Ben Watts Marina, Inc.

Wanted to take a moment to thank Doug, Bob and staff for providing excellent service on my bass boat. I reached out to Ben Watts after receiving a few high quotes for a trim leak issue. A few other marinas wanted to replace the entire assembly which was extremely expensive on top of high labor. Doug and his team were able to identify that only a small o-ring was needed which saved me thousands. They gained a new customer and I highly recommend to anyone looking for work or a new boat. Very honest people.

Going on 3 decades of using Ben Watts for all our boating needs, It was getting rough in 2023 but the New owner has really made alot of improvements. Very helpful and friendly. Definitely stepped their game back up. Acid wash was a great price and it will be back in their indoor storage til next season.

I have been searching for a boat dealer that fits my needs. Ben Watts marina does that. Not by luck, by the effort of the people that are employed there. I have an older boat that will require attention from time to time. A boat in the shop is not much fun. Ben watt’s understands that and does a good job to repair it and get me back on the water. Repaired right the first time. The invoice is fair. The launch is the best one on the chain of lakes. (Fox River). Location right on route 12 in Fox Lake is easy in and out. I am considering a slip for the next season. I will continue to do my boat business at Ben Watts.

I’ve been coming here for 5 years now..& I wouldn’t trust anyone else to service my boat, seriously. Ben Watts is by far the best marina in Illinois. The amount of work/upgrades I’ve had done to my Nitro Z21 is crazy and I’ve never once had any issues afterwards! I film my own fishing videos/do social media for my full time job and I’ve never once had to worry about boat problems or missing time on the water..and for me, I can’t miss being out there filming. I dropped off my boat late yesterday and told them I was in a time crunch before my big fishing trip up north..I had the boat back in my driveway in less than 24 hours. & not to mention the owners/employees are very professional and the nicest people you will ever meet. Highly recommend bringing your boat here next time you need ANYTHING done to your boat/electronics. You will be in great hands with people you can trust. Thanks for everything Ben Watts!

Great place to keep your boats or just drop your boat in and park your trailer. Being off the main lakes and in a cove you're protected more. Miss the 6 years Shrinkage had her stay with me.
