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 219 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 Season begins April 1st! All boaters are cleared to begin occupying the slips on April 1st, provided that we have these on file:
- A filled out/signed contract for seasonal services
- Current insurance documentation
- Payment, whether you’ve started a payment arrangement or have paid in full
We are ready to begin launching boats when you are, so give us a call and see what times we have available on our lift schedule! Lifts are by appointment only (excluding emergencies). Currently, the lift operates Monday thru Friday, beginning at 8am and shutting down by 3pm.
While we are a bit flexible with launch season arriving and needing to get launches scheduled, we do need to get things in gear for the Summer Season, and that is much harder to do with customer vessels in our work areas. If you have a boat stored on the lot or in the garage: please note that the Winter Storage Season is officially over as of April 1st, so please make arrangements with the office if you are needing to store the boat past this date. If we find your vessel on the lot without a storage plan/contract in place, you will be billed at the monthly storage rate (based on square footage) until a suitable solution is in place with the office.
You will surely see us out and about getting the Marina ready for the upcoming season- there are a lot of projects to do! As you arrive to your slip this season, please let us know if you have any issues that need immediate attention. Need a cleat moved? Is there a dock board needing replaced or reset? We will do our best to get it taken care of as soon as possible.

We are a little over a month away from the start of the 2026 season! Haven’t turned in your contract yet? Come down to the office or give us a call and see what we have available! We are excited to begin welcoming everyone back to the marina after these long winter months.
FYI—The marina office will be closed all next week (Feb 22nd – March 1st) due to scheduled summit meetings with F3 Marina and we will re-open on March 2nd. If you wish to turn in a contract, feel free to either mail it to the office or drop it through the mail slot on the front office door and I will get these processed upon my return. If you need to get in contact or have any questions, send me an email at Kdavis@f3marina.com as I will be checking this regularly throughout the week, or call (309) 738-9734 and I will get back to you as soon as possible! ...
