Chicago Electric Boat Company - Rockwell on the River

Pretend like you own a boat—if only for a few hours—with the help of Chicago Electric Boat Company’s Avondale outpost, where you can launch a number of vessels for a leisurely cruise along the Chicago River. Unlike other local boat rental outfits, Chicago Electric Boat Company lets you drive your own boat (provided you’re over 21 and have a valid driver’s license) and is BYOB, though you’re also free to book a tour guide if you prefer to sit back and sip a drink or two.
