We had so much fun on this yacht! Everyone's costumes were fun to look at, Chicago is beautiful at night, the dance floor was fun and usually not overpacked. Two different styles of music to choose from. The bar is pretty slow, so VIP tickets are worth it. You get your own bar with fewer people fighting for it. Order most of the drinks you want as soon as you get on. Around 1:30am, the bar line will die down, and if you want to get one more then, you can.

Last night, a group of friends and I went to the "Chicago Halloween - The Black Pearl Yacht Party" at Navy Pier hosted by VIP Nightlife, and all I have to say is DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Unbelievably disappointing... And I have never written a Yelp review, let alone a bad one, but with this experience I had to. The yacht took an extra half hour to board (which it's only a "2 hour" cruise), then we immediately got in the bar lines--half of our group in 1 on the first floor, the other half in the one on the 2nd floor. There were only 3 bartenders on the entire yacht of 500-600 party-goers. We had maybe 25 people ahead of us and we waited for 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES before we got our drink at the bar.. by that time the "party" was ending in 25 minutes--our other friends didn't even make it to the front of their bar. Everyone in the lines were talking about wanting to leave bad reviews for how long they were waiting, but you apparently can't find 1 single review of this company or experience on any website or Google search. They also have nearly 100k likes on their Facebook page but each post only gets maybe 6 likes and the comments are hidden? Seems fishy if you ask me. The yacht also left the dock, made it about 20 feet away, and then re-docked and never departed again--we didn't even go out on the water! We got on a yacht, stood in a line for an hour and 15 minutes with unbelievably slow bartenders, got an overpriced drink and then left.. The atmosphere wasn't even good either. The dance floor had some colored lights but then the overhead cabin lights were on the entire time. It reminded me of our 8th grade dance cruise that we did on the SAME boat through our middle school... really sad. We all couldn't wait to leave and were so frustrated because we thought we were going to experience a really fun Halloween party. We went to a bar in Lake View for 20 minutes before they closed and had a thousand times better of an experience there, with not only fast bartenders but an awesome atmosphere that we WISH the boat had. Yeah.. We were all shocked and dumbfounded by how much of a bust it was... Please PLEASE do yourself a favor and do not attend one of these--crazy amount of money wasted to stand in a line when we should've just gone to a bar. I feel bad for the people that purchased VIP tickets for this.

Credit Card & ID:

• You must present the original credit card used to purchase the ticket and a valid Government Issued Photo Identification (along with your e-tickets that have been emailed to you via Eventbrite when your order was placed): the name on both the credit card and ID match the name on your purchased tickets, in order to gain entry to the event. If the name on the Credit Card and/or ID does not match the tickets, or if you do not have both the credit card used to make the purchase and government issued identification, you will be denied entry to event without a refund.

Covid Policy:

• No credit or refund will be issued as a result of the ticket purchaser or any person in the party contracting COVID-19 or a variant alike. By purchasing tickets to a VIP Nightlife Event, you understand and agree that tickets are non-refundable and you are assuming the risk that you may not be able to use tickets purchased if you contract COVID-19 or variants alike. You further agree that you will not attend any VIP Nightlife event if you currently have symptoms of COVID-19, have been exposed to COVID-19 prior to attending and/or have tested positive for COVID-19 and have not completed the CDC recommended quarantine period. Be advised attendees may be required to show proof of vaccine and/or a negative test result. As the rules for events vary by location and change often, please check your local listing and respective government authorities for any applicable rules that may apply to you. You will not receive a refund if you are unable to attend an event due to any non-compliance with local rules, event guidelines, vaccine status, or failure to provide a negative test result. However, VIP Nightlife may allow you to transfer your tickets for any reason to another person by having the ticket purchaser email customer service within 24 hours of the event [email protected] with a copy of the original ticket purchaser's photo ID and credit card used to purchase the tickets along with the email address and name of the customer to whom the tickets will be transferred. Please be advised that VIP Nightlife may not be able to honor all requests for transfers if they are made outside of business hours or too close to the time of the actual event.
• If you encounter a problem at the event, you must file a complaint with Promoter within 5 calendar days following the date of the event; failure to contact Promoter within the 5-day period will be a complete waiver of your right to request compensation whether monetary or otherwise.
