Chicago, thank you ❤️

For a first-year event, we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome.

To our exhibitors, sponsors, partners, and every person who spent part of their weekend with us at Burnham Harbor, thank you for helping bring the Windy City Boat & Yacht Show to life.

What started as an idea became a waterfront community filled with boats, conversations, new experiences, and unforgettable views.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who made this first chapter possible.

Until next time, Chicago ⚓️ taken in Burnham Harbor, Chicago Il by @windycitybys

Show by day, Chicago River by night. 🌆🌊

Safe to say the @jeffersonbeachyachtsales team knows how to do a weekend on the water. Still reliving an unforgettable weekend in the Windy City.

That’s a wrap Chicago. 🚤

What a weekend! The inaugural Windy City Yacht & Boat Show brought out the boats, the builders, and the people who make this industry what it is.

Here’s something I believe in: we ALL need to support boat shows both the new ones AND the ones that have been around for years. It was a great way to visit Chicago, have meetings, and support our industry’s newest show.

Congratulations to Informa and the Windy City Boat & Yacht Show on an incredible inaugural event. You set the bar high.

Thank you Chicago. It was real. 💃⛵️🚤🛥️⚓️

What a weekend at the first annual Windy City Boat & Yacht Show.

We were proud to showcase the Prestige F4.9, Cranchi Sessantadue 62, Cranchi A46 Luxury Tender, and Sirena 48 throughout an incredible few days on the water at Burnham Harbor. The response from attendees exceeded expectations, making for a successful inaugural event and a promising future for the show.

A sincere thank you to everyone who stopped by, stepped aboard, and spent time with our team. We would also like to recognize our service team, whose hard work behind the scenes ensured each vessel was presented at the highest level throughout the weekend. The enthusiasm from visitors, combined with the efforts of our team, made the first Windy City Boat & Yacht Show a tremendous success.

We look forward to seeing everyone on the water this season.
