Compliment's to the gas dock. Last Saturday, 06/07/25 I brought the boat in for the season. I…read morepulled up to the gas dock to top off the tanks and do a quick pump out. As I approached the dock several young women spilled out of the office ready to help grab lines and help tie off the boat. They handled it effortlessly despite the size and weight of the boat. They offered to pump fuel and handle the pump out which I would never expect anyone to do. Before I had time to get involved they were handling it like a NASCAR Pit Crew! Upon departure my bow line was tied to the rail and I was given shove off the dock to assist in the departure. These young women were very skilled, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Their actions and pleasant demeanor were very professional and appreciated. In addition, the women in the office were very friendly and quick to check me in. I can tell you that after 20 some years in Chicago I've never experienced this type of friendly service. The dock workers in the golf cart even waved to say hello and see if I needed anything. Thanks to all of you at Hammond Marina! You should ALL be Proud! YOU are ALL APPRECIATED. GEORGE

Jamie is so nice that she sat on the phone and personally gave me directions to the Marina when roads were closed! Jen is so nice that she actually listened to my needs in order to make the best recommendation about where I should dock my boat! Lori does an amazing job with the Ship Store! The bathrooms are immaculate! The Locker Rooms are also immaculate! Each and every one of my needs has been filled by this wonderful group of people! Five Stars are not enough!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I can tell you that the people at sunset bay have several commercial customers who rely on their equipment working properly and I've never heard anything crazy come out the people that work there. I've been with them a little over 2 years now and wouldn't consider any other place in the area for reasonably priced services from competent people. I've worked with marinas all along Florida, the Caribbean, and up/down the East Coast so I've seen plenty of what's out there. The only other place I'd trust to do the job right is Bock marine out of North Carolina.

As a result of the incompetence, there has been damage done to our boat as well as false information provided from our queries, i.e., we were advised that our transmission was removed and sent out for repair, when in fact, two MONTHS later it was still sitting in the boat.
