CHICAGO YACHTING
Chicago’s Premium Boat and Yacht Charter Business Operating Since 2013
Chicago Yachting has run private boating experiences out of 31st Street Harbor since 2013. A 10+ vessel fleet ranging from 40-foot party boats to 60-foot Italian yachts. Owner-led, US Coast Guard licensed, fully insured. Thousands of completed bookings. 80+ five-star reviews across Google and Yelp.
Here’s what we built and run for them:

The Marketing Engine That Couldn’t Match the Premium Fleet

Is Your Yacht or Boat Rental Marketing a Sinking Ship?
THE DECISION
A Foundation Rebuild, Not Another Patch Job
The decision to hire Rescue came after several strategy calls. Chicago Yachting wasn’t looking for another agency to run ads. They were looking for an agency with a deep understanding of SEO, willing to rebuild the system from the foundation up.
Three Commitments:
That’s what we agreed to. Here’s what we built.
THE BATTLE
Yacht Charter Marketing Built in Four Phases
Phase one, the ad foundation. Phase two, the platform. Phase three, the tracking. Phase four, the scale.
PHASE 01
Google Ads Foundation Rebuild + Advertising Strategy
Phase one was triage. Rebuild the ad account from scratch, then deploy real campaigns.
PHASE 02
Wix to WordPress + SEO Foundation
Phase two was the rebuild. New platform, new brand, new architecture.
PHASE 03
Conversion Tracking + Target ROAS
Phase three was the breakthrough. Tracking finally measured what the ad spend produced.
PHASE 04
Content Marketing + AI Search Visibility
Phase four is the scale. 17 SEO-optimized pages live, AI Search visibility climbing.
THE VICTORY
Four Phases In, the System Compounds
Here’s what the yacht charter marketing system is producing now. The build is done. The scale is on.
