Nice place for a mooring. Very friendly staff. New Haven isn't exactly a tourist destination, but this place was a good stop.

Helpful person at the bar at the club gave advice and the key card. It was a pleasant night stay on the ball there. Very close to the LIRR station (5 min uber) to drop off my wife who had to return home early.

Great location and facilities. Very friendly people. Top notch restaurant. Please note, there is no launch service. You'll need dinghy.

Nice people. Great local advice over a beer. Mooring field is a very short ride from the dinghy dock. New restaurant on the first floor of the clubhouse was excellent. Great clam chowder and bread. Diesel was cheap compared to other places on Long Island Sound.

This is a beautiful Yacht Club with excellent amenities (showers, washer and dryer for washing clothes) and a panoramic view of New Haven's Harbor. It has an excellent bar with extremely friendly bar staff. There's also a first-floor restaurant that is not part of the Yacht Club but also serves the upstairs Yacht Club. The only downsides to this destination are that they have no launch service, no dedicated dinghy docks, and when the wind is blowing in from the Sound there's an ungodly foul order from a nearby water treatment facility; I first thought there was a sewer treatment facility nearby.

We enjoyed our two day stay on a mooring and appreciated your wonderful bathrooms that are air conditioned and had hooks and a bench and a toilet and sink All in one spot making it extremely functional The bar upstairs had wonderful margaritas and the air conditioning during a heat spell was heavenly We are sorry to hear about the boat explosion and hope the man that was injured is okay

Marina Response:

The yacht club is not ready for transients. Nice people but lack of info and docks that do not fit to the size of the boat are a recipe for disaster.

Absolutely enjoyable club, great location, members super friendly and helpful upon arrival. Great food on site, restaurant and member's club very nice. 5 out of 5 no question.

Great view from the yacht club bar upstairs. Very welcoming bartender gave us the key to the gate and showers/laundry which were in good shape. We had trouble communicating with the fuel dockhand, but got it sorted out after we picked up the mooring ball. The fuel dock is not staffed on Mon & Tuesdays.

Nice little mooring area, and good grounds. Just watch yourself on the mooring pendants. I got sliced pretty good by the barnacles all over the lines. Gloves next time. :)

Best view in the area.

Spent a great two nights on a mooring ball at Pequonnock Yacht Club. Once reserved, I received a call from the vice commodore to answer any questions that I may have had, while explaining in detail what to expect. Very nice club, great facilities and very friendly people! We'll go back anytime if our schedule allows!

by Bruce H. - Verified user on Aug 03, 2023

No one answered VHF call. No answer at club. No launch service. Terrible place to stay.

by Frank P. - Verified user on Jul 30, 2023

Excellent. Will be back

by Harold W. - Verified user on Jul 20, 2023

Five stars if they offered launch service. Nice club with friendly and welcoming members. Nice restaurant on premises. We didn’t explore much so I can’t comment about the area. No complaints, not a bad stop over if in the area.

by Marc L. - Verified user on Jul 19, 2023

I love this place. Laid back vibe, clean facilities. Helpful neighbors. Can’t wait to return.

by Charles P. - Verified user on Jul 17, 2023

Probably not fair to rate because it poured while we were there and never met anyone. One thing transients should know is there is no launch service so if you’re one a mooring, unless you want to stay on the boat, you might want to go elsewhere.

by David G. - Verified user on Jul 14, 2023

Great docks. Nice showers. Great club with a bar and nice people to relax with.

by noah c. - Verified user on Jul 14, 2023

Easy in and out. Friendly staff. Well maintained moorings. Didn't answer VHF but answered phone instantly. Will be back!

by Jean A. - Verified user on Jul 12, 2023

Nice reception with clear instructions. Mooring are sturdy and from what we saw, fairly new and well setup. Picking up mooring lines is a breeze. Facilities are convivial, clean and everything is there for a beautiful overnight stay. Nice restaurent on the YC facility although we haven’t tried it ( maybe next time!) if possible, take a walk thru the neighbouring area, nice houses and calm streets. It is a big city stop over but yet, not too noisy or busy.

Great little marina! Friendly, welcoming and down to earth staff and club members! They don’t seem to monitor their radio but answer their landline and couldn’t be more helpful! We stayed on a mooring and were told to just pick up any one we wanted. They were not limited by size or weight so any one of them was fine for our 50 ft sailing vessel with 7 ft draft. Dinghy dock is between E and F dock on the far side of the restaurant, inside the break wall. If you go inside the Shell and Bones restaurant there is a door on the left side of the vestibule to go upstairs to the clubhouse. Drinks are cheap, people are friendly and the view is beautiful! Also a short Uber ride to Pepe’s on Wooster street where you can get the BEST pizza!

About Pequonnock Yacht Club

Transient power or sail boaters will find their ideal home-away-from-home at Pequonnock's top-tier location while enjoying a stunning panoramic view on the west shore of New Haven Harbor. The surrounding neighborhood is historic City Point district of New Haven which is a stone's throw from a variety of attractions in the downtown area. Tie up at the assigned mooring or slip and check in at the bar in the clubhouse to receive a keycard for access to club facilities and docks; just ring the buzzer by the door for guest entry.

Our floating docks offer power and water making your stay comfortable and safe on our protected docks while take advantage of our upstairs clubhouse, shower and coin-operated laundry facilities, and the 4-star oyster bar and restaurant, Shell and Bones, on our first floor. In addition, outdoor BBQ stations are available for use along the deck. Our clubhouse offers a small bar menu with locally prepared pizzas, hotdogs, and small meals if you're looking for a quick bite.

Our marina offers a fuel dock with Valvtec marine diesel and gas with our friendly dock staff there to assist Wed-Sun 10a-6p; the gas dock is closed Mon-Tues. Our recently renovated mooring field is also available just outside of our seawall entrance. The club installed Helix Mooring Systems in 2020 so whether you're staying one night or long term, you can rest easy knowing your vessel and equipment are safe. Although we do not offer launch service, we do have an available dingy dock in the marina, We look forward to seeing you this boating season.
