Tall ship windy chicago sailing reviews.

We went on the "pirate" cruise. They told tales of actual Lake Michigan pirates and made it very entertaining for the kids and the adults. I want to go on this cruise again!

We went on the Lakeside Architecture Tour. It was a very educational and relaxing seventy-five minutes. I highly recommend the experience.

I've set sail on Tall Ship Windy 4-5 times over the past few years, and it is always a good time. You get a nice view of the city and the crew is entertaining and knowledgeable.

If you want humor, entertainment, and an inclusive experience for young and the old, don’t miss this! I appreciate everything about this adventure, and Austin you’re the best!

Had a wonderful sail on a chilly, overcast night! Crew was professional, friendly and informative. Would recommend this trip to anyone, so relaxing. Oh, used a Groupon, an extra bonus!

Best view of the city! Highly recommend the 7pm sail to watch the sunset between the buildings. Fun and knowledgeable crew made the Windy the highlight of our Chicago visit.

The most fun tour we’ve had of Chicago. The crew is fantastic and the tour guide is hilarious. His sense of humor really sets this tour apart from the rest, while still offering interesting insights on the city’s unique skyline. Loved it.

Loved our sail! I love sunsets and this in my opinion was the best way to experience the Chicago skyline. When I return I’d love to do another tour!

Honestly, a perfect experience. Exactly on-time departure and arrival. Perfect boat - size and look. The Captain and crew were friendly and knowledgable. My son raised the sail. Hard. Fun. An experience. The frozen drinks and cold beers were excellent. The views? Wow. A great soundtrack plays during the excursion at perfect volume level. A great time for all ages of Pirates. I guess I liked it :) Just do it. Thank me later.

The Tall Ship Windy is a must thing to do at Navy Pier. Very friendly and funny staff and always a good time, with beautiful views of the city of Chicago.

My husband and I just did the "Pirate and Maritime Stories" tour with Tall Ship Windy and it was fabulous. A lovely cruise around the Navy Pier, while hearing some fascinating pirate history about Chicago. We highly recommend this experience for any age!

I’m a life long Chicagoan and I brought my out of town relatives on this cruise and we all loved it! It was a gorgeous summer late afternoon and the city was just sparkling. I loved having a new view of the city. Crew excellent. My nephew helped hoist a sail. Narrator very entertaining and informative. I thought the price was great for the experience.

What a great experience! Beautiful and ever-changing views of the night skyline from the lake. When they hoisted the sails and turned off the motor, it was so peaceful. The incredible fireworks were the perfect ending to this cruise. Highly suggest!!

Premier Dinner Cruise on Lake Michigan

Essential Chicago

Explore More

Chi-town. It’s a destination celebrated for its idyllic location on Lake Michigan that offers amazing views of the landscape, famous local attractions, iconic architecture, and spectacular sunsets. In fact, it’s inspired numerous Hollywood movies , so we’re not surprised by anyone wanting to spend some time there.

Of course, finding the best locations to take everything in can take a little legwork if you’re not familiar with the area (and sometimes even if you are!). That’s where we come in. Because recommending where to capture spectacular sunsets—for your own eyes to feast on or to feature on the Gram—is something we have a good handle on, and we’re happy to share with you. So get ready to make the most of the golden hour, which is bound to elevate your stay in Chicago on every level.

Chicago Sunset Rooftop Views

Getting a bird’s eye view of Chicago is possible—even if you don’t have wings. Rooftop bars and restaurants provide the perfect perch where people can relax, see the city landscape, and indulge in some enticing food and drinks. For example, the Rooftop at Nobu Hotel Chicago —situated in the center of Chi-town’s celebrated Fulton Market—offers beautiful views of the city skyline right from its 11-floor location. Asian cuisine–inspired plates and a beverage list that includes sake, specialty cocktails, spirits, and wine, are all enjoyed in some seriously stylish surroundings.

Then there’s the chic, 26-floor Cerise Rooftop at Virgin Hotels Chicago , conveniently located in the heart of the Loop in downtown Chicago, right near the Magnificent Mile and Millennium Park. Pulling double duty as a cocktail lounge and nightclub, it features spectacular landscape views in a vibrant atmosphere and a full beverage list that includes killer cocktails.

the robey building in chicago

Meanwhile, for those wanting to head to the Wicker Park neighborhood, the attractive Art Deco design of The Robey (formally known as the Northwest Tower) may be what draws visitors in, but it’s the Cabana Club and The Up Room that keep them there. The former—found on the 6 th floor—features 180-degree views of the city skyline, light bites, and delectable drinks; the latter—located on the 13 th floor—is all about sleek surroundings, impressive cocktails, and breathtaking views.

Rock the Boat

Speaking of breathtaking views, nothing beats being on a boat when you’re in Chicago, how else could you make the most out of a sunset in Lake Michigan? And if you pair that trip with delicious food, drink, and entertainment, what else do you need? Not much we’d say, so that’s why we came up with the Premier Dinner Cruise on Lake Michigan . Take in picturesque views of the city skyline and local attractions—including the Adler Planetarium and Willis Tower—from the open-air roof decks. You can also opt for climate-controlled interiors if you’re so inclined. The chef-prepared plated menus featuring three courses, innovative cocktails, and seamless service make the cruise an unforgettable excursion and the ideal evening for anyone (local or tourist) to immerse themselves in the city.

Elevated Local Attractions for Sunset Views

The Lakefront Trail is also not to be missed since it’s one of the liveliest areas in town. The 18-mile attraction resides along the shores of Lake Michigan where you can find everything from art galleries and gardens to nature reserves and boat harbors (plus cycling and skateboarding trails). Of course, we’d be remiss not to mention 360 Chicago too because being located 1,000 feet above the Magnificent Mile is awe-inspiring! On the 94 th floor of the John Hancock Building is where you’ll find it, and the enclosed glass observatory has a tilting glass lookout ideal for watching the sun go down.

While there are plenty of sites to catch the sunset in Chicago, you won’t be able to hit them all—so choose wisely to make sure you don’t miss out on the wealth of activities and sights to see when you visit. A stay here can be magical if you make the most of it, and don’t worry if you miss the golden hour at least once because there will always be another opportunity to take it in.
