Wednesdays and Saturdays, May 24, 2025 through August 30, 2025.
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, Navy Pier hosts Fireworks on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. A Chicago tradition for locals and visitors alike, we venture near the fireworks barge that is anchored just off Navy Pier (as close as we can safely approach) to give your party a front row seat for this Chicago tradition!
For the Wednesday @ 9:00 pm show, book a charter departing at 7:30 pm or 8:00 pm.
For the Saturday 10:00 pm show, book a charter departing at 8:30 pm or 9:00 pm.

Saturday, August 16, 2025 and Sunday, August 17, 2025.
Viewing the Chicago Air Show from the water is a truly unique experience. However, due to crowding and varying sea conditions, we do not anchor during this event. For 2024, we offer regular sailing events and view the Navy “Blue Angels” finale (starting appx 2:30 pm) for charters departing at either 1:30 pm or 2:00 pm.
Also note that often times the best day to view is the Friday before the ‘official’ event – the practice day. Same time for best viewing for the jet show is 1:30p.
