Chicago Yacht Works

Chicago Yacht Works (CYW) is your one-stop shop for all things boating – now with two convenient locations! Whether you are a new or experienced boater, our team works hard year-round to ensure you get the most out of your time on the water.

We offer indoor and outdoor storage, certified service technicians to maintain and repair your vessel, and a fully accredited boating school – the Chicago Yacht Academy – where you can earn certifications and improve your skills on the water.

Buying or selling a boat? No problem. As one of the Midwest’s largest brokers and home to the Formula Factory Showroom, CYW has a wide selection of new and pre-owned boats to choose from. If you’re ready to sell, we can easily list your vessel and connect you with qualified buyers.

Our services go far beyond storage and sales. With full mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic repair capabilities, we can keep your boat in peak condition. From detailing and bottom painting to fiberglass repair and electronics installation, our certified technicians have you covered.

We also provide dockage and fueling at our Calumet River facility, making it simple to launch, store, and service your boat all in one place. With indoor heated storage, outdoor options, and one of the largest travel lifts in the area, we can accommodate boats of nearly every size.

At CYW, boating is more than a business – it’s a lifestyle. Our team is passionate about helping families, weekend boaters, and seasoned captains alike enjoy safe, fun, and memorable experiences on the water.
