Great secure mooring field. 15 kts of wind made the pickup "interesting".

Great stopover or could spend a day or two here. Very responsive harbormaster to help guide us in at low. Moorings in good condition. Plenty of depth for our 6.5ft keel.

The launch service was mainly for members. Only after serving members would it service us on a mooring. I guess I understand that. Also the launch service ended at 6:45 pm.

Cute and convenient location. Nice short walk in National Audubon area at point, overlooking lighthouse. Helpful staff gave clear directions. Launch was helpful in informing us of local sights and food.

Nice mooring. Not the place to get fuel! Too much work for understaffed YC.

We stayed on a BPYC mooring. John was fantastic on launch and we very much enjoyed the scenic spot for our overnight stay.

Nice cozy spot great harbor

This is a great spot and BPYC has always been very helpful. As a others have mentioned, the weather can negatively impact the mooring field if winds are NE. We experienced exactly that during the 4th of July weekend of 2021 when winds from the NE started increasing at around 0200 with eventual gusts to 30-which was higher than forecast. Conditions in the mooring field were very bad. Not respecting the forecast was our error, but if you avoid a NE wind pattern, we can highly recommend a stop.

Clean, friendly, convenient, a bit pricey. Great launch staff. Pretty well protected. Nice area for walking. Market nearby has good food, but expensive.

Lovely cove just off the ocean with fairly easy inlet and plenty of depth. We were told the fairway and mooring area up to the BPYC was dredged in 2020 and saw no less than 13.5 ft at mid tide. Staff was very responsive, friendly, and always available. We will return!

Nice sleepy town. Beautiful cove Was a little surfy but good spot for a stop. Decent provision store in town as well. Had an issue with my dinghy and the nice HarborMaster took me out and told me back to my boat. Very friendly definitely a nice stop over SPOT for a relaxing evening.

We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our two stays here with BPYC. The whole BPYC team was friendly and professsional, and made transient boaters feel very welcome. Goldthwaite’s store/restaurant was also super convenient for reprovisioning and having a quick meal.

Perfect stop on a mooring after we left Glouster heading north. Launch service, provision store next door with a great seafood cafe. We will be back.

Small club and very accommodating people. Perfect place for a walk around town and to the beach.

Nice spot to relax and wait out a T-storm. The facilities are basic but clean. Staff are very professional. It’s fun to watch the kids in sail school. The local mart is well stocked but pricey! Definitely worth the stop.

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 $65 per weeknight and $75 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.
