectacular. Our cruise organizers change every year and despite these changes, their communication has always been quick, consistent, prepared and informative with each change. The vessel’s location is also a major asset. Our attendees come from the greater Chicago area and beyond, even seeing visitors from Minneapolis, Indianapolis, New York and California. The central location makes the harbor easily accessible by car, public transit, and foot traffic. This convenience has been instrumental in driving strong attendance, which is critical for a nonprofit like ours. Anita Dee Charters is a true partner that works hand-in-hand with us every year forging a path to success. Losing access to their current harbor location would severely hamper our funding efforts and cause uncertainty in our yearly budget. We hope that they are able to maintain their docking location so that we can continue our partnership!”

Young Gaelic Association“As President of the Young Gaelic Association (YGA), I am writing to offer our enthusiastic support for Anita Dee Yacht Charters. YGA is a volunteer-led organization under the umbrella of Gaelic Park Charities, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Over the past two years, we have hosted two successful events aboard the Anita Dee I. The proceeds from these events have allowed us to support young adults battling cancer through our partnership with Weish4Ever, as well as assist a local family coping with the sudden loss of their husband/father, leaving them in a financial hardship. Our relationship with Anita Dee Yacht Charters goes beyond one of our typical event hosting interactions. Not only has the company consistently provided exceptional service, but as a resident of the neighborhood where the yachts are docked, I also value the presence of a local business that actively supports charitable causes. In addition to private events, Anita Dee Yacht Charters offers public sailings, giving our community a unique and affordable way to experience the city from the water. The crew prioritizes safety and professionalism at every turn. Convenient access by car, public transportation, and foot makes attending events seamless for our event guests.
Anita Dee Charters is a valued partner in YGA’s mission to serve the community. Losing access to their current harbor would eliminate a dependable and meaningful resource—not only for our organization, but for many others that count on their services to host impactful events. We are grateful for the partnership and opportunities Anita Dee provides, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.”

Corporate Outing“I’m writing on behalf of Databricks to share some feedback about the Anita Dee charter services. We needed to host a corporate outing for 125 people. Unfortunately, we lost a cruise provider the week prior, and it looked like we would be stuck without a boat. Marc Barrile and his team came to the rescue with the Anita Dee II! Not only did they secure the boat for us at a very reasonable price, but they were also great to work with. The staff on board was super helpful, and the pier location was perfect, as it was just a five-minute walk to our dinner spot on the Riverwalk. Overall, the whole experience was a major success and I would highly recommend both the Anita Dee I and II to anyone in need of a boat charter.”

Annual Navegantes Yacht Cruise“I’m writing this letter not just as the Co-Founder of the Executive Latino Council, but as someone who has seen first-hand the impact Anita Dee Yacht Charters has had on our organization and community. Since 2023, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting our annual Navegantes Yacht Cruise aboard the stunning Anita Dee II. What began as a simple event venue quickly became something much more, a partner in helping us bring people together, celebrate culture, and create truly unforgettable experiences on the water. The Anita Dee team has always gone above and beyond. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail are unmatched. Every time we step onto that yacht, we know we’re in good hands. From the layout of the decks to the coordination with catering and entertainment, they help us make magic happen, and they do it with grace and excellence. But what really sets Anita Dee apart is how much they care. They’re not just running a charter business, they’re creating memories, supporting local organizations like ours, and showcasing the very best of what Chicago’s lakefront has to offer. The views are breathtaking, yes, but it’s the people and the service that keep us coming back year after year.

The team is highly professional and attentive, ensuring that every step, from planning through the event, is handled smoothly and efficiently. Their dedication to managing all the details makes the experience effortless and enjoyable. During our most recent charter, there was one particular instance that caught our attention. In an incredibly wonderful and surprising gesture that made the evening one to remember, the crew kindly extended our time out on the water so we could take in the lake’s fireworks. A highlight for many of our members and a memory we will all cherish is seeing the city light up while peacefully anchored on the water. They are an essential partner for our organization and countless others throughout the city because of their dedication to service, safety, and providing outstanding experiences.

Wedding“I am writing in strong support of Anita Dee Yacht Charters. On Saturday, October 5, 2024, my wife Evie and I celebrated one of the most important days of our lives—our wedding—aboard the Anita Dee I yacht. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Chicago already held a special place in our hearts, as we’re deeply rooted in the community—I’m a lawyer at Sidley Austin LLP on Dearborn Street, and my wife teaches at Lincoln Park High School. But on that day, we fell even more in love with the city. From the moment we began planning the event, the Anita Dee team was responsive, thoughtful, and professional. They guided us through every step with clarity and flexibility, helping us navigate the logistics of hosting a large event on the water with confidence. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the process. The day itself was absolutely beautiful. The Anita Dee I was pristine and elegantly arranged, the staff was warm and attentive, and the service was top-notch. Our guests were treated to stunning views of the Chicago skyline as we cruised along the river and lake—a setting that truly made our celebration unforgettable. It was a one-of-a-kind experience that blended the best of Chicago’s architectural beauty with the intimacy of a private gathering. Perhaps most memorable was how much our family and friends enjoyed the event. Many of our guests had traveled from out of town and even from abroad, and for several, it was their first visit to Chicago. Thanks to Anita Dee, including its beautiful docking location, their impression of the city was overwhelmingly positive. They were amazed not only by the scenic cruise but by the caliber of service and the way it showcased the city’s charm. Months later, we still receive messages from guests raving about the experience. Anita Dee is a true Chicago gem. I hope that for many years to come, Evie and I, and countless others like us, can continue enjoying breathtaking experiences boarding Anita Dee yachts at DuSable Harbor.”
