The best views in Chicago start with the best boats. Every vessel in our fleet is custom built for maximum skyline ogling (plus comfort and safety, no matter the weather).
Hot or cold, you’ll cruise in comfort. Every boat (except the Ouilmette) has a heated and air-conditioned lounge on the lower deck.
Two levels, more views. Head upstairs for open-air skyline spotting, or stay below for a comfy, panoramic ride.
No need to hold it. Every boat has restrooms on the lower deck, so you're all set from first sip til we get to shore.
Changing tables? Yep. Stroller space? If it folds. And every boat has a bathroom with a changing table to keep little co-captains happy.
They don't memorize monologues. Our guides are real Chicagoans who know their stuff (and how to tell a good story). Get ready for history, humor, and a whole lot of heart. No scripts. No snoring.
funny, but not stand-up
History without the lecture

You’ll actually listen
“Great architecture is not a matter of size, but of connection with people and its surroundings.”
"My favorite activity on a warm Chicago day is bringing along a camera for a ride on one of our yellow water taxis - the city scenery is perfect from a boat's perspective!"
Favorite Chicago fact: There are 300 World War II aircrafts at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
Favorite Building: The Carbide and Carbon building (now the Pendry Hotel.) "It's an exquisite example of Art Deco extravagance, style, and luxury both externally and internally."
"I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
“My favorite building is 333 West Wacker—the building where Ferris Beuler's dad worked.”
“I consider the Chicago River a liquid highway which brings visitors from all over the world to our world class city.”
“Everything good, is better on a boat.”
"I am the youngest tour-guide on the river. A not so young piece of architecture is the beauty of the Carbide and Carbon building, as it represents this city 100 years ago with its gold champagne-bottle-looking summit.”
We’ve got snacks. A full bar. And a locally brewed IPA you can’t sip anywhere else. It’s all for purchase, and we’re cashless—so don’t forget your card.
