WHAT TO EXPECT RECAP

Chicago’s Hottest Entertainment Yacht Cruise Experience!

This is NOT a stuffy dinner cruise or a boring architecture tour — this is a high-energy entertainment experience on the water with DJs, dancing, skyline views, cocktails, and great vibes from start to finish.

• Affordable Entertainment Experience

Enjoy one of Chicago’s most unique nightlife experiences at an affordable price point.

• Boarding Process

Please allow approximately 45 minutes for boarding and security check-in before departure.

• Event Length

This is approximately a 3.5-hour experience from boarding to the end of the event.

• Chicago Lock System Experience

Please note that the yacht must pass through the famous Chicago Lock System when exiting and re-entering the harbor.

The lock process typically takes approximately 10–15 minutes minimum each way, but timing can vary depending on lake traffic, weather conditions, and harbor activity.

This is a normal required process for vessels entering and exiting the harbor and is part of the overall Chicago yacht experience.

• Returning to Dock

The yacht typically returns to dock a little before the official event ending time. Guests may exit at that time or stay onboard and continue enjoying the music and entertainment until the event officially ends.

• Bars & Payments

Bars are located on every level of the yacht for quick and easy service throughout the event.

PLEASE NOTE:

All bar sales are CASHLESS ONLY. Debit/Credit Cards and Apple Pay are accepted.

• Dress Code

Trendy • Stylish • Fashion Forward

We recommend dressing to impress while still being comfortable enough to enjoy the yacht experience.

• Food Options

Food will be available for purchase on the SECOND FLOOR of the yacht from a featured local soul food vendor.

Menu options may include favorites such as Jerk Chicken and other rotating specialty items.

Food availability is LIMITED and offered while supplies last.

• Photography

Professional photographers may be onsite capturing event photos and content for our website/social media. Guests may also have the opportunity to purchase photos or book a quick mini photoshoot with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop.

• Parking Information

Parking is available near the harbor; however, GPS directions can sometimes be confusing due to the location being underneath Lake Shore Drive.

For easier access, we highly recommend parking near Navy Pier and enjoying the short 10-minute walk to the dock on the opposite side of the river.
