Shortcuts

How many years since we launched our version of Free Spirit Yacht Cruises?

Joe and I launched our version of Free Spirit Yacht Cruises in 2007. It started with a pizza (this is a Chicago story after all). Spinach pizza….all that was left when I ran out to pick one up for a lunch meeting I was having with Joe Donofrio of Free Spirit Yacht Cruises. Little did I know that was the only kind of pizza he didn’t like! I hardly knew him, despite the fact that he’d been trying to get me to come to work with him for a while.

I’d been running my own Chicago-based yacht charter brokerage company, Angela’s Charter Service, for eleven years. And business was good.

Family-owned Business

Joe worked for his parents, Rich and Judy Borrowdale, in their family-owned business, the original Free Spirit Yacht Cruises, founded in 1983. A captain for eighteen years on their two luxury yachts, Joe is an expert navigator who’s at his happiest when he’s on Lake Michigan. Early in the charter season we met for lunch on the Free Spirit, and while Joe wasn’t too thrilled with the pizza, he was with me. And the feeling was mutual. Short story: in November, 2007, we got married on a beach in Florida, and one month later, we bought Free Spirit Yacht Cruises from Joe’s parents who were retiring.
