Although there are other excursion boats in Chicago, ours stands out because you’re riding on an actual piece of Chicago History. Our flagship vessel is the Fred A. Busse, which was an active Fireboat for the Chicago Fire Department from 1937 until 1981.

Chicago Fireboat Tours offers many different types of cruising experiences like a sunset, historical, architectural, specialty, private charters, events, brews, fireworks, Lake Michigan, Chicago River, and more. Tours are available daily. The vessel leaves on the pier between Monroe and DuSable Harbor east of Millennium and Maggie Daley Parks, and south of Navy Pier.
