Red Witch also offers magnificent private charters. The suggested length of our sailboat charter is two hours. As we’re a sailboat, we usually sail where the wind and waves take us, and try to see some sights along the way. Red Witch sails afternoons through late evening, but is available for earlier or longer charters by request. We will do our best to meet your cruise needs, and make your yacht charter fun and memorable, as we’d love to see you again and again!

Red Witch is a great Chicago summer designation for Youth Groups, Church Outings, Team Building,  Home School Outings, Summer Camp Activities, Chicago Tours, McCormick Place Events, Chicago Bears Tailgating and just getting out for a private cruise!

Our boat is located in Burnham Harbor, Behind Soldier Field at 599 East Waldron Drive. We will meet you at the gate to J Dock. Please Note: We are not located at Navy Pier!

Red Witch was voted “Best Tour and Charter Boat” in 2009, and nominated 2010 and 2012. She is Chicago’s ONLY wooden tall ship — a genuine, historically-accurate working John Alden schooner on the Great Lakes. Reserve your 2014 charter now!
