Wonderful tour. Highly recommend! My honey and I decided to take a tour after a lovely brunch and these folks did not disappoint. I love this boat better than the others because it’s less people, and much more of an authentic experience. We had fun lifting the sails, heading the energetic stories from the staff, lots of laughs. My only recommendation would be to have some blankets on board, so make she thought bundle up on cool nights - it’s always a little chilly on board and the sweaters are $40. Overall highly recommend!

The grandkids were so excited to help pull up the sails and take a turn at the wheel. The pirate history was interesting. The technical aspects of setting the sails and turning the ship around were fascinating to my husband and brother. Lovely quiet experience with just the wind moving us across Lake Michigan.

Tons of fun! My fiancé and friends even got to help lift the sails, which was comical and enjoyable. The view of the the Chicago skyline was beautiful, and being out on the water was very peaceful.
