Navy Pier Fireworks
Watching the Navy Pier fireworks by boat or yacht is one of the most magical ways to experience summer in Chicago—and enjoying it from the water turns the show into a truly private, luxury experience. While floating on Lake Michigan with the skyline glowing behind you, you and your guests enjoy unobstructed views of the fireworks bursting over Navy Pier, all from the comfort of your own private boat or yacht rental.
I offer a selection of boats and yachts to choose from, allowing you to create the perfect setup for your group—whether you’re planning an intimate evening on the water or a larger celebration with friends, family, or clients. Every fireworks cruise is thoughtfully positioned for prime viewing, comfort, and safety.
To make the night effortless, I can handle the details for you, including picking up your food and beverages or coordinating catering and onboard entertainment through my trusted preferred vendor list. From elevated dining to music and specialty experiences, everything can be tailored to your vision.
As your captain and host, I focus on delivering a white-glove boating experience—smooth cruising, attentive service, and a perfectly timed fireworks finale. Watching the Navy Pier fireworks from a private boat or yacht isn’t just a show—it’s an unforgettable Chicago experience designed entirely around you.
