The boat: Take a leisurely cruise along beautiful Lake Michigan onboard our Formula 31ft performance cabin cruiser. This vessel is cleaned and disinfected after each return from dropping anchor at the Navy Pier's Northside "Playpen" (the hub of activity on the lakefront) where renters go to enjoy the Chicago skyline while celebrating life's special event(s), and/or simply to treat themselves to a day out on the water "just because" you deserve it. Our boat is equipped with a full bathroom, kitchen size galley, coolers, fire extinguishers, first aid kit and other safety equipment, as well as USCG Type-1 life vests for all passengers. Has a great Pioneer Audio Sound System you can plug into either via Bluetooth, AUX or USB. This boat is perfect for a group of up to 6 guests (with no more than 6 by Coast Guard regulations). EXCURSION VERSIONS: Other than dropping anchor at Navy Pier Northside Harbor (aka "The Playpen"), or Monroe's Buckingham Fountain, keep in mind the Chicago River offers interesting architecture and historical sites great for sightseeing as well. FIREWORKS: During summer season (Wed/Sat) nights the City of Chicago presents a fantastic fireworks display at the heart of Navy Pier which is a sight to behold from the Lake. We offer our vessel for Firework Party Cruise rentals throughout the summer as well at a minimum of 3hrs in duration. CRUISING START TIMES: Daytime (10am); Afternoon (3pm); and Evening (8pm) (for fireworks display) (Give or take 1 hour outside the times listed here) SPECIAL WATER EVENT DAYS & HOLIDAYS: Memorial Day (MAY) July 4th Weekend (JULY) The Chicago Scene Party (Two "Scene" events) (JULY) Venetian Night (AUGUST) The Air & Water Show Weekend (AUGUST) Labor Day Weekend (SEPTEMBER) These are major show-stopping weekends with spectacular sites and lots of activity out on the water, thereby noting a 15% increased rental rate on these high demand, high activity dates.
