    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.

    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!!!


    Romance and Value are Key!

    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)

    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.


    Loved our onboard adventure!

    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!
