The City of Chicago provides several exciting fireworks displays throughout the summer. These spectacular events occur right off the notorious Navy Pier, perfect for a firework charter. The best way to take in the vibrant display of colors that fill the night air due to these fireworks is from the comfort of a private yacht. 

Our captains and crew provide your party with several amenities that enhance your night’s enjoyment. Because of this, other methods of viewing these shows pale compared to the opportunities possible on our charters.

When are the firework charters?

Firework charters set sail every Wednesday and Saturday night from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Your party will depart from Belmont Harbor at approximately 7:30 pm for a beautiful sunset sail down to Navy Pier. Saturday evening, fireworks at Navy Pier go up at 10:15 pm, and Wednesday, fireworks go off at 9:30 pm. Once the fireworks have concluded, we will sail your group back to Belmont Harbor by approximately 11:00 pm.

 

It’s simple, charming, and EXTREMELY memorable.
