Tips For Throwing An Amazing All White Yacht Party

Adeline’s Sea Moose all white yacht party has captured a special place in Chicago culture. Over the years they transcended boundaries and became widespread for heterosexual revelers as well. In 1979, Chicago’s largest all white party was hosted at Navy Pier. This event united over 5,000 participants and officially made these parties a mainstream style of celebration. Today people of all beliefs and sexual orientations routinely indulge in this undeniably fun party theme. Even though white parties can be hosted at virtually any type of venue, one variation is stealing the show in Chicago.

Due to the many advantages of hosting on the open water on a private yacht, all-white yacht parties have become a new favorite. At Adeline’s Sea Moose, guests get access to nothing but the most exquisite features that make your all-white yacht party special. These luxurious touches create a breathtaking environment. Over the years we have implemented this all-white yacht party theme for corporate events countless times, which has given us some truly valuable insight. To showcase what makes all white yacht parties stand out, we compiled a list of industry insider tips. These facts are impossible to ignore, so don’t hesitate to schedule your all-white yacht party of a lifetime at Adeline’s!

Tip #1: Serve All White Yacht Party Chicago Customize Drinks

When it comes having an amozing all white yacht party Chicago, one of the best places to highlight the white theme is with personalized cocktails. When on board Adeline’s Sea Moose, guests get access to nothing but premium drinks. Armed with a full service wet bar, our talented bartenders have the perfect setting to create masterpieces. Scorpion, Goddaughter, Pumpkin Pie Martini, Ramos Gin Fizz and Arches of Rome are just a few of the all white cocktails we offer at your all white yacht party. With our top shelf liquor services, the drink options are endless. We also make personalized drinks, so contact us to pick the perfect additions for your all white yacht party this summer.

Tip #2: Provide Exquisite All White Yacht Party Chicago Cuisine

Another prime place to showcase the spirit of an all white yacht party is through the food and entrées. Fortunately, this is where our diverse dining options shine. From high-end catering to personalized dishes created by private chefs, guests get to pick how far they want to go. This wide range of choices gives our clients an extra layer of control over the cuisine. Every aspect of the food can be tailored for your all white yacht party, so feel free to explore our options and share with us your desires.

Tip #3: All White Yacht Party Chicago Escape

Even though Chicago is filled with high-end venues, none can compete with the versatility of our yacht. Instead of confining guests to one area, we take the celebration to the open water with a wide selection of charters . Our yacht is licensed to traverse the Chicago River, which opens up doors to some epic excursions. Between visiting casinos and soaking in Navy Pier’s fireworks shows, each charter is an experience. Discover the best voyage to incorporate into your all white yacht party by browsing through our website!

Our Recommendations

Chicago's First Lady has long-term relationships with an exceptional list of vendors. They provide additional options and amenities for any private party aboard our fleet.

You do not need to use our listed vendors to enhance your private celebration, corporate outing, or other event; however, we are familiar with their work and highly recommend their services.

Additionally, you can turn part of your private cruise into a Chicago architecture tour - Just add the insight of a certified volunteer docent from the Chicago Architecture Center for an additional donation.

• When are the boats available for private parties?
• All of our boats are available to be rented for private events in the evenings (start times vary based on the boat and the day of the week). Additionally, Chicago's First Lady is available during the daytime Monday through Thursday for events concluding by 3 p.m. Chicago's Fair Lady is available Monday - Thursday mornings for breakfast events ending by 11a.
• Will we be the only party onboard?
• Yes, all of our boats are exclusive-use. You will be the only party onboard, and you won't share the boat with any other parties or events.
• How many boats do you have and how many guests can each boat accommodate?
• We have six yachts of varying sizes for you to choose from accommodating 2 - 250 guests. View our fleet options for corporate/social events and wedding events. Please note, the same boats are available for social events, corporate events, and weddings; however, we recommend having a reduced maximum guest count for weddings due to the extra components that often accompany weddings (cake table, gift table, etc.).
• Do I have to use one of your catering partners?
• Yes, catering is required and does have to come from one of our catering partners. Catering is a separate contract, so you would reach out to our catering partners directly for pricing and to book your catering package.
• What are the entertainment options?
• We offer complimentary use of the boat sound system with Sirius XM Radio or an auxiliary hookup for phone/mp3 player; or, you are welcome to hire a band or DJ. Other entertainment ideas include renting a photobooth or casino games or hiring a CAC docent or Skyline Commentator tour guide for a portion of your cruise time. Additionally, the City of Chicago puts on a firework display over Lake Michigan on summer Wednesdays and Saturdays.
• Can we have a narrated architecture tour during our private cruise?
• Yes. A narrated tour lasts one hour (the first hour of the cruise) and can be given by a Chicago Architecture Center docent ($400 docent fee to CAC) or by one of our trained Skyline Commentators ($100 fee). If you’d like a tour less than an hour, our Skyline Commentator can give a truncated tour.
• What happens if it rains?
• All of our boats have two levels – the upper deck is an open-air deck, and the lower deck is an enclosed, climate-controlled salon. Each salon is surrounded by large windows so you can stay dry and still take in the spectacular views. Vessels cruise rain or shine safely guided by our U.S. Coast Guard-trained captains and crew.
• How late can we cruise?
• You can cruise as late as midnight on any night of the week. If you are interested in an event ending after midnight, please give us a call at (847) 358-1330 to discuss.
• When are the fireworks displays over Lake Michigan?
• The City of Chicago puts on a firework display over Lake Michigan on Wednesdays (9:30 p.m.) and Saturdays (10:15 p.m.) from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The fireworks last about 15 – 20 minutes and are a fabulous bonus for those cruising with us on Wednesday and Saturday evenings! If you’d like to catch the entire show from the lake (which is the best spot for viewing the fireworks), you need to cruise until at least 10:15 pm on Wednesday evenings and at least 11 pm on Saturday evenings.
• Do you charge extra on holiday weekends?
• No, we do not charge extra on holiday weekends.
• Where is your dock located?

