This is a change of pace from a cookie-cutter happy hour and provides a unique, exciting opportunity for employees. From singing your favorite karaoke song surrounded by coworkers to hiring hula dancers for some extra entertainment to a mini line-dancing lesson, the opportunities to have fun are endless. If you can dream it, we can make it happen.
Once you step foot on one of the 6 unique vessels within our fleet, you’ll immediately see the city from a different viewpoint. Your office may provide a bird’s-eye view of the city, but seeing the Windy City from the Chicago River or Lake Michigan is a breathtaking change of pace. Even if you’ve been on the water before, experiencing it with your coworkers will allow you to bond in a different way. Set your eyes on some of the tallest buildings that the Chicago skyline has to offer or see the full scope of the Windy City skyline as the sun goes down. Snap photos, enjoy a drink and talk about anything other than the stress of work.
The vessel itself has a lot of space that allows for fun, customizable events that you and your coworkers can enjoy! Besides the views, enjoy a live band of your choosing, rock out to a local DJ, or let your guard down by singing your favorite karaoke song surrounded by your coworkers. We’ve hosted events that have included entertainment from hula dancers to tailored line-dancing lessons! If you can think it, we can make it happen!
What’s a work happy hour without some decadent food and drink options to accompany it? We offer premier catering and beverage options to ensure nobody goes hungry or thirsty while aboard. Kick up your feet and enjoy some incredible local favorites such as Cafe Ba-Ba Reeba!, Mon Ami Gabi, Harry Caray’s Catering & Events, Entertaining Company, Summer House Santa Monica and Gino’s East. For drinks, we offer different levels of alcohol access depending on your needs, such as a Chicago Brews package and Wine Lovers’ package. Rest assured that no one will go hungry or thirsty while aboard!
A very special part of our fleet, Lady Grebe, is a 48-foot vintage yacht that is perfect for small yet impactful outings of 2-6 passengers. Take out some of your most important clients on the perfectly preserved mahogany deck that was built in Chicago in 1961. Sign that next business contract during a Chicago sunset cruise and make a toast using the premium beverages provided. The opportunities are endless.
Employees are accustomed to seasonal office outings once in a while, but throwing your next office get together on a Chicago River cruise will automatically make your employees feel special. Going the extra mile to provide an unforgettable experience will mean a lot to them and help them relieve built-up stress from work. Regardless if it’s your first few weeks with the company or you’ve known your coworkers for years, you’ll see them in a new light on this awesome adventure.
What are you waiting for to start planning your next office outing?! Our 2020 cruising season officially kicks off March 15th and extends through November 22nd! We look forward to having you and your company aboard for a night to remember!
