You haven't tasted luxury until you've experienced a summer sail on a private charter. Picture this, you've got your sunglasses on, an ice cold beer in your hand, and NOTHING on your mind!
During this Getaway Sail, you'll have a glorious three hours to put your worries behind you and embrace the Lake Michigan breeze.
Experience Chicago from a totally new perspective as you witness the Chicago skyline, Navy Pier, Soldier Field, and the Museum Campus, all from the comfort of your own boat. And for your safety, all Phenix charters include the services of a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain.
Adding to the fun, you can bring up to 5 of your friends or family members to share this experience of a lifetime with you!
Relax on the front nets, lounge in the bean bags, tan on the deck, learn a few things about sailing, or straight up destress -- the choice is yours!
After all, this is YOUR boat...
Note: There is a maximum of 6 people per group.
3-Hour Afternoon Sailing

A Getaway Sail (Weekend) August 15, 2016I booked a 2 hour cruise with Phenix last week for myself and a group of 5 friends while we were in Chicago for a long weekend getaway. We had a terrific time. We all lounged on the netting of the catamaran as Captain Kevin and Gil took us for a sail. Both were very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, and it was a very relaxing experience. I won't lie, we felt pretty cool out on our private boat, as we passed by "tourist boats" packed full of passengers. The highlight was when we stopped for a swim. Having grown up on the northern Atlantic, the clear turquoise blue water of Lake Michigan was quite a change from what we were used to. The time did go by really quickly though (time flies when you're having fun I guess!) I think if I were to do it again I would instead book a 3 hour sail.

A Getaway Sail (Morning) July 25, 2016Kevin and Dawn were professional, safe, and so accommodating. They were so willing to bring us our drinks, cell phones, and snacks, back and forth on deck while our party lounged on the forward net. They also made sure we got our money's worth in terms of time, and they were happy to engage in conversation and share knowledge.

A Getaway Sail (Weekend) August 17, 2015I was in Chicago this weekend with my family and we rented a catamaran for a morning sail the Friday before the Chicago air and boat show. It was a great experience everyone loved it. The website says that the morning is one of the best times to sail in Lake Michigan and I would have to agree! The weather was cool and comfortable, there were few other boats out, the water was calm and the views were great! Not only is Kevin a great boat captain but he also assisted in serving us drinks and taking group pictures. We had a fantastic time. It was a unique experience and I'd love to do it again sometime when we are back!

3-Hour Morning Sailing July 27, 2015Just a beautiful way to experience Chicago and the fabulous Lake Michigan. Captain Kevin and his crew person make this a special event. The catamaran is an extremely comfortable way to travel. You can bring food and drink but for 2 - 3 hours it isn't needed and they have a cooler of drinks. Recommend a morning sail, and if you are up for it you can go at 6 or 7 AM, awesome sunrise across the lake to the city. I recommend this ftrip as best suited for adults and older children. I would definitely do this again.

Morning Sailing July 27, 2015Capt. Kevin was very professional and made us feel right at home onboard. Weather was perfect, boat was fantastic. Really couldn't have been any better! We will be back for a sunset cruise next month!

4-Hour Morning Sailing July 26, 2015Absolutely loved sailing on the Phenix with Captain Kevin (and wife Dawn) on our vacation. You get great views of the city from the water off DuSable Harbor! The catamaran provided a comfy ride. Hosts were very gracious. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
