These older boats can be found docked at Navy Pier. I personally know of two of them. The Anita Dee and The Anita Dee II(2) . They are not luxury cruise boats, they are "down to earth boats" that will take you for a short cruise on Lake Michigan. They do have a lounge area and they host special events and private partys. I have attended a private party that was held on the Anita Dee and all one hundred plus people had a great time. There was even a rock band on board.
