Slips are available at Waukegan Harbor, which is conveniently located only 50 minutes from downtown Chicago or Milwaukee and within walking distance from Waukegan’s Metra train station.

Waukegan Regional Airport, located on the northwest side of Waukegan, is a general aviation facility that serves as a “reliever airport” for O’Hare International. The airport has 200 aircraft, including more than 50 corporate jets and approximately 100,000 annual aircraft operations. It is the second-busiest Illinois airport for international arrivals, which is a testament of the global workplace of many of Illinois’s major corporations based at Waukegan Regional. With the 6,000-foot runway, instrument landing system, manned air traffic control tower and even a U.S. customs office that provides clearances for direct international arrivals, Waukegan Regional Airport has reached prominence as a base of operations for “Chicagoland’s Fortune 500 Flyers.”
