Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday will celebrate the new Navy Pier Marina, which officially opens to boaters next month.

It will also feature a two-story boater amenities building made from single-use shipping containers; housing the marina's office, ship's store, restrooms, showers, laundry, boater's lounge, bicycle repair station, and pet relief station.
The marina can accommodate boats up to 183 feet in length, and has 24-hour staffed surveillance.
The Navy Pier Marina officially opens on June 15, but boat slip reservations are already available online.
