The fireworks with the city background and from the sailboat were wonderful. The pity is that it was in English

The ships sails out to the lake and gives a beautiful view of the Chicago skyline and fireworks. However, there were far more passengers than places to sit on the ship. For nearly $90 per ticket, I was really expecting to be able to sit down. Also the crew does a lot of shouting during the voyage. They especially shout at passengers standing in areas that impede the operation of the sail boat. This is understandable, but if all of the passengers had a place to sit the crew wouldn’t need to yell at us to get out of the way all the time. Also the boarding process was extremely inefficient. They didn’t let passengers board until about 15 minutes before departure, but then seemed to let a group onto the ship every 2-3 minutes. The line was barely moving until like 2 minute before departure when the crew decided to let everybody on (while shouting at us of course). Chicago is beautiful and the fireworks were stunning, but I saw a lot of other ships on the water and would book with literally any other company before returning to the Talk Ship Windy.

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 moter, it was so peaceful. The incredible fireworks were the perfect ending to this cruise.
Highly suggest!!

Never got to see it ,
It was my fiancés birthday dinner
We were late ,
The guy at boat said he couldn’t do anything
In general they are pretty particular about taking the money but NOT ACCOMODATING
TRY some other reasonable vendor
There’s a bunch of vendors that go around Lake Michigan
There’s nothing special here
LOOK ELSEWHERE

Trip was great, well organized, fireworks were outstanding, drone show was really wonderful. Tall ship Windy was a pleasure, I would do it again.
One downer, the "emcee" with the microphone overdid it, much too longwinded. (No pun intended).
Had a great time......

I live in Chicago and played tourist with my friends who were visiting. What a wonderful experience. The crew is so friendly. The ship parks in front of the fireworks boat so you get a front row seat to view the City skyline and fireworks. Well worth it!

Wonderful experience! Great how crew involve guests in raising the sails. Viewing fireworks from the water was amaz They should not let regular ticket holders board before VIP ticket holders; wasted our $ and had to sit on very narrow ledge

Well managed and entertaining event. The ship is very clean and there is plenty of casual seating. For those concerned about motion sickness, there is very little movement of the boat. The fireworks were great and beautiful.
