Commissioning


All vessels, unless otherwise noted, will receive the basic commissioning services once launched. This includes:

  • Checking all thru-hull fittings and visible bilge compartments for leaks,

  • Checking engine and generator fluids,

  • Starting engines and generator (reaching operating temperature)

  • Verifying no fuel or water leaks are present post-startup,

  • Verifying operation of navigation lights and horn,

  • Running AC units, priming if necessary.

  • Verifying battery chargers' operation (Vessels will be put on shore power on our docks after launch, and will be verified for operation of battery chargers).

Please select the above option to obtain information about our Concierge Service. This service from Bay Marine Chicago includes an all-inclusive inspection and launch package. A certified technician will cover all of the vessel's systems from top to bottom with the goal of providing the most seamless start to your boating season possible.
If you DO NOT WANT any included or optional commissioning services, please select this option. By selecting this option, you will decline any of the included commissioning and vessel checks. Bay Marine Chicago will launch your vessel without any additional services. You must be present to perform your own checks to ensure no leaks are present and run your engines, and depart our dockage soon after.

Please continue for additional Commissioning options.

When No Commissioning Services Are Requested

When no commissioning services are requested, I accept full responsibility for the commissioning of systems not serviced by Bay Marine Chicago.

Launch Date Assignment and Procedure

I understand that my launch date will be assigned based on where my vessel is located in Bay Marine Chicago's storage building or yard. Bay Marine Chicago will work with my requested launch date and attempt to accommodate my requested launch date as closely as possible. Bay Marine will contact me via phone to confirm and set the proposed launch date during March. I understand that Bay Marine must receive the majority of boat owner Commissioning forms before scheduling can be finalized.

Settled Balance Requirements for Launch

I understand that all open balances must be paid and any due payments must be settled before Bay Marine Chicago launches my vessel.

Vessel Departure Requirements

I understand that I am required to remove my vessel from the Bay Marine Chicago docks within 48 hours of launch and commissioning unless other arrangements are in place. I understand that Bay Marine Captains can deliver my vessel to a transient slip in Waukegan Harbor by request if needed.

I understand that Bay Marine reserves the right to provide Waukegan Harbor my customer information, and to deliver vessels - after 48 hours on Bay Marine Chicago's docks - to a transient slip within the harbor, and that the cost of the transient slip will be billed to me via Bay Marine's billing system.
