I don't know if the capacity is always like this, but the marina appeared to have plenty of unallocated spaces, which is great for those looking for a spot. I also like that there was a bathroom on site (though it was locked when we went on Saturday at 7:00am) and plenty of parking for those who don't have a boat here. The spot on the river gave ample access to some great fishing locations where we were able to see many varieties of fish. Though I don't own a boat, I want one now and would love to keep it here.

A huge thank you to Connor and especially the detail crew for all the hard work they put into making my boat look this good.

A follow-up to my earlier experience with The Boat House Chicago (Bald Knob Rd, Johnsburg). After…read moremany failed attempts, they have finally gotten the motor to run -- but the boat will only move forward. It won't go in reverse, which means it still isn't usable. When I called back about this, I was told that their job was only to make the motor run, not to make the boat drive. That response says everything about the service department here. A boat that can't go in reverse can't be launched, docked, or operated safely, and being told that isn't their concern is unacceptable. My dealings with the service department, and with Tanner in particular, have been consistently frustrating. I've been more than patient through repeated failed repairs, and I still don't have a working boat. I would strongly caution anyone before relying on this service department.

We bought a brand new 22ft Bennington Pontoon from Munson at the Chicago Boat show this January…read more The process could not have been easier. We looked all over the show but came back to Munson to buy. We got exactly what we wanted. Peter Biasco was awesome walking us through the process, options, etc. we was patient with all our questions. When the boat came in during March we went out to meet Adam and get all the final papers signed. They were all ready and we were in and out quickly, were able to see the boat, and set up delivery. We have a lake house on Lake Holiday (Sandwich, IL) so it is nearly a 2 hour drive from Munson to deliver it but Captain Bill brought it out, launched it, showed us all the ins and outs, and helped us figure out the best way to get it tied to our dock. He was great with us, and showed us everything we need to know about the new boat. Captain Bill spend a couple hours with us going around the lake, making sure everything worked and we were ready to take it on our own. I could not be happier with the process, service, and thoroughness of the team and we look forward to this summer and many more with the boat!

I went to Munson ski and was very grateful to have met Jenny, she helped me find a chaparral. She…read morewas really knowledgeable and sweet. She understands that this is a big purchase and made sure that I understood what I was getting into and what all my options were. I was on the fence on different models and brands and she helped me with a side by side comparison so I picked the right one with options that I need. It was a big purchase for me so she wasn't pushy, on the other hand she also welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable since I have had trouble in the past with sales people not wanting to approach me since I don't have the appearance of being rich. She didn't hesitate to greet me and help me out. Later after we made sure that we had the right make and model she introduced me to one of the owners Matt. We sat down and he dialed me in with the price. It was like a no haggle thing since I was shopping and knew what this should cost and he was below anyone else. He was very very helpful and was a pleasure to do business with. This is a family business and they treated me like family. Not only do I recommend Munson to strangers on the internet but would recommend them to my friends and family. All of their boats and products are top notch and they been in the business for like over 60years (I think). So that tells you something right there they would not be around for so long if they didn't know what they were doing and doing things right.

It is located directly across from the riverwalk to give you a wonderful downtown experience to enjoy your boat while listening to music and experiencing the McHenry vibe.

"We will have the service manager call you back". never got a call back for 5 weeks. Finally was told we are working on your boat as we speak. 3 days later called again, same line. I decided to go see for myself. The boat had not been touched at all. In fact it sat for so long a bird was on the process of building a nest on the ladder on the swim platform. Sam the manager is a bold faced LIAR. They are a disgrace to legitimate businesses in that area. So I hauled the boat out and took it to Thirsty Turtle Marina. 2 days later the boat was done and very expertly at that. NEVER NEVER GO TO D'S MARINA of Mchenry. Wasted 5 weeks of the very short boating season, Sam the service manager must have pictures of the owner for him to keep this boob on payroll.

What really stands out is how much attention they pay to the details. They went above and beyond to identify additional items on my boat that had been overlooked by others, which gave me a tremendous amount of confidence knowing that everything was being properly looked over. Their communication and service have been exceptional, and they completed the work even faster than I anticipated. Most importantly, I feel completely comfortable leaving my boat with them because I know it is in good hands and that they genuinely care about doing the job right. It's rare to find a marina that combines this level of expertise, attention to detail, responsiveness, and customer service. I'm extremely impressed with Ben Watts Marina and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a marina they can truly trust.

The beverage manager assured me that they do offer a selection of crafted mocktails - so I was expecting a menu or at least the bartender having some knowledge.

So when he was pointing to the different juices I didn't even know what to ask for. He only suggested a Shirley Temple. So all in all, I was stuck drinking a Sprite and didn't feel to fit in.
