ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS
SUNSET MARINA
Sunset Marina is owned by the City of Rock Island and professionally managed by F3 Marina. Located in Sunset Park at 31st Avenue and the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois, our beautiful harbor is surrounded by 250 acres of woods and a tranquil, secluded park with jogging paths, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The spacious marina boasts 395 slips for seasonal, monthly, and overnight docking; slips range from 16 feet to 60 feet in length.
Our fuel dock, located at the east end of the harbor on Lake Potter, offers diesel and non-ethanol fuel along with free pump-outs. Sunset Marina offers restrooms with showers and coin-operated laundry facilities, and a 35-ton Marine Travelift is on-site to support the needs of our valued patrons.
“A big shout out to the crew, Denise, Joe and, of course, Chad, for doing a tremendous job through one of the most challenging years that I can recall and I’ve been there for the better part of 50 years. Most of us were leery at first, but they proved us wrong!!! Great job!”

5 DAY WEATHER FORECAST
The end of the season has come! Here's a few details:
- after today, the fuel dock will be closed until the spring season, which starts April 1st, 2025.
- our office/ship store hours will be reduced by an hour, now closing at 4pm, Monday-Friday.
- beginning tomorrow, any boat still in the water without a haul-out scheduled will be charged $5/day until November 6th; after this date, we will charge transient rates ($1.25 per foot/per day) until the boat is out of the water.
- now that the season is closed, we will begin winterizing the marina's water and fuel systems within the next few working days, and moving inventory from the fuel dock to the ship store.
- close of the season also means we will begin closing the swinging entrance gate at the end of our work day. This was installed last winter as a measure to reduce the large amount of drive-throughs we have on the property throughout the winter months and to deter theft and vandalism. If you need into the property after hours, you will need to have a customer access key- otherwise, you'll need to park outside the gate and walk in. And of course, if you do come in, please close the gate behind you.
- speaking of theft, please make sure all of your belongings are removed from the dock, and that your boats are locked up if they are stored here. Winter at the marina means there's not an abundance of boaters to deter potential thieves, and stored boats can become a target for vagrancy and theft. We are not responsible for loss of personal items if they are left behind, so please take any and all important personal items from your vessels or slips before you leave for the season.
- we are going to be sending out contracts to our seasonal boaters for the 2025 season as soon as we have details about the rates for next year. We are looking into a few new incentives for our seasonal boaters, so stay tuned...
Thanks to all of our boaters for being here in the 2024 season, and we look forward to seeing you in 2025! ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning!
This weekend will be the last weekend that the fuel dock will be open for business, as the last day of the season will be Thursday, October 31st. We will begin the process of winterizing the dock water and fuel systems shortly after, so make sure to get topped off while you can!
We are also working on getting next years seasonal dockage rates nailed down with the City of Rock Island Government; once we have these, we will be sending out 2025 contracts shortly after to all of our seasonal customers! We will let you know once we have more details.
Again, a reminder that all boats are to be out of their slips by October 31st. Unless you have a seasonal storage contract with us and you're on the lift schedule, dockage past the 31st will be charged at $5 a day for the first 5 days, after which we will charge transient dockage rates ($1.25/linear ft per day). These charges can add up fast, so please make arrangements to be out of the slips as soon as possible. ... See MoreSee Less

are the boat ramps in potters lake open, is the dredging still going on?
Do we need to turn in our gate keys?
13 days left in the season! If you plan to store your vessel here and have not scheduled a time to be hauled out, now is the time to do so! We still have lift times available through the end of the month, but they are starting to fill up; if you wish to get set up for the winter time, give us a call or stop in! Just a reminder, all boats are to be out of their slips by the 31st. If there is any reason you need to be in longer, you will need to make arrangements at the office. Any boat in the slip past October 31st without authorization from the office will be charged accordingly. ... See MoreSee Less
