About Navy Pier Marina
The concept of a marina at Navy Pier was born decades ago by avid boaters. Perfected in 2016 as the preeminent transient marina on the Great Lakes, Navy Pier Marina was envisioned by the project developer Randy Podolsky, a born-and-raised Chicago entrepreneur, avid boater, and proud member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. He conceived this project out of burning desire for a convenient and well-located Chicago boating destination that could offer boaters short-term, transient docking as well as convenient access to dining, lodging, and entertainment. Navy Pier Marina offers it all.
