Great location, and great communication leading up to our transient rental.

by Julia S. - Verified user on Sep 19, 2024
We had a terrific stay at Belmont Harbor. Christine and her staff were extremely helpful. The advance communication emails through Docwa with slip assignment, gate codes, bathrooms codes, wifi access was terrific. Each dock had it own access code and the police made frequent patrols down Recreation Drive. This is one of the best marinas we have stayed at on our Great Loop trip.

First time staying at Belmont and I can guarantee we'll be back. Nice clean marina and close to many places to visit. Staff was friendly and helpful when questions arose. Walking distance to Wrigley!

F Dock Bathrooms were cleaner than on past visits. There is a lack of space to hang and place belongings when using the showers. The Marina should add clothes hooks to the back of each door and mount a shelf over the air dryer or light switch for users to place personal items while showering.
Marina Response:
HI James, thank you for staying with us. If you were at F dock bathrooms, we try very hard to keep them clean. If you happened to go to the public bathrooms, because you were close to B dock, those do get a lot of use. Anyway, thank you very much for staying with us. Happy sailing!

For many years we have spent Thursday Thru Sunday at Belmont, prior to that with a smaller boat Diversey Harbor for the Air & Water Show weekend. It is a fantastic place to be with the City in the background. The amenity's are good, nice to have a fuel dock with Ice and free pump out. Will be back next year. Christine is a real pro- Thank You.

Well protected Harbor, clean and being on the south side, easy access (the north side is not so great on weekends or holidays) also convenient to Chicago Yacht Club

Other than the the ridiculous over priced daily fee ( $247.18 ) for two nights it was great. You should warn patrons about the goose poop on the docks and the Chicago parking fees at the harbor.

Great location. We can’t say enough about how awesome the staff are! Friendly, responsive, and extremely helpful.

by Peter S. - Verified user on Oct 12, 2023
Great location close to so many things to do and places to eat. Super responsive staff. No shady characters around or outside the gates. Only negative is it’s a huge marina and you have to walk around it to go downtown, and that can take 10-15 minutes.

Great harbor. Harbor staff- Christine (hope I have her name correct) was amazing.

by Thomas H. - Verified user on Aug 14, 2023
Dock on B section was so covered in duck poo that we couldn’t walk it, had to pull close and jump on from the nose- which is not safe, and too scary for some

by Sean P. - Verified user on Aug 14, 2023
Ok. Could be cleaner

by Patrick C. - Verified user on Jul 31, 2023

by Brian H. - Verified user on Jul 26, 2023
Much better than a year ago. Better staff. Clean and calm. I’ll be back.

The restrooms were not very clean and a long walk from our assigned slip. We were actually on a end tie that was ok but at the far north end of the marina.
