Sunset cruising the night away
Beautiful views of the skyline and great music made our evening! The host provided some interesting commentary and history about Chicago, but didn’t talk the whole time so we were also able to enjoy our own conversation. We arrived about 25 minutes before the boat was scheduled to leave and there were a ton of people lined up. Seating is first-come, first-serve, so arrive earlier if you want to get prime seating on deck near the edge or back of the boat for the best photo ops. The back will give you the skyline as the boat drives out of the city onto Lake Michigan. Either side will give photo ops as the boat drives up and down Lake Michigan a couple times each after dusk. People move around a lot, so you can still get good photos no matter where you sit, you may just have a bunch of people in your photos. This was a great experience!
