MTI Partners with Westrec for Member Event in Chicago

Marine Technology Inc. (MTI), announced a new boating event for MTI customers to be held in partnership with Westrec Marinas. The event will take place June 27 to 29 in Chicago, Illinois.

“We look forward to showing our friends at MTI the Midwestern hospitality Chicago is famous for,” said Scott Stevenson, executive vice president of Westrec Marinas and manager of the Chicago Park District Harbors. “We’re going to have several events to see some of our harbors and do some fun things. For example, on one day we are going to take all the boats through the Chicago locks, up the Chicago River and right in between the buildings. We’re going to tie up and have a reception at City Winery. We’ll also do fun runs to other marinas—one to North Point, which is about 50 miles away. It should be a really enjoyable weekend. Chicagoans know how to have a good time, and I think that will be clear to everyone who joins us.”

Stevenson said one of the highlights is going to be a private party for MTI owners at the 31st Street Harbor marina at its new floating pool, restaurant and bar.

Since hosting its first independent fun run in 2015, MTI has hosted multiple events for its owners in the Florida Keys and on Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks. The new venue in Chicago will cater to the company’s Midwest customers, while also allowing a new place to explore for other MTI customers from around the country.
