Winthrop Harbor Yacht Club - Winthrop Harbor, Illinois

David Kiesler

Let me preface this review by saying this is my first ever Google Review, which means I was really compelled by the awesome staff at the Marina's front desk ("Marina Check In" -- 😆) to pen this tome. It was sweltering here in the Harbor this morning and I wasn't sure if the nice pool here at North Point Marina was part of the Yacht Club, or open to the public for a fee. That sweetheart Rachael -- with all deliberate speed -- quickly answered my first question....and that was....that I was free to pay $15 her and enter. But toddlers 2 and under were free, she said....And here I sit on this deck chair beach char that looks completely ecologically friendly as it appears to be made of injection molded recycled plastic 👍

Seriously, Rachael and the whole crew of the at least 4 office workers in the front desk area were all super friendly and very knowledgeable about the Marina and it's environs...and that even includes Johnathon, who was also very helpful, despite the fact that his favorite bird is the R ed B reasted F inch 😆 🤣

Now, no review could possibly be complete without at least a brief mention of my hoody purchase! Yes...there is a lovely selection of Hoodies on the table just to the right of the front desk...and I just loved the hoody that reads "Lake Michigan-- Unsalted." So when I could not locate my size, Rachael told me she thought she had some "Mediums" in the back 😂 😅 😆 ....actually....Rachael strongly advised to "go bigger" for the sweaty clothes...and I took her advice...much for the better. Darn good thing she found me two 2X's in the back 😆 🤣.

And...a special shout out goes to Ashley...who tracked me down walking my bicycle over to the pool...and gave me my neatly packaged hoodies.

Thanks to the whole front office staff at the Marina!! They were all fantastic and I would highly recommend a trip to the Marina...or walking on the numerous paths here...and especially lunch, dinner or cocktails at the restaurant here at the Marina, The Tropics

Plenty of free public parking, great walking and biking trails, picnic tables and grills, pavilions and bathrooms. Great place right on the lake for picnic and beach time. Very empty the day we were there, beautiful place highly recommended.

Great launch, cleaning station is clean and nicely located. I wish patrons would read the signs and not park in fish cleaning parking area.

Friendly and helpful staff, lots to look at and if the weather is nice, a great walk around the harbor. Went on a day they had a food truck catering...awesome food and atmosphere
