Boating

Welcome boaters!

Whether you’re boating in and need to dock for the night, or you’re driving in and launching off, Sheboygan’s boating accommodations are some of the best along the Lake Michigan shores. And dare we say, once you’re part of our Spirit on the Lake, you’ll be back again and again. The Sheboygan shores greet boaters with a warm welcome and plenty to see and do. So plan to spend at least a day exploring the Harbor Centre entertainment district and so much more, so close to shore!

Harbor Centre Marina

The Harbor Centre Marina is operated by Skipper Bud’s, and they’re experts at servicing boaters–have been for more than 40 years. The Harbor Centre Marina is home to 281 slips with full service floating docks. It’s got a comfortable boater’s lounge, WiFi access, cable television, tennis court, private pool and whirlpool, landscaped picnic area with gas grills, fish cleaning station and laundry facilities. But what boaters seem to love most about our marina is how spotless the tile showers and restrooms are–and we know this because they tell us all the time!

Harbor Centre Marina is a safe, fun place to be. The parking lots are controlled and uniformed night watch keeps an eye on things while you sleep. It’s also within walking distance to downtown. If you’re looking for some land activities–you’ll certainly be close to Sheboygan’s sandy beaches or Harbor Centre District–just down the street fom the marina. If you’re staying for a few days, hop over to EOS on South Pier and rent a bike for your stay.

For boats, on-site mechanical service and sanitary pump-out round out your needs, but what we’re really famous for up and down the Lake Michigan shores is our fuel. We believe we have the best fuel on the lake at 89 percent octane and no alcohol. Better gas makes better boating!

Visit the Harbor Centre Marina online or call (920) 458-6665. Seasonal boat slips and winter storage are available.
