In order to obtain any type of mooring in the Chicago Harbors, you must complete the mooring permit application and submit it, along with the required deposit of $15.00 per foot of the size of the boat. This deposit will be applied to your first bill. If you choose to cancel your application, you will be reimbursed your total deposit, less an administrative fee of $50.00 (prices subject to change). Make checks payable to “Chicago Park District”. All major credit cards accepted.
Please note that the boat’s title, registration and ownership must be the same as the applicant’s for the mooring permit.
Assignments of new applicants begins after renewals of current permittees are completed and transfers are processed in February and March.
The transfer process should be completed by late March or early April at which time we will begin assigning new applicants to the remaining available moorings in date order.
Though we will not know specific availability until then, we fully expect 35 to 70 foot stalls to be readily available at the new 31st Street Harbor.
