Is there parking at Navy Pier?

Do you validate parking?

Unfortunately, we do not.

How long is each tour?

We offer four different cruises at varying lengths; 30 - Minute Lakefront Speedboat Tour, 30 - Minute Extreme Thrill Ride75 - Minute River and Lake Architectural Tour, and a 60 - Minute Lakefront Fireworks Cruise.

Is Seadog okay for all ages to ride?

Seadog offers something for everyone! We do not, however, recommend cruising for those with cardiac conditions or orthopedic conditions associated with the neck or back. It’s also not recommend for women in late terms of pregnancy. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult to cruise aboard any Seadog product. Don’t forget, you must be at least 48 inches to board Seadog’s Extreme Thrill Ride!

Do I need reservations?

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during June, July and August as well as holiday weekends fill up quickly so ensure your seat by calling 888-636-7737 and speaking with a helpful Call Center Representative or select your date on our calendar to book online! Although reservations are encouraged, they are not required and you can purchase tickets at the ticket booth on Navy Pier

Can I smoke on board?

Sorry, city ordinances prohibit smoking aboard all Seadog vessels.

Are food and drink allowed on board?

We do not sell food or beverages on board but you’re welcome to bring your own refreshments as long as there is no glass.

Will I get wet?

This is unlikely on Seadog’s 30 - Minute Lakefront Speedboat Tour, 75 - Minute River and Lake Architectural Tour, and a 60 - Minute Lakefront Fireworks Cruise. The 30 - Minute Extreme Thrill Ride boasts the highest chance of getting wet so plan accordingly! Seadog is an open-air speedboat so there’s always a possibility depending on lake and wind conditions.

Is the boat handicap accessible?

Our vessels are accessible for most standard manual wheelchairs.

Are there restrooms on every cruise?

Yes. Restrooms are located on all Seadog products.

When can we board?

Boarding begins fifteen minutes prior to scheduled departure. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to ensure enough time to get tickets.

What happens in the case of inclement weather?

If Seadog Cruises cancels your cruise due to inclement weather, you may reschedule your cruise date or receive a refund.

If we know in advance due that your cruise will be cancelled due to weather, you will receive a call from our contact center to reschedule. If you do not receive a call and/or are concerned about your cruise being cancelled because of weather, please call our reservation center at 1-888-636-7737 for more information on your specific cruise.

May I bring a stroller aboard?

Strollers remain stowed on dock while you enjoy your cruise. A Seadog staff member will diligently watch your items and return them upon docking back at Navy Pier.
