Testimonials

Sirak & Gelila from New Orleans

It was a very relaxing, one of a kind sailing experience. The boat is so beautiful, well kept and very clean and the whole arrangement was spectacular including their music selection. We will go back again to unwind and relax from time to time and we will highly recommend their service to our Nola peeps and out of town guests. Thank you for the wonderful experience and outstanding service. Looking forward already for the next round.

Keith from New York City

If we could give them more stars, we would. Every aspect of the sail was top notch. Service was awesome, Captain Doug and Rena are great hosts and cruising the lake is a beautiful way to see New Orleans. Just a fantastic experience.

Wendy & John from Chicago

Everything was so nice! Bradley was awesome & the boat was amazing! Definitely recommend going out for a sunset cruise. I took my whole family for my husbands birthday & we loved it

March, 2024

We celebrated my daughter's 11th birthday aboard Matt's vessel. She and 8 of her friends had the best time aboard with our awesome Captain and first mate. My wife and I had a great time watcching them dance and and sing to lookers on. Can't wait to do it again, next time just grown ups!

April, 2024

The working of the sails to listening to the captain about how the sailboat works was very interesting , enjoyed the whole experience on such a beautiful sail boat

This is a very nice large boat which is very comfortable on the water. Look forward to sailing again with Captain Jim in a few weeks.

Bradley was excellent, couldn't ask for a better day on the water.

October, 2023

Smooth sailing on a sunny afternoon; nothing but a balloon sail to cast you away along the beautiful Lake Pontchatrain coast way! Captain Jim provides a wonderful staycation that can’t be beat right here on the Northshore. His sailboat is a great way to go. Sailing on the lake at sunset in the moonlight is great for a fun relaxing afternoon.

Castaways Hasn’t Been Forgotten as the North Avenue Beach’s Icon Preps to Reopen

The Stefani Group’s boat-shaped bar and restaurant closed last season for a $3 million renovation

Share All sharing options for: Castaways Hasn’t Been Forgotten as the North Avenue Beach’s Icon Preps to Reopen

Chicago’s famed boat-shaped restaurant and bar on North Avenue Beach will reopen on Memorial Day Weekend for the first time since 2022. Castaways Beach Club , an unmistakable symbol of summer along Lake Michigan, is returning after a $3 million renovation and new menu items.

After spending last summer in stasis , the beachside staple (formerly called Castaways Bar & Grill ) is poised to unveil its freshly revamped two-floor, 22,000-square-foot space with dining decks, bar sections, patio areas, and cabanas with bottle service available for rental and private events, according to a rep.

Castaways 2.0 will aim for a more polished approach than its previous sandy sports bar vibe. Workers have replaced its distressed paint with a more contemporary ocean blue and cream color scheme to evoke the breezy style of beach clubs in Miami or the Mediterranean, Stefani Restaurant Group managing partner Anthony Stefani tells the Sun-Times .

Castaways has added a tented structure on the north end of the venue that on weekends will become a 21-and-older section aptly dubbed the North End Club that will also host live music and DJ sets. To capitalize on the location’s sweeping views of the Chicago skyline, the team has installed a new bar section for happy hours and corporate events on the south end of the second floor.

The family-friendly upstairs restaurant also saw upgrades like new tile, paint, and furniture, and will reopen with a new, as-yet-unreleased food menu of “global beach fare” and cocktails for lunch and dinner, per a rep. Downstairs, two walk-up concession windows will channel sticky summer nostalgia. One will sling street food favorites like burgers, tacos, and wraps; the other, run by local mini-chain JoJo’s Shake Bar, will sell ice cream, according to Crain’s .

Castaways hasn’t missed many summers in its more than two-decade-long tenure under Stefani Restaurant Group, which contracts the space from the Chicago Park District. The group, founded by prolific Chicago restaurateur (and Anthony Stefani’s father) Phil Stefani, operates 10 Chicago area restaurants including Bar Cargo pizzeria in River North, Tuscany Taylor in Little Italy, and Stefani Prime steakhouse in Lincolnwood. Phil Stefani is due for a busy season, as he’s also on the cusp of relaunching downtown stalwart Tavern on Rush around the corner from its original home in Gold Coast.

Castaways Beach Club , 1603 Lake Shore Drive, Scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend (Friday, May 24 through Monday, May 27).
