Location, location, location, as they say. You are certainly paying a premium (by Lake Michigan standards) to have a slip with the amazing backdrop of downtown Chicago, but we found it worth every penny. We enjoyed the 360-degree views from Navy Pier, to the Riverfront, to Monroe Harbor to the constant activity just offshore. The reasons for missing a 5-star rating were the usual unfortunately: lousy WiFi and so-so bathrooms (c'mon DuSable, for these prices, give us decent TP for Pete's sake!). Aside from that, this is an amazing location with easy bike access to everything.

The great: The city skyline, glitzy megayachts, and beautiful waterfront bike paths make Burnham a spectacular place to stay! The good: The marina itself is in good shape with synthetic decking and reliable power pedestals (some even have integrated pumpouts). The not-so-good: The marina store is barely a store (chips, ice and soda: yes. Tylenol and TP: no) and the bathroom facilities/cleanliness are a B- at best. And for the premium city prices, there should be good, reliable Wi-Fi. It was so unreliable that we often had to use our hotspot. Overall though, this is a terrific place to enjoy the big city vibe while still getting some peace in the evenings.

This is a beautiful marina in a stunning and unique little town. The staff is well-trained, professional and very helpful. The docks, facilities and amenities are all in excellent condition.

We started with four nights at the GH Municipal Marina right next door. But oh what a difference the move to GHYC made! Unlike the muni, GHYC was quiet, secluded from the large crowds and loud concert noise, and protected from the very rough Grand Haven River. The permanent owners at this dockominium marina were all friendly and Bill, the dockmaster, was amazingly helpful in getting us squared away. The town of Grand Haven is one of our favorites and GHYC is now a big part of that. We'll be back! -M&C
