Tour highlights include iconic landmarks such as Willis Tower, The Merchandise Mart, Centennial Fountain and Arc, Chicago Harbor Light, and Soldier Field.
OUR VESSELS
Going on a RIB boat tour with Blackhawk Boat Tours in Chicago offers a truly unparalleled experience. As you step aboard our vessel, decommissioned from the USS Laboon, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer, you're immediately enveloped in a sense of adventure and fun.
Being on a small private boat enables us to not only access hidden gems and lesser-known corners of Chicago that larger boats simply can't reach, but also mix a leisure ride with some thrill. Starting at only $50/person, book your tour below!
