About Ace Yachting
Established in the Summer of 2023, Ace Yachting is a woman-and-family-owned-and-run company. What began as a simple hobby has since grown into a thriving yacht charter business, now expanding throughout Chicago.

Captain Amanda Napravnik, Owner
Amanda was first introduced to boating by her family when she was young, as well as riding Jetskis along the lakeshore of Chicago with her father. After his passing in 2019, she inherited their childhood jet boat which she learned how to drive the following summer. Boating then became more than a hobby at the start of COVID when she began brainstorming ideas about of how to combine doing what she loves with entrepreneurship instilled in her by her father. Which subsequently led to the launch of Ace Yachting. Amanda has grown the company during her free time outside of her full-time job and has even recently earned her Captain's license.
