Hi, I’m Sommy! I’m the founder of HiFi Social, a Chicago-based hospitality group that brings unforgettable travel, event, and tour experiences to more than 550,000 guests across the U.S each year. Four of our brands specialize in marine and boating adventures here in Chicago—letting me combine my love for hospitality with more than two decades spent on the water. I’m a University of Chicago graduate and former varsity swimmer with a lifelong background in aquatics—coaching, lifeguarding, operations, and water safety—so creating safe, welcoming, and high-energy experiences is at the heart of everything we do. Today, our team operates a fleet of 22 yachts on Lake Michigan, hosting groups up to 150 passengers and welcoming over 40,000 guests each season. From celebrations to chill lake days, we’re here to bring great vibes, smooth service, and memorable moments to every charter.
