Boating
Boating is more than just a pastime - it’s a way to celebrate, connect, and experience the city from a whole new perspective. Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration, team outing, or looking to soak up the skyline, Chicago Boat Company.
Private Boats: Mark an occasion, host a celebration, or simply cruise in style aboard one of our Private Boats. With options that accommodate anywhere from 4 to 26 passengers, our fleet includes everything from cozy Retro Boats to spacious pontoons and party-ready yachts. Enjoy the city from the comfort of your own boat—perfect for date nights, birthdays, corporate events, and everything in between.
Public Boats: Don’t have a boatload of people? No problem. Our Public Boats let you reserve by the seat, making them the perfect choice for small groups or solo adventurers. Join us for one of our signature cruises, like the Chicago Fireworks Cruise, Chicago Ghost Tour, or Chicago History Tour, and enjoy a guided experience without booking the entire boat.
Chicago Boat Company is your go-to for electric boats, cycleboats, and memorable moments on the water.
Explore the river. Celebrate the season. Cruise with us.
