Sail aboard the Tall Ship WINDY!
Chicago's Official Tall Ship!
Today's Adventure...
We are ready for you this sailing season, are you ready have a great time with us? Have you made your reservations yet?
We are proud to bring you new and exciting Educational Programs, creative and inspiring Tall Ship adventures each day and evening.
Sample our newest tour-- "Real Pirates of the Inland Seas", which takes you on a voyage of discovery about how pirates plied the Great Lakes,
and the daring folks who defended our shores! Cruise our pages for many new seafaring adventures and special events,
all departing from our home base on Chicago's best loved tourist destination, Navy Pier!
The WINDY is a 148 foot traditional four masted gaff topsail schooner/Tall Ship.
Built of modern materials, but like the old trading schooners and sail training ships,
the WINDY has all the character and charm of the great Age of Sail.
The WINDY fully meets all appropriate United States Coast Guard regulations. Windy can accommodate up to 150 passengers.

Highlights for 2010
These public cruises are 60, 75 or 90 minute long, are the family favorites!
Each day of our sailings are unique, with every trip dependent on the direction of the wind. Don't believe me, read our guest book!
No two tours are alike. Each sail also has a tour theme led by our enthusiastic crew-educators, many of whom have experience in the study of history, maritime lore, the arts, music, and theatre and are ready to bring their experience to enhance your enjoyment aboard Windy!
You can simply relax on deck in quiet, or gather around for storytelling and hands-on fun!
These educational cruises are offered to school, church, scouts, corporations, and other groups.
This program provides a variety of hands-on activities and several talks on topics including maritime history,
sailing, maritime arts, physics, navigation, marlinespike, seamanship, marine wildlife, group dynamics and the like.
Call to discuss your desires, as we can design an event for your students.
We already have a great program for badge work for Girl Scouts! Programs are designed for each group.
Much more details are located on the Education page on the web site. In 2009, over 8,000 students sailed with us!
