Private Charters on CITY CAT

Spacious, Stable Sailing for up to 49 Passengers

The Experience

Step aboard CITY CAT, the newest member of the Come Sailing family. As Chicago’s only 49-passenger sailing catamaran, she offers a stable and spacious platform for those seeking a premium lakefront experience. The dual-hull design provides a level ride, allowing large groups to move comfortably while taking in 360-degree views of the Chicago skyline.

Vessel Features

• Forward Trampolines: Experience the thrill of being suspended just above the water on our large forward trampolines—the perfect spot for sun-soaking and skyline views.
• Stable Catamaran Design: The dual-hull construction ensures a smooth, level sailing experience without the "leaning" of a traditional sailboat.
• Spacious Open-Air Decks: Ample deck area designed to provide plenty of "elbow room" and panoramic views of the water.
• Onboard Bar Service: A selection of beverages and snacks is available for purchase; please note CITY CAT is not a BYOB vessel.
• Convenient Boarding: Located at Gate B at Navy Pier Marina, right near Light Post #26.
