Pinnacle's Newest Location - Chicago's Belmont Harbor

Along the shoreline of Chicago's Lincoln Park lies Belmont Harbor. This charming marina provides Pinnacle members great dockage with quick access to the waters of Lake Michigan. Its location five miles north of down-town Chicago makes it exceptionally convenient for people who may live in the north side of the city and in the north-shore suburbs.

Partial Shares Offered In Chicago, Miami and Annapolis

Pinnacle is currently offering partial shares on a few Sail and Powerboats in Chicago, Miami and Annapolis. Please check the listings below and act soon if you wish to take advantage of this limited offer.

Free Spontaneous Use

You awake to blue skys. It's perfect for a day on the water and you want to head out now! Pinnacle allows you to take advantage of days like these by providing free spontaneous use of your yacht. Anytime your yacht is not otherwise scheduled 24 hours prior to the start of the next timeslot, you may use boat spontaneously without additional charge.

Week-Long or Weekend Trips - Guaranteed

Interested in cruising for a week or getting away for several days? No need to attempt to piecemeal sail times together or negotiate with other Members. Our proprietary scheduling technology provides you with the trips you want - Guaranteed!

Reciprocal Use at Pinnacle Bases

Tending to business or visiting family in a city with a great coastline? Visiting Members may cruise a comparable boat from Pinnacle bases in Chicago, Stamford, Annapolis and Miami for just $250 per timeslot.

Longer Weekend Time

Other fractional programs cram three timeslots into each day of the weekend making your time on the boat quite rushed. Not so with Pinnacle. Our weekend timeslots are the same duration as our weekday timeslots, running from 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m., and from 5:00 p.m. overnight, through 9:00 a.m. the following morning. No pressure to return quickly - simply relax and enjoy.

All-Inclusive Pricing

Pinnacle pricing is all-inclusive, covering the yacht, dockage/mooring, insurance, maintenance, cleaning, consumable items and fuel for local use of sailboats. Fuel consumed by sailboats during extended trips and by power yachts at any time is paid for by the Member. In Miami, an engine hour fee is charged for the power yacht.

A security deposit is collected based on the type, size and location of your yacht. Security deposits range from $1,000 to $4,000. Tax is also collected at 5% to 8%. A one-time initiation fee of $1,000 is charged in addition for orientation and setup in the program.
