The new marina is absolutely beautiful. A great location and even better staff!
This marina is a great place to stay in Chicago. We stayed 3 nights and found the staff and docks 1st class. We were checked on by the staff many times during our stay to see if they could get us anything. The accessibility to restaurants and shops on Navy pier is incredible. We were there on a weekend and had a more than comfortable stay.
The attendants were very friendly, checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Great location to everything the city has to offer. Incredible view of the city.
A Perfect 10 Marina Experience at Navy Pier From the moment we arrived at Navy Pier Marina, it was clear this was a first-class operation. Harbormaster Mark runs an incredibly tight ship—professional, attentive, and always available to assist. Owner Randy Podolsky has created something truly special here, and it shows in every detail. The dock hands were outstanding—friendly, efficient, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The security and safety of the marina are top-notch, giving us complete peace of mind throughout our stay. The entire facility is a perfect 10. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, it’s easily one of the best marinas we’ve ever visited. We were so impressed that we’ve already booked several more stays this season. Being located right at Navy Pier is a huge bonus. The food offerings were fantastic, with plenty of great options for the whole family. And the entertainment for the kids? Absolutely excellent—there’s never a dull moment. Five stars aren’t enough. This marina has set a new standard. Highly recommended!
Still Under Construction... I was counting on several of the amenities listed, but to my disappointment they were not available: NO Bathrooms NO Showers NO Laundry NO Pump-out NO Ice Additionally - I was assigned to dock 8 where there was quite a bit of wake to deal with. The boat at times was violently rocking and uncomfortable. drinks spilling etc. It may have been better to put the smaller boats further east where some of the turbulence from the opening was less of an issue. Access- the angled docks make stern entry difficult. This affects us with mobility issues as well as loading stuff on to the boat. I had planned to spend the night on the boat but was concerned about the sea state at the dock and had to uber home and back instead, adding additional cost to an already expensive mooring that I could not used as planned. The docks seem to be set up for larger boats 50+ but we did what we could to make the best of it... Please communicate what's actually available. This experience was a big disappointment.
Terrific experience, and the staff was next level. Location is very safe and secure with an amazing view day or night of the city with a one minute boat ride to either the playpen or lock into the Chicago river. Can't wait to book again!!!
Great dockhands, great staff, everyone was very helpful and professional. Although the boater's facility and bath house was still under construction we had a very nice stay. The new docks are amazing. The location at Navy Pier is prefect to see the city and convenient to shopping and restaurants.
First class! Facilities are great but what is even better is the staff. Management has hired and trained a staff that not only understands "Customer Service" but excels at it. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, helpful, available, and so much more. Add all that to immediate access to the entire Navy Pier community and you have a definite 5 star marina.
We had a great stay. The marina is in its infancy and is still working on the finishing touches for use at being full service, such as bath house accommodations The staff was very accommodating and friendly! We enjoyed how close everything was and in walking distance.
RANDY PODOLSKY, MARK STEVENS AND THE ENTIRE STAFF WERE VERY ACCCOMODATING & FREINDLY
Great stay @ Navy Pier. Staff was extremely polite and eager to help with docking, securing power cord attachment, and making sure we were satisfied with our stay at the marina. We had a wonderful time.
5 star says it all, very professional
