Windy City Sailing is totally worth the money spent. Edwina and Joe run a tip top operation and adding the Saturday night fireworks into the B&B was OUTSTANDING! A+ Griff D.

February 29, 2008
We had wanted to go on an out of town getaway to celebrate our 3rd anniversary, but with our schedules, we couldn't make it work, and then I found Windy City Sailing!!! I wasn't sure what to expect (never chartered a boat before), but the boat was beautiful and clean, and the captain was great - had everything ready for us, and was the picture of discretion ; ) There is nothing that can compare to music, champagne and starlight! Our overnight on the boat was more romantic than our honeymoon - and we didn't even leave town!!!

The people at Windy City Sailing are wonderful not to mention their fantastic yacht. Windy City Sailing is a family run business and they are very proud of the service they offer. they yacht is spotless and very comfortable and the serivce we recieved was outstanding. The whole experience was VERY ROMANTIC and was worth the higher then average price. --Jen D (San Francisco)
5 out of 5A truly incredible experience
June 04, 2007
Thanks to Windy City Sailing and Josef, I had the most amazing evening of my life. I chose Nebula to be the site of my engagement and between the beautiful boat and the tremendous preparation and hospitality of Josef - including his willingness to assist me with a range of activities (from the best place to propose, to the wine and catering), I could not have asked for a better experience. I recommend Windy City Sailing across the board as it is a truly a first class operation with great people and a beautiful boat.

5 out of 5Loved our onboard adventure!
May 16, 2007
We had an amazing stay on this beautiful sailiboat - a very cool way to experience Chicago. The captain was great- we had the boat to ourselves until the morning sail. So looking forward to our next trip to Chicago...will definitely stay again!
4.4 out of 5B&B with on their sailboats was WONDERFUL!
May 16, 2007
Joe and Edwina were amazing hosts. Its a family operated business with amazing sailboats. Very romantic, clean and we had all the "alone" time we wanted on the boats. We were a little concerned about how much the owners/captain would be onboard. They checked us in and then we went sailing for the fireworks display off of Navy Pier. Great Show!. We came back to the harbor and Captain Joe left for the night. Late the next morning Captain Joe came down and took us our for another sail. Wonderful and totally worth the price. I give em 5 stars.
