Mercury, Chicago’s Skyline Cruiseline is a fourth-generation family-owned and operated company for 85 years. The company was founded by Portuguese immigrant Arthur Agra and his wife Myrtle in the 1930s and remains the city’s longest continuous-running sightseeing boat company. The cruise line offers guests a front row seat to the city’s breathtaking skyline, historic landmarks and modern marvels through a variety of fun, special themed cruises and tours for all ages.
It is also the sister company of Chicago’s First Lady Cruises, an authentic tourism experience that explores the city’s rich architectural history through the official Chicago Architecture Foundation Center River Cruise. Both cruise lines are committed to enviro-friendly practices for continued sustainability. All vessels are operated by a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain and crew.
Safety Comes First
The safety of our guests and crew is our number one priority. After 85 years providing memorable cruises of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan for millions of guests, we are proud to say we have a perfect safety record.
All of our vessels are regulated, licensed and inspected by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) every year, and have undergone stability testing to ensure our guests are safe on their waterway experience. Our captains and deckhands go through an extensive training and drilling program that goes above and beyond the standards set by the USCG. Because we are committed to continuing education, we provide extra training every day to our crew.
If you have any questions on our safety training protocols or additional concerns, please contact us at 847-358-1330.
