Located in the heart of Lincoln Park, Belmont Harbor is one of Chicago’s largest and most vibrant harbors—perfectly positioned for both city access and scenic lakefront cruising. Members enjoy sweeping views of the skyline, acres of green space, and quick access to downtown. This lively spot offers more than just boating. Stroll or bike the Lakeshore Trail, relax at the nearby dog beach, or enjoy a lakeside picnic after a day on the water. With amenities like member parking, boater bathrooms, fishing docks, and tennis courts, Belmont Harbor delivers the full Chicago summer experience—on and off the boat.
We make the boating life fun and easy! Owning a boat is a lot of work and costs add up quickly. At Carefree Boat Club, you get all the benefits of boating without the hassle. Our affordable membership options connect you with the boats you want and get you out on the water with family and friends sightseeing, swimming, wakeboarding, fishing, and more while we handle the logistics and maintenance.
