   Captained Charter this 36' C & C Cruising Monohull in Chicago, Illinois

   Amazing experience with top-notch communication from start to finish. Super responsive and incredibly knowledgeable—especially helpful for first-timers in Chicago. They guided us around the lake and to the perfect fireworks viewing spot, even capturing great photos for us. The captain was skilled and professional, and the music made the ride even better. Highly recommend!

   Sail & Swim from a Luxury Sailing Yacht

   This is an iconic trip in Chicago. I have always been on the river walk or on a kayak looking at people boats and thought "Those lucky kids." So this time I rented a sailboat to go out on the lake- even luckier! The operators are very organized and helpful. Everything was as expected from the site. Communication throughout was excellent. Thanks for lovely and memorable sail. I'm coming back to jump in the lake when the water temperature is a bit warmer :)

   Private Cruise onboard Hunter Legend Sailboat in Chicago

   We had an amazing time sailing around Lake Michigan with Captain Mitch! The marina was super easy to locate/get to, the boat was the perfect size for our group of four, and we really enjoyed our time on the water. I would highly recommend booking a trip with 3rd Coast!

   Captained Charter this 36' C & C Cruising Monohull in Chicago, Illinois

   I booked this experience because Nijole had amazing reviews — and now I truly know why. She is talented, no-nonsense host who knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable when you're aboard. We could not have been more grateful or had a better time. Thank you, Nijole! A superstar.

   No tie-ups: 39' Sailboat, Catalina 380 with huge cockpit

   Martin and his vessel were very well kept. The list of captains provided were very professional and polite. Martin was very prompt with communication and worked with each change needed through the process of scheduling the trip. I would very much so recommend him and his services. The trip was a success and enjoyable

   No tie-ups: 39' Sailboat, Catalina 380 with huge cockpit

   Martin's boat is great for a day on the water! It fit 12 of us comfortably. We were able to go from Belmont Harbor to the Playpen with plenty of time to swim and relax before having to head back. Also, Captain Matt and Jamie were awesome! They were looking out for both our fun and safety the whole time we were on board which was greatly appreciated.
