New Navy Pier transient dock for Chicago boaters

[PANDA]

They have been talking about this for like 10 years and this is what they come up with? Really 200ft of dock space? Cool we can park 4 boats. :rollpicard: Would be really cool to have a small harbor at Navy Pier as Chicago boaters really have no options for dining or even docking close to downtown. I just hope this has some gates or security. I see people park along the wall in Monroe harbor and degenerates jumping on peoples boats to take selfies.

panda you're rockin' a 50 now? ?!

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

well you figure the dumbass at the front will have a good 15' of usable pier ahead of him, 10' space between boats.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

someone will probably be managing the space though.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i forgot a s000ls face

panda you're rockin' a 50 now? ?!

no but with 200ft of space they can probably only fit 4 average sized boats.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

So basically, the image already shows you the outcome.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

yup. they could build a few finger piers out from there and make a ton more room. smaller slips piled next to each other and then one long space at the front of those for huge stuff docking

I wonder how much they'll charge to dock there?

 

[Yaj Yak]

i got to pull wakeboarders through there once, that was awesome.

 

[PANDA]

I wonder how much they'll charge to dock there?

when they say Transient Dock I am not sure if it is a overnight or park per use by the hour thing.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

looks like they have a little hut for a pimple faced kid to hang out and corral boats all summer

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

and I guarantee there's a cash register in there to charge you to tie up as well. it's navy pier.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

it's a nice touch and go spot to pick people up too. not a horrible hassle to get in that area and even the blondest of blondes can figure out how to get to navy pier

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

You'll be able to pull up and pay for dockage on the Dockwa app! Weekend rates start at $50 for 3 hours for boats 39' and under.

.

 

[RICH17]

Not horrible. Wonder if they'll bitch for just picking up and dropping off

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

$50 isn't bad at all if you have a literal boatload of people. plenty of time to go have a few drinks and dinner.
