​~Where to meet Us~

McKinley Marina- Slip A1 
1750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.
Milwaukee, WI 53202

~Parking~

Once you turn in from N Lincoln Memorial you will follow go straight  past the Milwaukee Yacht Club until the driveway forces you turn left. After turning left you will come to a booth. There is no charge for parking, however, if it is busy they may be turning away cars. Just tell them that you are going on a Charter with Blue Ribbon Outdoors and they will let you past. 

Parking is available on the far side(East side) of the parking lot from where you come in. You may drop off coolers, clothes, people, etc in the circle driveway in front of the McKinley Marina Roundhouse before parking. 

~The Boat~

Being Slip A1 makes it very easy to find us. Go through the gate in the chain link fence and the first green gate on your left is A Dock. This gate is usually locked so you will have to get out attention to come let you in.

There is a head on the boat but we recommend stopping in the Roundhouse's restrooms before we take off. They are located on the side of the building that faces the fish cleaning station.
