Facilities were fantastic. The ease of getting to and from the mooring and exploring the Ipswich Bay were ideal. Staff = A+. Highly recommend.

Staff was great! We found our mooring immediately, got picked up by a friendly launch boat and enjoyed a nice dinner at the club.

I was favorably impressed by the IBYC facility and commend the waterfront staff which is friendly and accommodating. Amelia was especially helpful!
Transient moorings are along the channel on the north side of the mooring field, and be advised that the outgoing tidal current is quite strong. The moorings themselves are the big "drum" type in which the pennants can be nested - but prior transients failed to do so. Despite the size of the mooring field, launch service to and from the mooring is prompt (and free - which is a nice touch). Once at the dock house, guests are issued a key card that provides access to the gangway and bathroom facilities. I recommend the effective bug repellent that is available for purchase at the dock house, since blood-seeking flies are fierce between the full moons of July and August! Tie-ups at the dock are normally limited to fifteen minutes, so don't plan to dwell there.

Service was excellent!

Friendly, active club. The charts are TOTALLY useless, as the area is tidal. Coast Guards resets the approach, up the river each year. Call IBYC for guidance, and reassurance coming in, as local knowledge is what it is all about!

Great dock workers and a fabulous restaurant! Launch boat drivers were pros and fast! Amelia at the dock was very nice and helped us with docking, trash, diesel and ice! Will be back next year (for our 4th year).

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at IBYC this July. Tom and his team were very responsive to all of our questions leading up to our arrival and during our stay. The location is amazing and very welcoming. Will be back again next summer!

Wonderful scenic location with prompt and attentive launch service to/from shore. The Yacht club includes a wonderful club house with food and a spectacular view.
