Report Review
We just completed a circle boat tour of Lake Michigan, staying in 13 marinas, with Chicago Montrose being the last. The average overnight fee was about $69, yet Montrose was $165. The other marinas had beautiful facilities, including spotless bathroom/showers, supply stores, pools, help with docking, and nice boater lounges. Montrose had none of these, just a goose-poop-covered docking space about a 3 block walk from the dirty bathroom/showers. I love Chicago, but it continues to be by far the worst port on Lake Michigan to visit, along with being by far the most expensive. Not boater friendly in the least.
