Chicago’s Boat Industry Leaders
Often referred to as “the cleanest boat yards I have ever seen,” we are Chicago’s premiere boat facility, with 8 buildings on 11 acres of land, and over 300,000 sq.ft. of indoor heated storage – with plenty more outdoor storage space.
Our location at the intersection of Ashland Avenue and the South Branch of the Chicago River offers us over 600 feet of river frontage, making us the most accessible full-service nautical facility in Chicago. And with stem-to-stern service capabilities and a full-line dealership, this is where your boat belongs in the off-season.
