Nice, very well protected marina. Quiet. Nice side tie to a floating dock. Staff was minimal but the people at the marina were great!

The club was so welcoming to our group. Facilities were great, super service from all staff in the club house.

What a beautiful spot! Stonington Hatbor Yacht Club was most welcoming . We took a spot on the dock and enjoyed the town, but a mooring would’ve been equally good, as the launch was top notch answering calls from their large field . It was a great stop and would happily return .

I cannot say enough about this location. It was awesome. And the dockmaster was incredibly friendly and helpful. We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her! She is a very hard worker and deserves a bonus. And of course, what can we say about Stonington itself. What a lovely village. Lots of restaurants and small shops. And for those with bikes, do not forget to visit Velvet Mills nearby. It is a renovated factory building with so many local shops and businesses I lost count. At least 40 of them. However, we missed it because we were here for the two days that they were closed. They are only open Thursday to Sunday. We recommend Noah's Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although there are others worth trying too.

Dock staff was very friendly and helpful but the docks were in bad shape. The cleat that I was tied up to was attached to a deck board that was not secured properly and I tried three separate power pedestals for 50 amp service and 30 amp to no avail. Finally was able to run a single 30 amp to run minimal systems on my boat. Great little town and very scenic harbor.

Wonderful friendly people with great facilities. Cookies at the yacht club are awesome! 50amp power at the transient dock not working.

Dock master is very nice and helpful. Great views and location. Only problem we had is no power on the dock ,so had to run the generator all night. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

Helpful staff on the docks!

by Kip C. - Verified user on Jun 19, 2026
The SHYC is a first class operation. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Special recognition for Amy who not only handles the launch, but also manages to be at the ready when docking, she is super professional! For first timmers, entry into the harbor and marina is exceptionally easy. The marina is protected by multiple breakwaters. The overall harbor of Stonington is picture perfect. Their new launch service has a beautifuly restored launch. On site dining is so convenient as well.
Marina Response:
Thanks Kip! We look forward to having you here again.

It is always a pleasure to stay @ SHYC. Everyone is always so pleasant to deal with from making the reservation to enjoying the launch captains. Many thanks for always being there for us!!!

Thank you for the kind review! The launch captains are the best!

Very friendly and good food when open. The water on the dock was not yet turned on for Memorial Day Weekend. After asking about how to access showers and heads on Sunday, we were locked out and couldn’t access them. Ridiculously high priced dock space without a hot shower on a cold rainy Sunday. They should definitely tell their staff how visiting yachtsmen can access the facilities when the clubhouse is closed.

Incredible facility in a beautiful and well protected harbor
