We’re SO excited!

The Parade of Tall Ships is coming to Chicago on August 24th. This is one of those “take your breath away…WOW! how awesome is this!” sights.

Twenty (yes, 20!) historic ships from around the world will parade into Chicago with their huge white sales billowing over Lake Michigan. All framed against our spectacular Chicago skyline.

We’ve got the best viewing spots on the lake to see the Tall Ships Parade as it sails into Navy Pier — the decks of our Free Spirit and Gypsy Spirit luxury yachts.

Now if you’re thinking, “Oh no. I’m busy on the 24th”, fear not. The ships will be in Chicago, docked at Navy Pier, through August 29th. That means you’ll have four other days when you can see them from a lakeside vantage point (and one of Captain Joe’s primo spots).

So if you’ve been talking about booking a private brunch, lunch, after-work or dinner charter, now you’ve got the best reason ever. Cause you can bet that this will be a memory your guests or clients will talk about for years to come!

To book your private charter, call 708.361.2220.

The weather was wondrous. The food fabulous. The people ready to party. And party they did!

Last Tues June 29th The Local Tourist (TLT), JenChicago, and Social Sami hosted a “Tweetup with a Twist” on our Free Spirit luxury yacht.

Over 50 people enjoyed a scrumptious Middle Eastern buffet from Dawali Mediterranean Kitchen, decadently delish cupcakes from The Goddess & Grocer and icy cold drinks.

There was music and dancing and door prizes from places you’ve always wanted to go. And as the cruise ended, each guest left with an “OMG! Look what’s in here!” goody bag filled with coupons for Cubs tickets and pizza tours and restaurant specials and more.

If you missed it, you missed a great time on Lake Michigan. But we just might have another tweetup cruise before the summer ends. So you’ll get another chance. In the meantime, here’s a video from JenChicago.
