Nice and accommodating

Protected little pond as long as winds aren’t north and/or east. Cute yacht club with friendly staff and nice, simple, clean bathroom + shower. Area is a bit remote from any stores or restaurants once tourist season is over but a 15 to 20 min cab ride away from Kennebunkport- lots of great dining and provisioning options there. Great little stop over that is not out of the way or much of a detour if heading south/west. Also nice dinghy adventure possibilities up the Saco river if feeling adventurous.

Was able to call in on my cell phone and reserve a mooring at 9:30 am. Completed transaction when I had cellular service in the harbor. Great service from the staff.

Excellent mooring. Good instructions

Nice stay. Our mooring was right at the no wake maker so we were rocked a little.

Our only issue was heading into the Gut and then finding out that our mooring was just outside the Gut. Mike and the launch service was very nice and showed us the Clubhouse and shower (just one). The general store 100’ away had everything we needed and the gift shop was lovely.

BBYC is a true gem. Down to earth friendly club with nice facilities lots of confusion on the assigned mooring but finally cleared it up. Thank you courtesy.

Very nice Anchorage, super helpful folks on the phone. The mooring appeared to be in very good shape, clean lines and a pick up stick.

The rollest anchorage I had ever stayed. When I chose to stay there it was because the picture showing the pool where some moorings are is well protected. They only own one mooring there for a 35 foot boot. The rest of their moorings have no protection from any direction of wind.

Marina Response:

So sorry you had a bad experience. Our profile clearly states that our moorings are located in Wood Island Harbor and are not in the Pool and that we do not provide slip space. I'm surprised you found it uncomfortable last night, as the conditions were quite calm without much swell at all. Upon your arrival, you stated that you were experiencing extreme motion sickness. Perhaps that was the problem and not the location of the mooring? Safe Travels.

We always enjoy staying on a Biddeford Pool mooring. It was an exceptionally calm evening for great sleeping.

Biddeford Pool is a sweet, beautiful location and the BPYC moorings are convenient to the clubhouse and dinghy landing. The fellows running the YC launch operation are knowledgeable , fun , helpful and welcoming. I enjoyed a one night stay and look forward to returning.

Very accommodating club, helpful staff, very nice, although modest, facility. Open and somewhat exposed mooring field, but easy to navigate. Fun casual restaurant nearby.

Stay was great. Lee is a nice guy and was at our boat with the shuttle within minutes. Nice little restaurant and store around the corner for some seafood or burger and some small supplies.

About Biddeford Pool Yacht Club

The Biddeford Pool Yacht Club is not a marina. We are a private Yacht Club that welcomes transient boaters to use our facilities for a nominal fee. We do not have slip space available. Our guest moorings are located in Wood Island Harbor, outside of the Pool. When it blows hard from the North or East the anchorage can become quite uncomfortable.

Moorings are $45 per weeknight and $55 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday up to 4 nights. If you'd like to stay longer than 4 nights, the rate doubles for each night you book thereafter. Maximum stay is 7 nights.

For over 80 years, members have gathered at the club for sailing, racing and our annual Chowder Luncheon. We offer sailing lessons to members and non-members alike. BPYC also works with the Fisherman's Association to share our waterfront and keep the local fishing tradition alive. We're open to new members and encourage boaters with a connection to the Biddeford community to apply. Additionally, there is a small local grocery store within walking distance of the club for those that need provisions.
