Ports

Sheboygan County is situated on beautiful Lake Michigan.  Lake Michigan and the other Great Lakes have long served as a transportation highway for many maritime communities.      

City of Sheboygan Marina

The City of Sheboygan Marina’s use is primarily recreation; however, there are a few commercial ventures that call Sheboygan home.  Most notability the salmon charter fishing fleets that helped make Sheboygan County the top pick in the Nation for salmon fishing in 2006 by Field and Stream Magazine.   

The Marina will not serve a viable logistics-based commercial use as the largest sloop is 50’.   However, if you find yourself moving your business to central Wisconsin, because of the nature of your venture, and you miss the maritime feeling of the coasts, please stop in the marina, and consider moving your business to Sheboygan County!
