Large urban marina with extensive modern dock structures and prominent white buildings along the waterfront, but no visible parking lots or vehicles.
Chicago’s only all-transient marina at iconic Navy Pier offering world-class amenities, service, dining, shopping, and entertainment to Lake Michigan’s boating community.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
