Chicago Boat Company

Departing downtown near Marina City and the Riverwalk, outings navigate the river’s North and South branches or head toward Lake Michigan for evening fireworks. Alongside self-steered electrics, the fleet features captained cycleboats, party barges, and motor yachts like a 1964 Chris Craft Pathfinder. Gatherings accommodate up to 26 passengers with space for brought-along drinks or delivered meals, handling everything from team pedal cruises to client lunches framed by the skyline.
