Chicago Yacht Club hosts Special Needs Cruise

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Yacht Club's Special Needs Cruise brought hundreds to Lake Michigan waterfront Tuesday to see the city from a new perspective.

The club hosted more than 150 guests with special needs from Good Shepherd Manor, Helping Hands Rehabilitation, Misericordia Home, and St. Mary of Providence.

Passengers road in a parade-style cruise of 20 boats on Chicago's Lakefront.

The club said the boats went out past the end of Navy Pier, where passengers watched the Chicago Fire Department's boat shoot a fountain of water into the air.
