Hello!

If you are unfamiliar, a "Boatel" is basically when someone rents out their boat for use as living quarters for a week or so instead of having to stay in a hotel. You aren't allowed to take it from the slip, just use it as a place to sleep/stay while in town.

I've found one called "Pier Gold" that is in Burnam Park Harbor but I am sure they are more.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

sigmasix

In this town this is going to be limited as people take boats off the lake in winter due to freezing.

That's actually a really good idea! I would rent a boat for a week as a change of pace when visiting Chi.

Wow, that's a great idea. I live in Chicago and would love to rent one for a week/weekend. My cousin has a 29' at Montrose Harbor that's always made me want to have my own.
