For local boating businesses
Advertise on Boating Chicago
Readers come here to plan boating across Chicago, southern Lake Michigan, nearby Wisconsin and Indiana boating destinations, and selected lakes within roughly 100 miles of Chicago.. Paid placements are labeled Sponsored or Featured Partner. They do not change editorial harbor notes or weather guidance.
Who this is for
Marinas, storage yards, boat dealers, charter operators, sailing schools, and marine service shops that already serve boaters in this coverage area. We do not manually match customers to captains. A placement sends an interested reader to your site or booking page.
Placement ideas

Featured dealer
A local dealer introduction on boat-ownership planning pages once we have a real partner agreement.
Featured charter or sailing school
Clearly marked sponsored placement next to experience or lesson guides. Bookable GetYourGuide and Viator cards stay separate.
