Ya know it gets 20+ below zero here in the winter. Brrrrrrrrr! Oh yea and the water freezes, that might be a problem. If you are just wanting to liveaboard during the sailing season Monroe Harbor is your best bet and most affordable, I know cans are available. You will be on a mooring can, but they have a good tender service pizza delivery A Binkys liquor store that will deliver to the marina. You will defiantly want a dinghy, so you don't have to depend on the tender service to get you ashore as well as a good battery charging system. If I didn't have 2 dogs I would liveaboard in the summer I work about 2 blocks away. Chicago Harbors - Westrec Marinas
Thanks again everyone. The farther from the city the better It is nice to know there are year round liveaboard marinas there. I live by lake erie in PA right now. All boats have to be out of the water by October.

in your last post, you specify "year round". None of the marinas I am aware of in IL are year-round. NorthPoint is April - Oct, sometimes Nov. City of Chicago I believe open May 1.
