About this Event
This Friday, Highline sets sail for Anchor, a limited-capacity yacht party cruising Lake Michigan and the Chicago River from sunset into night.
Built around DJs on deck, cocktails, skyline views, and an elevated summer crowd, Anchor brings the Highline experience off the rooftop and onto the water for one of our most limited events of the season.
Expect house, EDM, dance edits, remixes, and club-style sound and lighting production as we cruise through the city during one of the best nights of the summer.
This is not just another boat cruise.
It’s a sunset-to-evening yacht party with open-air music, full bars, skyline views, and 150 guests on board.
One boat. One night. Once tickets are gone, that’s it.
What to Expect
Highline is bringing 3+ DJs on board for a night built around music, energy, and the Chicago skyline.
Expect house music, EDM, remixes, and dance edits as we cruise from golden hour into the evening. With full sound and lighting production on deck, Anchor is designed to feel more like an open-air party on the water than a standard boat cruise.
The Boat
We’ll be cruising aboard the Summer of George, one of Chicago’s largest charter boats.
The boat features a massive open-air top deck, an indoor lower deck, full bars, restrooms, and 360-degree views of Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and the skyline.
It’s the perfect setting for a summer night in Chicago: music on deck, drinks in hand, skyline all around you.
