A fun and exciting way to see the Chicago skyline. Pick a day when you don’t mind getting a little wet. The seats toward the front stay drier than the rear seats. The boat gets up to 45 mph and provides an exhilarating ride.

Could of been faster but overall very fun. The music was great and the narration was informative. The guide was knowledgeable.

We took the sunset cruise at 8pm. Excellent experience. Fun and informative! We will do this again! Only drawback was the guy standing in front of the view. Wish he would speak in from the back of the boat.

It was fun. I just wish it would have been a full hour long instead of a half hour. It was entertaining.

Super fun and informative. My kids loved it. Water was very choppy so we got a little wet but so much fun!!

Kind of eventless. I expected a little more action with the boat. Expensive 30 minutes of driving straight out and straight back

Me and my son had a blast on this boat ride. Our guide Jakob was very informative and entertaining. The boat zipped around the lake from spot to spot offering amazing views. An excellent addition for a day at the Navy Pier or surrounding downtown area
