Naviganto

SERVING THE NAUTICAL WORLD

Welcome to Naviganto

Naviganto LLC is a sailboat dealership and brokerage based in Chicago, Illinois. Together with our affiliated companies, Broad Reach Sailing and 3rd Coast Cruising, we offer something for everyone in the world of sailing. 

 

We have a deep passion for the Great Lakes and for sailing as both a sport and a recreational activity. We really love talking to and working with anyone who either shares that passion or is interested in exploring the possibilities.

 

Naviganto is the exclusive dealer for Dufour Yachts in the Great Lakes. Dufour is a premium performance cruiser - one of the largest European boat builders with a complete range of family cruisers, performance boats, and passage-makers. The boats range from 32 to 50 feet, and are known throughout the world for their quality workmanship and excellent sailing performance. If you are considering a new boat, you really owe it to yourself to check out Dufour.

 

In addition to the sales and service of new Dufour Yachts, Naviganto is also a full service yacht brokerage. We can sell your boat for you, and always enjoy the opportunity to work as a buyer's agent and help our clients locate and purchase the ideal boat for their individual needs and dreams.

 

For those not ready to make the step to boat ownership, we offer the finest fractional sailing program in the country - Broad Reach Sailing. You share your Dufour Yacht with others, sailing it when you want to but leaving the maintenance and management to Broad Reach. Currently, the Broad Reach is available only in Chicago where it has been going strong for three years.  

 

Training, lessons, and special sailing events are the specialty of our sister company - 3rd Coast Cruising. Classes range from introductory lessons to advanced navigation and overnight lake crossings. Special events such as corporate team building and fireworks cruises are also available.

 

Please let us know how we can share our love of sailing with you.
