A reminder from Chicago Boaters on Facebook
"Welcome to the Official Opening of the 2026 Boating Season ⚓️🌊
There’s nothing like this moment…
The harbors are open, the skyline is alive, and Lake Michigan is calling us back.
And as we head out, remember—
Safety and fun can go hand in hand.
1. Be a Better Boater
2. Don’t be a fool, know the rules
3. Don’t be a clown, slow it down
Let’s lead by example from day one:
-Be Safe
-Be Respectful
-Be Responsible
-Be the Example
Because the best days on the water are the ones where everyone gets home safe, smiling, and ready to do it again.
Here’s to a season of great memories, good decisions, and looking out for one another.
Please Be Safe And Be Well.
P.S. If you’re still pacing the dock, refreshing texts, and negotiating with the yard to please just get it in the water… well… 😄
It might be a little late for opening weekend but be patient.
Consider this your friendly reminder for next year:
launch early, enjoy longer.
That’s why we go in the water on April 7th." 😉
