Chicago

Get off the Loop and onto Lake Michigan, one of the United States’ largest lakes. Chicago’s fresh water and dramatic skyline make it an amazing place to bond with your team or clients.

Groups ranging in size from 6 to 56 can be accommodated by any of our team building sailing programs. Or an event can be customized to your specific requirements.

In Chicago, the primary platform we use for BoatWorks and RaceWorks is the J22, a very nimble boat which accommodates up to 4 participants and your GEL coach.

For cruising and bonding events, a variety of boats are available. Contact us and we’ll arrange just the right platform for you.

"Merging two large, geographically dispersed organizations offered some unique challenges. Jay and GEL were tremendous."

"Jay and his team put together one of the most effective and enjoyable days of team-building activity that it has ever been my pleasure to participate in (and I've been in far too many)."

"Most of our leadership program participants have never sailed before. Trepidation? Sometimes. Positive feedback? Always."
