In honor of Carlos Zambrano reaching the 100-win mark, we set out to answer the age-old debate once and for all: Which is faster? A Venezuelan fastball or a speedboat?

With today's Groupon, $13 gets you a 30-minute speedboat and sightseeing tour with Seadog Cruises (unscheduled walk-up tickets are valued up to $26, including taxes and fees, depending on when you go). Depart from the south side of Navy Pier (600 E. Grand Ave.) and race along the water while enjoying Chicago's beautiful sights, including Navy Pier, Museum Campus, the Sears Tower, Buckingham Fountain, and Grant Park. It's the perfect opportunity to show out-of-town guests the city and a different way for Chicagoans to enjoy the lake.
Avoid the Saturday speedboat-tour rush by taking advantage of a romantic dusk cruise during the week. You'll see local attractions like you've never seen them before—illuminated by the moon and blurred by the boat's immense speed.
This is a great chance to show your friends and family the city in a whole new way by maximizing the number of attractions it's possible to see in one tour. Since speedboats average 74 knots and the tour lasts 30 minutes, you have the potential to see up to 475 sights seen per tour. (Though the boat will probably go a little slower, so you can appreciate the sites and obey the law.) Don't miss the boat on this exhilarating experience.
This Groupon excludes Seadog tours that depart between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and during the weekends of 4th of July and the Chicago Air & Water Show.
