The composition of your photo is in theory perfect; if you draw a line horizontally and a line vertically both at about 1/3 from the border, you'll see that all your subjects are on one of these two lines.
Your photo has three visible objects (2 boats and tower) all on the horizonline, so that my eyes are having trouble to chose which object is most important. The title says that the boat on the right must be the most important, but that's not really clear. The other boat (small boat) is slightly distracting. For the start of boating season there are too many boats, when you would have showed only the bigger boat, the start of boating season would have been expressed in a more symbolic way.
You choose to show a lot of pier and less of the lake, but to match your title more, it would have been nice to have the tower on the left and the boat sailing into the lake. The colours are just fine to look at, and really marine-like. The red and white of the lighthouse and the white of the boats are breaking the mass of blueness you have in your picture.

| Hey, this looks like Chicago, sailing into the lake from Navy Pier. Is it? Beautiful four-master! Beautiful sky. Good work! |

| A tighter crop on top would have added to the impression of the boat sailing the distance across the image. |

| There are a few strange specs in the sky that I might have cleaned up, but I like the color and the off-center subject a lot. The scene is a bit... static for me though. 7 |

| The birds in the sky should have been cropped out, they add no scale or anything. |

| Great by the book composition. Maybe a little oversaturated. A good postal card. (6) |

| Way too much water. I think this would have looked much better with more sky as the negative space. |

nice photo I like the colors
crop out the boat on the left to give it an old world feel
clone out the three spots in the sky and small white cap in the forground they are distracting - great job
