Preferred Rental Program

Fractional Sailing (Timesharing) of a vessel is an increasingly popular way for avid sailors to enjoy the adventure of sailing without the expense and hassle of boat ownership. While other programs offer alternative to boat ownership, Chicago Sailing Inc.’s Preferred Rental Program PRP stands alone as an intelligent choice for several reasons.

With over twenty years as Chicago’s sailboat rental authority Chicago Sailing understands all aspects of fractional sailing. Our Preferred Rental Program was created to serve a limited number of preferred sailors, those looking for a convenient, practical, and affordable alternative to boat ownership.

Chicago Sailing's PRP maximizes a sailor's actual sailing usage. Our years of experience clearly demonstrates that the average sailor is rarely on the water for more than a few hours on any given day. When given the choice, sailors choose the PRP's wide range and number of sailing times (as many as 54 per season) over other fractional programs that offer a limited number of 12-hour time slots. Why pay for sailing time that largely goes unused? With Chicago Sailing's PRP there are no limits on your ability to trade for added sailing time whenever that need arises. Even the most avid sailors will be challenged to fully enjoy all the sailing time that is available.
