Boat rentals in Chicago is the perfect way to spend your summer. Being a bustling city, there is no shortage of things to do in Chicago on your boat rental, which carries on into its surrounding waters. Here are three of our favorite things to do when renting a boat in Chicago to give you an idea of what to expect.
Gaze Skywards at the Towering Architecture
Taking a rental boat down the Chicago River is perhaps the best way to see the city. Fit this in at the start or end of your stay in Chicago so you can get some ideas on what you want to see or use it to reflect upon what you saw during your stay.
Watch the Sun Set Upon the Skyline
As the evening begins to encroach, take the boat a good distance away from the city. With the sun setting from the west behind the city, you'll be able to see its soft glamour in between the city as it gently falls.
Finish your Day with Waterfront Fireworks
Once the sun has set cruise your Chicago boat rental through the Chicago Riverwalk to where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan. Every Wednesday and Saturday evening, a great display is put on, illuminating Chicago's skyline by night - what better way to see it than from the lake?
