Transient Boater Reservations

Navy Pier Marina – Chicago will start accepting Transient Reservations for the 2026 season on 01/12/2026 at 9:00 AM CT.

Please Note: The marina is contained within Chicago Harbor and is semi-protected from external wave action with a new integrated wave attenuation system at the entrance that mitigates, but does not at all times eliminate all waves created outside the marina from entering the marina, especially during high traffic times during busy days. Night times have been substantially calm and relaxing. Please consider this when booking your stay.
