And if you want the best viewing spot on Lake Michigan, we’ve got one charter open. But you need to move fast! Our cozy and intimate Gypsy Spirit luxury yacht is available for charter on Sunday, August 19th (yep, we’re all booked on Saturday). The Gypsy holds up to 50 people, so gather up your most fun friends…. or poll the team at your office… to see who’s in for 4 hours of spectacular aerial viewing on Lake Michigan. You’ll enjoy an amazing buffet, icy cold beverages and a show you’ll talk about for years to come!
See what our clients say about the Air & Water Show Charters…..
“My wife and I are avid Air Show fans and attend at least 15 shows per year throughout the country. Thanks to you & your Team’s outstanding hospitality, the Chicago Air & Water Show is now our favorite! The food was delicious, the staff was both courteous & attentive & Captain Joe expertly piloted the Free Spirit to some memorable vantage points! …our Free Spirit experience exceeded our expectations in value & service. We plan to take advantage of this Chicago Gem in the very near future.”

We’re crossing our fingers as we say this. Cause we all know how tricky Chicago weather can be.
But so far, the Winter of 2011 has not been too bad. Yes, we’ve escaped a bit down in Florida….and it was lovely to be out on a boat though it wasn’t like being aboard a Free Spirit yacht on Lake Michigan. But we’re home, staying warm inside and busy getting ready for the holidays.
Speaking of holidays, we’ve got the perfect gift for family, friends and colleagues. Enough with the sox and scarves and mittens! Give something truly special this year. Something to look forward to. A gift of relaxation and fun. Yes, we’re talking gift certificates for our Merlot & Massage Cruises.
Who wouldn’t love a 2-1/2 hour cruise, relaxing on a Free Spirit luxury yacht, cruising Lake Michigan, dining on a scrumptious light buffet, drinking wonderful wine and enjoying soothing hand, foot and chair massages from Chicago’s Lincoln Park Massage Spa?
We’ve got two dates to choose from (or pick both): Tues, June 5, 2012 or Tues, June 19, 2012.
If you’ve never enjoyed one of these cruises, check out the video and see what you’re missing.

In the meantime, Happy Holidays to you and yours from all of us at Free Spirit Yacht Cruises.
There’s been a lot of talk about the weather lately. As a matter of fact, the number one question we get when booking a charter is, “What happens if it rains?”
The other day I was walking along the lakefront, it was beautiful, sunny, perfect temperature…I felt like I was on vacation. In a matter of minutes, the wind switched out of the north, the fog rolled in and the temperature dropped 15 degrees. That’s Chicago!
Oh yea. “What happens if it rains or the weather won’t cooperate?”
We will proceed as scheduled. Our yachts are large enough to have your group inside, the food will have been ordered, and your guests invited. We’ve hosted lots of parties and meetings when the weather was less than ideal.
This May has been less than ideal and this is what our clients are saying:
“Thank you so much for a great time on Friday. The food, drinks, and experience were great. I grew up sailing on Lake Michigan..it brought back a ton of great memories…”
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.
Much as we miss being out on our yachts on Lake Michigan, winter is the time when Captain Joe and I get time to work on planning fun events for you.
So even in the off-season, we’re working. We’re holed up (right now in chilly Florida) planning all sorts of fun yacht parties for 2010 — wine and cheese tastings, champagne and chocolate, yoga and massage, even a “Disconnect” Networking party (more on that to come)….to name a few.
We’re also busy booking meetings, events and private parties…. including a bunch on the books for 2011.
And in the past few weeks, we’re getting more and more calls from future brides. Not too surprising since weddings need to be planned well ahead of time. We’ve seen more than one occasion where a bride ended up moving her wedding date cause one or the other of our yachts was taken.
Meeting and event planners already know how the date crunches work. Brides, not so much. So our best advice to anyone planning a private yacht charter event – book early! Don’t wait. Lock in the date you want before someone else does.
Whatever you’ve got in mind — a beautiful morning brunch — a sophisticated, intimate cocktail party — a lavish and elegant dinner buffet — rock’n’roll casual party – or a Chicago-themed event. We can do it!
Our yachts are wonderfully inviting…. luxurious and comfortable. Our crews are top-notch – experienced, attentive professionals.As a family-owned and operated business, we can pretty much promise youa fabulously relaxing and memorable event when you book a Free Spirit Yacht Cruises charter.
Please keep us in mind for all your private parties and company meetings and events. We’re always available and happy to answer any questions at 708-361-2220.
