Captain Kirk was a fabulous captain - very informative and a great guy to spend the afternoon with. Would highly recommend Salty Dog!

Captain Kirk was excellent! His first mate Woody is the PERFECT pup so friendly and calm for the trip. The boat is gorgeous and all tricked out to sail effortlessly. He gives you a great rundown on what to expect and everything went to plan. There’s no awkward silence or awkward conversation he gave us a good chat about the boat and what not and we still had plenty of time to be a couple. The location was easy to find and offered parking. Everything was very comfortable and price was fair for the amazing time we had. Definitely will be sailing with him again!

Kirk the smartest captain ever! He gave me an efficient yet practical experience handling in-mast furling main and code zero for the first time. We were able to sail at a decent 5.5-6.5kt in breeze on the lake. Don't just sail with him, talk to him, you'll find treasures in this guy.

Kirk and his trusty sidekick, Woody, were the best. Top notch excursion that I would recommend to anyone. Affordable and fair, first time out on Lake Michigan and certainly won’t be the last

We had such an amazing evening with Salty Dog Sailing Co.! Captain Kirk and Woody are so friendly and made our first time on Lake Michigan an experience we will never forget!! We’re so grateful Captain Kirk shared his beautiful sailboat with us - We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!

Amazing Captain Kirk and dog Woody is a hoot!! Highly recommend the best experience ever for family and groups! JTS Naples, Florida

Fireworks sail with Captain Kirk exceeded our expectations !! Unique and special experience on beautiful Lake Michigan. We will book again.

My wife and I had an amazing time sailing with Captain Kirk and Woody. Best charter in the greater Chicago area. If you see any reviews less than a 5 star, they are most likely a scam or jealous competitors

Second time sailing with Salty Dog and can’t recommend enough!

We had an awesome experience with Captain Kirk and Woody! My kind of sailing - very adventurous! Definitely recommend for people that want a more exciting type of sailing charter and would do it again if I’m in town!

Nice and cozy experience, recommended. Capital is very professional and kind. Woody is so calm and well mannered so it all makes trip really fun

Had a great afternoon with Salty Dog Sailing on Lake Michigan in Chicago. The boat was clean and in ship shape, and Captain Kirk provided a sailing adventure we'll always remember. A great way to celebrate a special day with our family.

We had a great time on our sailing cruise with the Salty Dog! Captain Kirk was welcoming, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. We would go again next time we’re in the Chicago area!

10/10 experience. The boat is perfect: there is a great shady seating area near the captain but also a wonderful front of the boat to sit out on with your group. My husband and I sat out there the whole time and it was very comfy. It was amazing to feel like you are just floating by on the water feeling the breeze and seeing the beautiful shore line go by. The railing around the edges gives an added sense of safety. The captain was excellent: clear communication and instructions before hand (regarding parking, safety, etc) and very friendly and informative during the trip. He provided us with a cooler for our beverages, sunscreen, water, etc and made sure our stuff stayed secured and dry. Woody the dog was with us on the boat and its lovely to see how happy he is in his many shady beds and in the air conditioned cabin. I've never been sailing before but after this Im excited to go again!

This past week, we hired Captain Kirk for a sunset sail with our best friends who were in town from Italy. This was our second sail on the Salty Dog and it was amazing! Captain Kirk charted out the perfect route to see the Chicago skyline and beautiful sunset from many vantage points. To enhance our experience even more, he told us that on Wednesday and Saturday nights, fireworks are launched from Navy Pier and would we like to extend our sail? We were so grateful for his suggestion and gladly agreed to more sailing time with him. Thank you Salty Dog! We can’t wait to book our next sail! ⛵️

After moving to Chicago six years ago and never having experienced any sailing, we finally decided to try sailing on the beautiful Lake we see every day from our windows. We found Salty Dog Sailing online with many positive reviews. Scheduling the appointment online is very easy, and the website offers a lot of information including very clear directions to the dock at the marina. Captain Kirk is very welcoming (including his trusty four-legged first mate, Woody) and has years of experience which will put the most nervous of passengers at ease. The boat is lovely and comfortable and the two-hour trip flies by. We would highly recommend this pleasureful and relaxing experience and are looking forward to returning for another sail very soon. Thank you Kirk for a memorable afternoon!

My family & I thoroughly enjoyed learning all about sailing and experiencing the expertise first-hand of Captain Kirk! We had a beautiful Sunday morning excursion and loved every minute of it!

Thank you Captain Kirk & Woody for an incredible sailing experience. Your professionalism, knowledge & safety-first handling of the cruise was second to none. We appreciate how thoughtfully you accommodated us and made our cruise so very thrilling and gratifying. We are looking forward to booking you again.

great sunset cruise experience.

Had a great time sailing with Captain Kirk. Lake Michigan was beautiful and seeing the city from the water was peaceful, even during a protest. Make sure to give Woody lots of pets and love!! He is a sweet boy!
