Three generations of the Larsen Family have dedicated themselves to building this remarkable marina. Our customer-first mentality has driven us since the start.

We are located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, in the hub of a thriving local boating community, with no locks or bridges to navigate.

Completely free of charge, we provide a courtesy shuttle that runs from our facility to Waukegan Harbor and the nearby Metra train station.

Our Services

Boat Slips

Our protected, deep draft harbor is conveniently located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee. With the variety of on-site services we offer, we would be a great choice for any boater.

Boat Storage

Store your boat with us any season. Offering both indoor and outdoor storage, we give you the freedom to pick your own haul out and launch dates, and have a longer boating season than most local alternatives.

Boat Service

Our team is highly adept in handling almost any type of repair, including mechanical, electrical, fiberglass, painting, rigging, and more. We also have a mobile service fleet that is capable of off-site repairs.

Ship Store

We stock extensive selection of marine engine parts, hardware, repair kits, marine grade wire, and a huge variety of stainless fasteners. We also have a complete stock of marine accessories fit for any boater.

Customer Reviews

I needed a standing rigging inspection with a known replacement of the 2 lower shrouds. Ian Gates in the rigging department provided excellent support and the job was done very quickly. So helpful because Leela is a women's sailing club boat and she needed to get to work asap! Thanks Larsen team, keep up the great work!

I made a lot repairs last winter. I am very pleased with service team's skill, care and helpful advice. They have assisted me in obtaining hard to find parts, shipping and coordinating installation flawlessly.

They have the tools and expertise to handle whatever job I need done. If you have a sailboat on Lake Michigan, it's your best bet for storage and service.

Customer Reviews

I have been storing my boat at Larsen for three years now and to be honest had apprehensions when they got acquired by TopSide. This spring I was proven wrong. The service level and the work ethic of almost everyone I had interacted with was very friendly and professional. Despite the heavy workload, they were able to launch my boat on time.

Kudos to the staff. I hope they all get the proper recognition they deserve by management.

Customer Reviews

Larsen Marine installed all new Raymarine electronics on our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40.3 four years ago. I have nothing but raves about the equipment and the service provided. The Axiom system is super intuitive and has been 100% reliable. All the instruments are integrated, making everything so simple to use. I would HIGHLY recommend both these electronics and the team at Larsen for their great work.
