Cities were often built around rivers because they provide the necessary resources for successful trade and waterpark industries. Take advantage of our forefathers' foresight with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

The Lakefront Speedboat tour ferries up to 135 passengers along the shores of Lake Michigan, passing such famed sites as Navy Pier, the Museum Campus, Grant Park, and the Magnificent Mile, while captains dispense enlightening tidbits about the skyline's history and architecture. With speeds of up to 45 mph, the Seadog Extreme takes passengers on a thrill ride, on which two 1,400-horsepower engines move through slaloms and 180- to 360-degree turns. Alternatively, the river and lake architectural tour kicks off with a speedboat ride on the lakefront before passing through the locks and meandering through downtown and its opulent skyscrapers on the Chicago River. All tours depart from and return to Navy Pier. Click here to see a map of the tours' routes.

Seadog Cruises

Since 1996, the staff at Seadog Cruises has welcomed explorers aboard sophisticated, open-air speedboats for city tours. Over the years, they’ve led more than two million sightseers through Baltimore and Chicago on cruises that elucidate city histories, paying special attention to landmarks such as Baltimore’s Naval Reserve Center and Chicago’s Tribune Tower. Their fleet of watercraft uses low-sulfur diesel and four-stroke engines that produce lower emissions than older models, allowing eco-conscious passengers to rest easy and allowing fish to finally open their windows for some fresh water.

The Groupon Guide to: A Rendezvous with Your Bosom Buddy

A happenstance rendezvous with a beloved bosom buddy can be the spoonful of sugar in an otherwise unseemly world. Here are some best-to-be-heeded tips to making the most out of an encounter with your beloved companions:

  • Make sure to bring plenty of nibbles for both you and your chumly bud’s tummies. Some teatime sandwiches like some Cucumber Babyfingers or Little Ham Lords should do, and why not some salted fudge for after-meal yums?

  • Appreciate nature with your cherished accomplice. Enjoy an après-lunch learnabout through an educational garden or listen to the songs of the whippoorwills. Just try not to cry at their resplendent beauty.

  • Take your prized pal for a ride in your coupe. Adhere to the speed limits to avoid a talking-to and bring a taffeta scarf for you and your sweet compatriot.

  • Play the harp together!

  • It would just be velvet-on-vicars to watch the Sunday football match with your prince of friends, would it not? I think the Chiefs really have a chance this year if Cassel can show up and Jamaal Charles can’t bounce back from his surgery. It’s gonna be a bruiser…

Here’s how to be a big weirdo.

  • We went on a 30-minute speed boat ride and enjoyed it. I was able to take some great pictures of Chicago, Navy Pier and Ferris Wheel.

  • Architecture river tour was fantastic. Born and raised in Chicago, and I still learned many new things!
