    Went on a 3 hour cruise with Captain Dawn and Ted and wow did we have a great time. It’s well worth it to see Chicago from the lake, and no better way to get out on the water than on a sailboat. Will definitely reach out to this group again when I return to Chicago.

    A wonderful May sail. Great boat for 6 people to relax and enjoy the city skyline, while Ray tends to the sailing. Very competent sailor and friendly.

    Ray and Cassidy were great! We didn't have a planned route or destination so Ray chose his own and it was incredible! The views were amazing and we had the best seats in the house to the Air and Water show! Ray and Cassidy were both friendly and knowledgeable through the whole experience. We couldn't have asked for a better crew! The boat was beautiful and a couple of us even had a chance to steer it. All around amazing.

    We had an amazing time. I even spilled a little wine and they helped us clean it up quickly with no problems. The captain explained everything so easily. I’d definitely do it all over again. Thank you for a great experience!

    Ray and Cassidy were very friendly, and allowed us to help sail the vessel as we requested. Ray is very qualified and enjoys sailing. I'm sure we could have laid back and relaxed as they did all of the work, but I think our experience was much better for having been more involved. Thanks, and we'll definitely use Ray again if we are back in the area and have the chance!

Summer in Chicago is short and sweet. So make the most of it with a USCG licensed captain on our boat Siren Song! Captain Ray, Ted, and Dawn will show you the Navy Pier Fireworks, Air and Water Show, and beautiful Chicago sights from our gorgeous sailboat. She was built in Holland, MI made for sailing the Great Lakes.
