Swoop Scoop

You’ve seen Pirates of the Caribbean one too many times (well, it is Johnny Depp) or you’ve dressed up for “talk like a pirate” day. It’s fine. We all want to get out on the high seas, but you aren’t a real sea dog. But you can feel like one with today’s Swoop: $17 for a one-hour Navy Pier fireworks cruise aboard the Seadog (a $34 value). Choose from the following dates:

Okay, you don’t need to get a parrot or an eyepatch for this cruise, or even have the inkling for one. All you need to do is get on board the Seadog speedboat at 8:45 p.m. and speed off on to Lake Michigan. This isn't your grandmother's cruise either (though she might enjoy it), your captain will speed along the water at night, letting you enjoy the wind and water. You’ll get the best vantage points of Chicago’s skyline at night, with plenty of stops for photo opportunities. The boat departs Navy Pier at 9:00 p.m. to get the closest you can possibly get to the fireworks, which begin at 9:30 p.m. You’ll listen to music, dance, laugh and socialize with your tour guide, who can answer any Chicago questions that are nagging you. Being on the lake means you won’t have to push through crowds for a glimmer of sparkle in the air. Instead you’ll have panoramic views and one adventure to brag about. So swoop in on today’s deal and learn how to be a real sea dog.
