"The charter arranged with the Free Spirit was all and more than expected, generous and delicious foods, bar arrangement not skimped upon and the staff was very personable and helpful. All in all our clients had a ball (so did I)!"

- Jacques Blaauw at J Events, Ltd.

“We had a fabulous time! The experience was totally turnkey - we just had to show up.  The boat is really well suited for entertaining clients - intimate & comfortable, yet spacious. The food & hospitality was perfecto! We’ll definitely come back!!” 

- CR, Google

“My wife & I are avid Air Show fans & attend at least 15 shows per year throughout the country. Thanks to you & your Team’s outstanding hospitality, the Chicago Air & Water Show is now our favorite! The food was delicious, the staff was both courteous & attentive & Captain Joe expertly piloted the Free Spirit to some memorable vantage points!

In today’s climate of declining value & vanishing customer service, we were pleasantly surprised when our Free Spirit experience exceeded our expectations in value & service. We plan to take advantage of this Chicago Gem in the very near future.”

-  Jim & Cheryl Tepper

“Free Spirit Yacht Cruises has become an event that our whole team looks forward to every summer. It’s a fantastic outing for a medium-sized group (to) get together and enjoy the best views in Chicago. It’s a great team-building event that everyone enjoys and is far more memorable than just another dinner at a restaurant.

Captain Joe and his crew have always been flexible in helping to plan just the kind of outing we need. If you are looking for a fun and relaxing event, it doesn’t get any better than this!”

- Peggy Bueschel, Draft FCB

“I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful evening we’ve spent on [the] Gypsy Spirit. Everything was really great and the service was outstanding. All of my guests really enjoyed the cruise and congratulated us on the choice of the boat! I’ll definitely recommend you to my friends! Thank you again!

- Patrycja & Hristo

“Thank you so much for the fabulous cruise on Friday. Everyone had a wonderful time. The food was great, and everyone was so complimentary of the crew. Thank you again. Our priest said this will be an annual event. There were people on the cruise who have lived in Chicago their entire lives and never did anything like this. It was absolutely the best!!!”

- MaryEllen Harber

“Most of the people here had never been out on the lake-so they were amazed at how cool the city is from the lake. The crew was great-thanks for the service!! Hopefully, we’ll make this our annual company outing (I’m all for it naturally). My best to the crew.”
