After months of reconstruction and restoration of its 40,000-square-foot storage barn and 9,000-square-foot office, the location is ready to welcome clients back for yacht club memberships, all-encompassing sales, service and storage offerings.

We are excited to welcome the community back into our Waukegan location as we look ahead to 2023.”
