How it works
Chicago Boat Company provides a unique opportunity to explore the waterways using electric boats that are simple to operate. The fleet includes options suitable for both new and experienced boaters, offering a relaxed way to experience the city from the water. For those interested in a more social outing, the Cycleboat offers an interactive option where groups can pedal together on a 90- or 120-minute ride. This BYOB setting enhances the group experience, making it ideal for colleagues looking to bond outside of the office.
Choosing a private boat allows for a more intimate cruise, giving participants the chance to enjoy stunning city views at their own pace. The company encourages guests to take in the surroundings and appreciate the eco-friendly aspect of their journey. Whether opting for a private or group outing, each trip offers a fresh perspective of local sights from the comfort of a boat.

Our Review
Updated
Our first impression of the Chicago Boat Company's offerings is that they provide a refreshing and eco-friendly way for teams to engage in outdoor activities while enjoying the scenic beauty of the city. The electric boats are particularly appealing for teams looking to minimize their environmental impact while still having a memorable experience. The option to choose between a private boat and a more interactive Cycleboat allows for flexibility depending on the team’s dynamic and preferences. Private boats might be more suitable for smaller, established teams who appreciate a quieter setting, whereas the Cycleboat could be an excellent choice for larger or newer groups aiming to foster camaraderie through shared physical activity.
One thing to keep in mind is that while boating can be an exciting adventure, it may not suit all team types equally. Analytical teams might find the leisurely pace less engaging compared to more structured activities, whereas creative teams could thrive in this relaxed environment that encourages open conversation and idea sharing. Additionally, those who are not comfortable with water-based activities might feel out of their element. However, for those willing to embrace this unique setting, it offers a chance to break away from conventional office environments and explore new ways of collaboration and bonding.
