Welcome to Our Special Charter Pairings & Packages!
Pairing Navy Pier Fireworks, the Chicago Air and Water Show, and the concerts and cultural events in Millennium Park, Grant Park, and Northerly Island with a pampered private Adeline’s Sea Moose yacht charter elevates these lakefront activities and enriches the cherished memories they create.
And because Adeline’s Sea Moose is just a leisurely walk from the Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum, our Lake Michigan or Chicago River pampered private yachting experience becomes the perfect complement to a day spent with family and friends—an effortless, heartfelt way to make meaningful moments feel even more special.
A Chicago Private Yacht Rentals team member would be delighted to discuss pricing and curate an elevated package for your perfect pampered private yachting experience aboard Adeline’s Sea Moose.
Chicago Navy Pier Fireworks
Sit back relax and enjoy being pampered watching Chicago Navy Pier Fireworks on Wednesday and Saturday nights from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend from the comfort and privacy of Adeline’s Sea Moose.
The Navy Pier Fireworks are award‑winning, choreographed pyrotechnic shows launched from a barge off Navy Pier, set to music and framed by Chicago’s skyline. They are consistently voted one of the best fireworks experiences in the U.S.
