Meeting point

Navy Pier, 600 E Grand Ave, 60611, Chicago

  • Board a speedboat and see Chicago's sights from the Chicago Locks and Chicago River
  • Learn fun facts and history from a local guide as you go!
  • See sights like the Tribune Building, Willis Tower, Buckingham Fountain, Grant Park, and Chicago Harbor

Enjoy Chicago’s iconic skyline with an exciting architecture cruise on the Chicago River. Departing from Navy Pier, this 75-minute, narrated cruise is the best way to get up-close views of Chicago’s unique architecture and famous landmarks.

Seadog offers fun for the whole family (and the dog, too!) with live narration along the city’s shore. Enjoy the speed of Seadog afterward during a short speedboat ride on the lake!

This is the only tour that takes you on an unforgettable journey from the lakefront, through the impressive locks, and along the iconic Chicago River, all the way to the famous Willis Tower. As an added thrill, the ride includes a portion where you'll experience the exhilaration of a short speedboat ride on the lake!

Feel free to bring your own drinks aboard Seadog to enhance your experience (please note: glass containers are not allowed for safety reasons).

Show your smartphone ticket at the ticket booth 45 minutes before the scheduled departure.

Great and quick way to see the city by water. Try and sit more towards the front of the boat as the back few rows are a bit obstructed.
Great staff - friendly - tip the tour guide 👍
