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.

It was a beautiful evening to be on the lake. Departure and return on time. Boat was clean, staff friendly and informative. Captain positioned the boat perfectly for our maximum viewing pleasure. I would highly recommend this for anyone who loves fireworks and would like to see the city of Chicago all glow in lights from the perfect vantage point.

I'd like to preface this point, this rating is based on the experience prior to the sail. I've never dealt with a company that was so clueless about how to confirm a reservation. I booked my reservation the Monday prior to the event. It said that it could take up to 48 hours to confirm the reservation. I called on Thursday and the reservation was still pending. They said they were calling the company but didn't hear anything. If they did a simple search on the company site, then they would've realized that they weren't open during the time they called. I called the WIndy City Sails myself and was able to confirm what should've been confirmed days before.

Viator was very defensive about their policies. When I read what their confirmation policy was, they were dumbfounded.

My recommendation is to go directly through the company that Viator works with since it'll be cheaper, their customer service is better, and it's less of a hassle going through a third party that seems to new to this business.
