The weather was perfect and our 5pm trip wasn’t fully sold so we loved the time on the boat. There was a large, polite crew. We enjoyed the tour and the sailing but would have preferred more focus on the architectural aspects and less on the pirates.

Thank you for your feedback. It is a delicate balance between too much narration and not enough narration. We will definitely use your input for next season and hope you'll join us again.

Nicely maintained vessel. Experienced crew. This was not a sunset cruise since the sun sets behind the skyscrapers. Chicago skyline after sunset was beautiful! All sails where up & really enjoyed the fresh lake air away from the city & diesel fumes.

We couldn’t find the place. Drove around and around and walked miles. No one could help, taxi driver tried and tried. We followed the directions to the best of our ability. 😞 I saved for months and traveled 1,500 miles to do it.
