Smelly Onion has its origins in 2015 from two visionary founders with a passion for sailing. While their individual journeys and nautical experiences began worlds apart, they’ve drawn inspiration from various sources, cultures and opportunities, including
15 years of racing in the Great Lakes. Having travelled the world extensively, they’ve established contacts, and built upon the collection of stories and expertise they bring to the sport of sailing.
In 2015, they brought together their unique brand of sailing to Chicago and founded Smelly Onion Sailing, to provide clients with a consistent quality experience in sailing classes, charters and bed and breakfast. In 2017, we have made a number of updates and are adding to our amenities to improve our client's sailing experience.
The success of SO is built upon a commitment to promote the experience of sailing, share collective knowledge, and deliver quality service and products.
