Transfers
Current Chicago Harbors customers are able to apply to transfer to another mooring in the Chicago Harbors system. Transfer requests are processed in the order they are received pending availability.
Transfer requests are processed before we assign new applicants which is why we highly recommend that if your perfect mooring isn’t available as a new applicant, you take any mooring option first so you can be eligible for a prioritized transfer request.
Need to fix information on your application? No problem.
Account Changes? No Problem
New boat? New address? Just changed your boat name? No problem, we’re happy to help update your account. Please click below and submit a change request.
If you have any questions or concerns at the Chicago Harbors please reach out to our team so we can assist you further. Many questions can be answered directly by your harbor manager who will be able to provide you with personalized service unique to your harbor. You can find their contact information by viewing the all harbors page and searching for your individual harbor.
