SailTime Chicago Celebrates 20 Years of Sailing in the Windy City
Chicago, IL – [Date] – SailTime Chicago, a leader in boating experiences in the boat sharing economy proudly marks its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of fostering a dynamic sailing community in the heart of the Windy City. Founded by Bob Remsing and his wife Maureen, SailTime Chicago has transformed the way residents and visitors experience sailing on Lake Michigan.
In 2004, Bob and Maureen Remsing embarked on a journey to expand their social circle and create a family-friendly venture. With a vision for personal growth and community engagement, they opened SailTime Chicago, which has since grown into a flourishing hub for sailors. Ryan Remsing joined his parents in this venture, and together they cultivated a successful partnership that has continually evolved to meet the needs of their members.
Sadly, Maureen passed away in 2023. Bob reflected “She was and shall remain the heart and soul of our family business”.
As one of the longest operating SailTime franchises, SailTime Chicago offers a diverse fleet of high-quality boats, all equipped with modern amenities, and is committed to maintaining its vessels in top condition. Members enjoy exceptional value, with Ryan and his staff providing personal support year-round, ensuring that every sailor feels confident and valued.
“What excites me most about operating SailTime Chicago is the opportunity to connect with our community,” said Bob. “We’re proud to provide a premium sailing experience on new model yachts, with outstanding customer service.”
Ryan emphasized the dynamic nature of the business, saying, “There’s never a dull moment—each day brings something new. Our community truly loves sailing, and we have countless success stories of members who have transformed their lives through our programs.”
“Chicago is an unparalleled sailing destination,” Ryan added. “With its stunning skyline, protected anchorages, and lively events like the Navy Pier fireworks, and the Air and Water Show, our members experience the best of the city while out on the water.”
In addition to its top notch fleet, SailTime Chicago has become one of the largest American Sailing Association (ASA) schools in the region, offering a comprehensive range of courses for all skill levels. The hands-on training is designed to foster confidence and competence in new sailors, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience on the water for those new to boating as well as for seasoned sailors and boaters.
As the company looks to the future, Bob and Ryan plan to expand their fleet and continue enhancing their sailing school. “We’re excited to continue our growth by adding new boats and instructors, ensuring that our members receive the best sailing education and experiences possible,” said Bob.
SailTime Chicago’s success is evident not only in its growth but also in the camaraderie of the sailing community it has built. Four of its former members have gone on to establish their own SailTime franchises, a testament to the passion and enjoyment for sailing that the Remsing family has cultivated over the years.
