Corporate charters

Set Sail Chicago offers team recognition events and client entertainment opportunities. Our licensed Coast Guard captain and crew will provide a coastal tour of the Chicago skyline while handling all the sailing.  Set Sail Chicago takes care of everything so you can enjoy your time in the wind and on the water, as relaxed or involved as you want to be.  Gaze at a fireworks display, watch the sun set behind the magical skyline, admire the moon rise over the lake or listen to a concert at Northerly Island.   We offer charters for the Chicago Air Show too!  We take care of everything so you can enjoy your time with your team or clients. Our experience is personal, flexible and we can accommodate most requests. Call us see how we can customize an event for your successful team or valuable clients.

Team Recognition Events: Celebrate a big team success or reward your high performers with a happy hour sailing cruise or a day of sailing on Lake Michigan.  Gift certificates are available upon request.

Client Entertainment: Spend a quality afternoon or evening sailing on Lake Michigan with your clients for a truly unique and relaxing Chicago experience.

Catering: Set Sail Chicago will provide catered gourmet food and beverages for your sailing cruise.  We will serve your guests hors d'oeuvres, meals and can even ice down a glass of bubbly for you!   We can also arrange special music or entertainment for your sailing cruise.
