Columbia Yacht Club

Going onboard the MV Abegweit has to be one of the most interesting things you can do in Chicago. Something about walking on the decks and peering out on the lake through a pothole window fulfilled my childhood dreams of being on an ocean liner. 🧊⛴

Membership is open to sailors, boaters, or anyone interested in the social aspect of on the water life. Members will take you sailing or choose from a variety of learning opportunities. Great food and drink, friendly, welcoming environment.

A place where you can stroll around and even find designated fishing areas, with fishing permitted inside the pier during certain months. It’s also an ideal spot for a refreshing fitness run or simply to sit back and enjoy the stunning clear blue waters of the lake with family and kids.

Amazing food, drinks, service, atmosphere, and views. They are also making an effort to continuously improve which does not go unnoticed by the members and those who visit. Can't say enough good things about this club. High praise to the staff for making this such an enjoyable part of Chicago.

All I can say is wow. They have done an incredible job of preserving a piece of Prince Edward Island history! They were extremely accommodating, the food was great and the service was friendly.

1. Impressive and would like to visit inside 2. It will be great if non-members can hire the boat

This could be an amazing venue and place. The boat is beautiful and showcases astonishing views to Navy Pier and Chicago’s Skyline. However, the decks are not well maintained. If this is improved, it would be an amazing place.
