Have you experienced our sister company, ? In 1962, we launched a rush-hour commuter service between Michigan Avenue and the Northwestern Railroad Station, offering city commuters a convenient option on the Chicago River. Originally named Wendella RiverBus in 1999, the service was rebranded as Chicago Water Taxi in 2007, expanding its fleet, routes, and enhancing the overall commuter experience.

Experience it for yourself, CWT running daily the entire month!

Soak in the last of our Lake & River Architecture Cruises this month! Take in the entire skyline from out on the lake, get an up-close view of Navy Pier and, of course, cruise right through the middle of downtown. Trust us, it’s pretty spectacular. But don’t take our word for it. Book a cruise and see it for yourself while the weather is still warm! ☀️

Our Sunset Cruises and Lake & River Tours run through October 25, so consider this your sign to squeeze in one more cruise this season. 🌇

But don’t worry, we’re the only boat company cruising year-round, so you can still experience our Architecture River Tour all winter long.

In honor of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we’re raising a glass to the memory of our beloved matriarch, Lila Borgström, who we lost to ovarian cancer in 2011.

Through the end of September, 50% of every TEALtini sold at the bar will benefit the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition and help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

🍸 TEALtini: Tito’s vodka, blue curaçao, pineapple juice and a cherry garnish.

Happy first day of fall, Chicago! 🍂 Celebrate the change of season with a nighttime cruise through the city. If you’re lucky, a few clouds might roll in and show off Chicago’s moodier, slightly spooky side. 👻🌃
