Private Cycleboat Lakefront Cruise
Description
Chicago’s most exciting lakefront adventure now comes with a swim ladder! New for Summer 2025, our Cycleboat Lakefront Cruise now comes with the option to anchor up and go for a swim. We’ve got inflatable water toys on board, but BYO towels. Swimming is available Wednesday - Sunday, from 10am - 8pm.
The Cycleboat Lakefront cruise is a fantastic way to cruise Lake Michigan and enjoy the city views and lakefront energy. Our Cycleboat is equipped with 10 cycle stations and additional seating to accommodate up to 20 passengers. All rides are BYOB, can be booked anywhere from 2-4 hours long and depart from 400 E. Monroe St. You’ll find us docked just south of the Chicago Yacht Club at Monroe Harbor on the Lakefront Trail.

We will ask you to show your digital waiver confirmation email before boarding the boat.
