What To Expect

Navy Pier

Departing Navy Pier every Wednesday and Saturday night, Tall Ship Windy offers you some sailing time aboard this historic four-mast schooner to enjoy prior to the fireworks display. During all of our excursions, you can help us with some of the sailing duties, like hoisting the sails or steering the boat with our large wooden ships wheel. You can simply relax on deck in quiet, or gather around for storytelling and hands-on fun!

Lake Michigan

Grab a cool drink from our bar, relax, and enjoy a leisurely evening sail past the brilliant and beautiful Chicago skyline. Then, join our storytellers on the main deck, if you dare. As night falls and the seas grow dim, journey through the misty curtains of time to uncover the mystery, history, legend, and lore of our Spirit Ships and Haunted Harbors.

Chicago Skyline

Aboard the 148' Tall Ship Windy, you will sail along Chicago's world famous skyline. Aboard the official ship for the City of Chicago, you will be able to see in dramatic style the Wednesday and Friday fireworks in style.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Well managed and entertaining event. The ship is very clean and there is plenty of casual seating. For those concerned about motion sickness, there is very little movement of the boat. The fireworks were great and beautiful.

We recently treated a friend from out of town to this fireworks tour on the tall sail boat. The three of us had a wonderful time enjoying a gentle sailing trip on Lake Michigan with a spectacular view of the city. The fireworks made it just a perfect evening as the ship takes up a front seat position to view the fireworks. Those 20 minutes were spectacular! And our friend truly enjoyed it and love the Chicago skyline. We will be back!
