Guests may bring their own snacks and drinks (BYOB) on most trips, and catering is available as an add-on for select charters.
Evening fireworks cruises run seasonally on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day, providing direct views of the Navy Pier fireworks during those scheduled nights. Boat training is included for self-drive pontoons so guests can take the helm with crew guidance.

In addition to Chicago-based boat rentals and yacht charters, the business offers a Stand Up Paddleboard Lesson & Eco Tour listed for the Jersey Shore location, designed for beginner-friendly instruction and wildlife viewing for participants ages 12 and up.
