Full moon rises, (and nearly full moon rises) can be spectacular in Chicago since
there is 90 miles of lake on the horizon where the moon comes up. Each Full moon
rise is different depending on the time the sun sets, and how clear the horizon
is, but our chart at the bottom of the page tells you every day which has the right combinations of
full moon, moonrise and sunset times. |

It comes up out of the lake like the sun in
the morning, and changes through a large range of oranges and yellows until it finally
becomes bright white high in the sky. The sky needs to be at least partly clear to see
this well, but even when it is a little cloudy we still really enjoy the moonrises.

It is difficult for pictures taken from a boat to capture
the rising due to the movement of the boat, but the below pictures give you a notion
of what a Chicago Full Moon rising sail with Chicago Sailboat Charters is like.
Remaining Aug and Sep dates will be updated soon.
All of the dates below are good dates to view this. 100% illumintaed indicates that
it is technically the full moon on that day. We suggest that you schedule your sail to depart at least 15 minutes
before moonrise, and return no earlier than
45 minutes after moonrise.
