Greetings, Marina Enthusiasts,

We are pleased to report that construction of Navy Pier Marina has commenced and will proceed throughout the winter. The current schedule projects substantial completion by the end of April 2025. We expect to open soon after.

Concurrent with this milestone, we are building our reservation system for transient, short-term stays and expect to open reservations for the 2025 season after the new year.

If you are a commercial seasonal user, such as a charter, cruise ship, broker, dealer, or boat club, please fill out the form found on our homepage so we can process your request. We can accommodate vessels up to 183’.

I am honored that Mark Stevens, U.S. Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer (retired) and marina operations professional, has joined our team as General Manager. You will see updates from Mark in the coming months. When we are ready to hire, he will post an application link on our webpage.

We are very excited to see you on the docks next season!

I am very excited to share that we have entered into an agreement with the City of Chicago, allowing the long-awaited Navy Pier Marina to be built. We will work hard to construct the transient marina in the coming year, and we anticipate opening by early summer 2025.

We will welcome boaters from Chicago, the Great Lakes, Great Loopers, and boating groups and clubs looking for modern mooring facilities in the heart of Chicago!
Please help us spread the news within the boating community. A description of the marina and its amenities, as well as updates about ongoing construction, the opening date, and how to make reservations, will be posted on our website: www.navypiermarina.com.

We thank Mayor Johnson’s administration for its cooperation and foresight in seeing the many benefits that Navy Pier Marina will bring to Navy Pier, the City of Chicago, and its citizens. We also thank Navy Pier Inc. for its continued collaboration and support for the project.

We will keep you updated as things develop.
Randy

As most of you may know, we have been trying to get Navy Pier Marina built in Chicago. The project started in 2015 and received full City Council approval in 2016. From there, all permits were issued by the US Army Corp and IDNR (plus many other agencies). Then the water purification plant nearby decided they were not in favor of the marina at Navy Pier, and wrongly encouraged CDOT to throw a wrench in the works by not issuing our last ministerial construction permit. It has been a struggle since then, but I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!

In our effort to continue pressing forward with mass support, I created a Change.org petition to raise awareness. #linkinbio

📝 I would be grateful if you could sign up and help me by spreading the word through social and email to anyone you think would be interested.

All #LakeMichiganBoaters should be interested in seeing this recreational transient boat marina come to fruition! 📣

​Now...WHO`S WITH ME?!?
