Amenities -
Windy boasts three spacious decks, a grand salon and a bar for your enjoyment. With plenty of benches and deck boxes, there is plenty of seating available. Our bar is stocked with soda, water, beer, wine, liquor and snacks. Ask us about our bar packages! We feature brands from local distilleries and wineries, and we arrange special requests, just ask us!

Catering
Caterers generally set up buffet-style in the grand salon, adjacent to the galley area, with guests free to move in and out. Seating is informal on the Windy, so “picnic-style” meals work best. All catering vendors must be approved by Windy’s management before they can be hired.

Entertainment
With a storyteller on board, choose from programming options such as Chicago Architecture, Piracy on the Great Lakes and more. Live music is also available or bring your own band on board.

Sound Offerings
Tall Ship Windy has a state of the art sound system, with many amazing abilities! There are 4 speaker zones, so you can choose what you play, and where. Whether it is music or a designated speaker, here are a few examples, CEO or bridal party speaker, or when the vows are taken amplified, so they can be heard clearly, over the entire vessel! Your DJ can connect their equipment with our speakers, with volume controlled in each area, so you can have a quiet area! Live musicians have also connected to our system!
So, as you can see, the sound possibilities offered are bound to fit your needs!
