Captained Charters

Your licensed charter captain will do all the work. You and your family and friends are free to sit back and enjoy Lake Michigan in comfort and safety. Or, take the helm and control your own destiny as captain of your ship. chicago sailing

Our charters are a creative alternative for entertaining important clients in a casual, outdoor setting. Sailing is easy for everyone to enjoy, regardless of his or her sailing experience. It is a great way to involve all members of your group in an activity that requires no level of proficiency.

We can provide the setting for that perfect date, an adventure that will remain a special moment forever. Chicago Sailing Charters have hosted many romantic occasions (and yes, a few marriage proposals). They are also an enchanting way to celebrate an anniversary, bachelor(ette) parties, showers, and birthday parties.

We offer charters to fit your needs on a variety of boats. Choose from our J/22's, our J/30, T-10, our four Hunter-326's, and Parvenu (our Valiant-47).

J/22s are perfect for groups up to four who are looking for the thrill of zipping along on a performance keelboat. It is popular for its ease of handling and sports-car feel. J/30s are roomier, offering cabin space for a greater degree of comfort (and a marine head). The J/30 & T-10 accommodate six passengers on charters. The Hunter-326's offer additional room, luxury, and comfort designed to a level not normally associated with charter boats. Parvenu is the ultimate luxury sailboat experience, a special boat available for special experiences on Lake Michigan - whatever the excuse.
