What a fun, unique way to enjoy Chicago's lakefront on a real topsail schooner! After boarding, we were invited to sit back and enjoy the narrated tour or assist the crew in raising the sails. There were so many great photo ops of the Chicago skyline, the lighthouse, etc. And the skipper gladly took great phone pics of us at the wheel making sure to get both the sails and skyline in the background. Because he only uses the engine when he has to, we were treated to an authentic sailing experience along Chicago's beautiful lakefront on an amazingly warm, sunny September day.
