SUNSET MARINA

Office Hours

Monday, Thursday, and Friday

8:30 AM to 12:30 PM

1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

The marina office

is closed for lunch

from 12:30 PM to

1 PM.

If you call on Tuesday or Wednesday, just leave a message and we'll follow up on Thursday.

The office is closed during City observed holidays.

Please contact the Marina office if you notice that a dock needs repair or maintenance, a dock light is out, etc.

All dock gates should be kept closed to help ensure the security of the boats and belongings of all marina patrons.

If a dock gate is open, shut it.

If you see suspicious activity, please contact the office or the Rock Island Police Department if it's after hours.

Don't forget about our slip referral program.

If you're a current leaseholder and know someone interested in a slip, send them in!

Make sure they mention your name when they rent a slip so you can receive 10% of the slip lease amount up to $100.

Fishing off the docks is not allowed in the marina.

This is to prevent hooks from getting caught in neighboring boat canvas, getting stuck in the dock frame work where it could injure workers making repairs and to keep lost fishing line from getting wrapping around a prop.

Grilling is permitted only when using an approved electric grill that is properly attached to the boat.

As a safety measure, the fire code does not permit other types of grilling in the marina on land or on the docks.

Sunset Marina Seeks Boaters Advisory Committee Members

We need your help!

First some background. The Sunset Marina Boaters Advisory Committee (BAC) consists of eleven members that are appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. Nine of the members are Sunset Marina leaseholders with no more than two members from the same dock series. The other two members are residents of Rock Island and represent the general public. Members are appointed for three years. The BAC serves as a method of communication between the boat owners and marina management and in an advisory capacity with the City. The BAC meets once a month.

Recently there has been difficulty finding people interested in serving on the Committee. Currently the 100, 300, 500, 700, 800 and 900 Docks are not represented and an at-large position is vacant.

We are considering a change from a committee that meets monthly to quarterly public meetings during boating season. A marina informational report similar to the current manager's report would be distributed monthly. Then in March, June and September we would hold a public meeting to discuss items of interest. Leaseholders would still be encouraged to call the office to ask questions, request repairs and share ideas with staff directly. We have an open door policy.

We are interested in your thoughts so let us know what you think.

If you are interested in applying for membership on the BAC, please contact the marina office at 309-732-2282.

Below is a list of current members.
