Sail away on a three-story luxury yacht with a full bar and dance floor for you to party the night away on the water. Bundle up to soak up the glittering New Year’s Eve scene on an outside deck or stay inside on the climate-controlled floors and gaze at the views from there.
Choose from an Eve of the Eve Cocktail Cruise on December 30, from 8-11 pm or a Sunset Cocktail Cruise on December 31 from 4:30-7:30 pm. The earlybird discount for both cruises starts at $20 and $26.75 after fees. The discount lasts until tickets sell out at that price, so purchase tickets as soon as possible.
To splurge on an all-inclusive fireworks cruise on December 31 at 9:45 pm until 1:30 am, which includes drinks, desserts and sparkling wine, snap up tickets starting at $112.76 before they sell out.
All ticket holders must be 21 or older. The boats leave from Burnham Harbor at 1559 S, South Shore Drive
