Chicago Boat Tours in March?

Question

I have been looking online and most of the boat tours in Chicago start their season in late March, April, May and on. Does anyone know of any boat tours that will be operating around March 13-16?

Answer 1

I do not think a tour in March is possible. Most do not start until April because of the cold weather. I will look for something in case you are able to visit later.

Wendella Boats

Tours are offered seven days a week, April through November. All depart from our dock at 400 North Michigan Avenue, the northwest corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge.

Probably contact this one for a private tour. They are a private company and might be able to go if the weather is warm enough.