Our dock is located at the northeast corner of N. Michigan Avenue and E. Wacker Drive along the Chicago Riverwalk. For GPS purposes, use 112 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601. Please note, we are on the Riverwalk, two levels down from street-level. Visit our location page for more details including accessible drop-off information.

• Edith R 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Good time, good music. If Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks is in your bucket list, then do it. It is a total chaos to board. 6 boats board in the same pier, without any lines or direction. The security people were patient with the Impatient party goers. The best view is in the front of the boat or the top deck. Get chairs and claim your spot when you get on the boat. The music is very good. They have 2 dj one inside and one outside. Would I ever do it again? Probably not, but overall it was a good experience and it was in my bucket list. Oh, very family friendly, very safe, tons of security, Read more Written July 4, 2021
• mlash223 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles i Events refused to give us a refund for a canceled 4th of July cruise. Booked our cruise through i Events. Because of Covid 19, the cruise was canceled. We checked with Great Point for our refund and they said we had to go through their booking agent, i Events. i Events would not answer our emails and we were unable to contact them by phone. Total rip off!!!!!!!!!!! Read more Written September 1, 2020
• donald t 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles DO NOT USE IEVENTS!!!! DO NOT USE IEVENTS!!! Booked July 4th Fireworks cruise in New York City on Audubon Yacht back in February. I even purchased the insurance in case something happened and we could not go. All cruises were cancelled due to Covid-19. I get it, It is unusual times and who knows when things would change. No refund has been issued yet. I called the company that runs the cruise and they said because I purchased the tickets on IEvents.com that I would have to get the refund through them. I called IEvents several times and only get a recording. Emailed three times and only get "email received." No other contact from them. Again, unusual times, but if we were treated appropriately would have considered rebooking for later event. Well, that ship has definitely passed. Read more Written August 13, 2020

They had an old DJ with very old musics. No fire work no live music an no food, just a very little appetizer. I regret this for rest of my life. Read more Written January 1, 2020
• Rachel F 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Horrible This excursion started off so bad that we ended up leaving before even getting on the boat. It was complete chaos, the boat resembled more of a small lobster boat, and the staff seemed very unprofessional, swearing and yelling, and audibly complaining about the customers. The experience was so uncomfortable that we opted to forgo the excursion, even though it cost us a pretty penny & was the reason why we came to NYC this weekend. Read more Written July 6, 2019
• A-ro911 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Not worth it This was an extremely over priced event. Getting on the boat was unorganized. The music was so loud through the entire time, you couldn’t even talk to the people seated next to you. The food was mediocre. The staff was walking around eating before all the guests got food. The staff also started drinking during the cruise. It was extremely unprofessional. We were almost an hour late getting back and exiting the boat was also extremely unorganized and dangerous. Not worth the money or the hassle. Read more Written July 5, 2019
• irealreview 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worse Expensive Experience Ever Worse Expensive Experience Ever. First off. They made us go to 14th Street and pick up the tickets. Then there was no organization for going onto and off the boat. (NYPD needs to investigate, will send videos to them). Then the food was nothing more then a buffet and not anything worth the money you expect when you pay top price for the event. The boat was possibly the largest and further to the fireworks. I can’t understand anyone that has or will leave a possible review. To be honest. It was not worth the money we spent and hopefully no one will book this event or boat ever. Decommission ASAP.
