Chicago · CHICAGO FIREWORKS CRUISES
The Navy Pier fireworks run on set summer nights and the water is the best seat in the house. The 4 below differ on lake or river viewing, boarding time and whether drinks are included.
Sail from downtown Chicago up the river to Wolf Point, then choose a short fireworks cruise from the river mouth or a longer Lake Michigan trip through the Chicago Locks. Expect architecture commentary, indoor and outdoor seating, a cash bar, and Navy Pier fireworks.
“Amazing!! Made a hometown visit and never experienced downtown Chicago like this!!”
Sail from Navy Pier through the Chicago Lock and onto Lake Michigan for wide skyline views and an unobstructed look at Navy Pier’s fireworks. The 2.5-hour cruise has a cash bar, snacks, restrooms, music, and city commentary. Some sailings feature Joel, an energetic guide.
