As a charter business owner with two boats, I;ve had a exceptional first year at Pier 11marina with…read moreMike and Matt. Their pricing was more competitive than other Chciago marinas, making it an wasy choice. They provided seamless access t my boats whenever I needed and got me i nthe water as early as April 1st with my main boat which was crucial for my seson. One of the owners even picked me up at Diversey Harbor and Drove me in so I can have a car when I brought my boat in. I'm especially impressed that they are helping me with an upcoming engine replacement on one of my boats next week, using their equipment to pull the old engine and install the new one. This kind of supposrt is invaluable. I hightly recommen Pier 11 Marina to any boat owners. Jason Palermo Diversey Harbor Boat Rentals

They treat your boat like it belongs to them. It is truly an old-fashioned yard - the best communist community I've ever been part of - by that I mean the people who keep their boats there more or less will follow the precept "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need." I've got the oldest power boat in the city, and with help from the yard itself and many of the people who keep their boats there, I've kept her going for over 25 years now.

This was great find especially since I currently live in the South Loop and my boat summers in…read moreBelmont Harbor. I was initially hesitant only because I am a powerboater and the yard is more sail centric. Any second thoughts quickly vanished. Great people here. Eric, Jackie and the whole crew. I could not ask for a better yard. They were even able to store my boat inside as well. And then there is Jeff's Marine Service. Talk about a rare find. Jeff is a smart cookie. His investigations into my boats issues are thorough. He doesn't just start replacing parts. He develops a theory as to what may be wrong then works to prove his theory...again without replacing a bunch of parts that aren't going to fix the problem. I could not be happier with this operation.

I used to come here a lot on the bike runs with my bf, it's far out so was a decent ride out there…read more Call me crazy but I kinda loved this place, it's nothing special of a bar but in the summer sit out on the deck on the river with a beer or Jack and Coke and good people and that's all you need! They have food too, which is pretty much just good enough to soak up the booze so don't expect a culinary masterpiece, but that's okay too. They hold events here too and bands sometimes, not a bad spot. Specials and great service!

Great boat launch area for kayaks or canoes, as well as historic. This is an area where the…read moreUnderground Railroad used to operate, also near where the first African American owned marina was located. Near Altgeld Gardens, the urban housing project that worked. The Little Calumet has been cleaned up since I used to visit here in the 1970s, in those days it wasn't too uncommon to find murder victims among the litter and refuse. Today it's clean and beautiful, though a little post-industrial. Still, that gives me a post-Apocalyptic nature-is-returning feeling. Underused, which is another plus.

Granted it was my first boat purchase and I could have asked them to check the engine, but I had good faith that they--the nice people selling me my first boat--had already made sure it wasn't a piece of crap. They knew the previous owner, so they knew the (lack of) maintenance that had been done on the boat...but I was the one who found out that the long block rusted through, started to take on water, and slowly destroyed the inside of the engine. During my first summer, I was stranded more than a dozen times and towed to shore. It was scary. 2 years later, after completely overhauling the inside and rebuilding the engine, the boat is back in business. But I had to take it somewhere else to get it there. If you buy from here, ask for work orders. Ask for engine inspections. Ask for everything you can't see with your own eyes.
