I would definitely return. Tricia in office was very helpful. The free ice was a first for me! I wish the building was open after 4:30. No heads or showers!! Only 2 suggestions: -some dock pedestal lights not functioning makes tripping more likely -lack of trash barrel anywhere near docks, how come?

Marina Response:

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for bringing the lighting issue to my attention, I will certainly have someone take a look at it. We do have a small garbage area to the left of the docks at the end of the parking lot, my apologies for not ensuring you were show where it is located. - Tricia

Loved the location. Staff was great and very helpful. Very disappointing internet access at the dock. In fact the cell signal was extremely weak as well at the dock. But that is not the Yacht Club's fault. Again, that outstanding location makes up for the minor inconvenience. I would definitely return again. Loved it!!!

Lovely harbor. We were packed in on the floating dock, and the staff and other boaters were very helpful. SYC club house is beautiful, a bit of a walk from the docks but with laundry, heads and an excellent restaurant Very much enjoyed our dinner there. Stonington Borough is an easy walk with shops and restaurants for breakfast and lunch. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is the lack of wi-fi at the docks. Our phones had no signal and without wi-fi we had to walk up to the club to get weather updates. Stormy couple of days.

Marina Response:

We are so glad you enjoyed the amenities that we have to offer and had a nice stay in Stonington. Wi-fi is very tricky in this area and we can only hope it improves in the future. We hope you will visit again!- Tricia

by Matt H. - Verified user on Jul 14, 2023

Love the location and we enjoyed being able to walk to Dog Watch for dinner. The SHYC staff was friendly and helpful, even offering free ice which was great. However, not having access to heads or showers between 5 pm and 9 am is unfortunate. Even so, we enjoyed our one night stay.

Marina Response:

We are happy you enjoyed your stay. We understand that Tuesday evening restricted access can be a drawback, as we are not a full service marina. We hope you will visit again on any other evening when we offer dinner service.- Tricia

Good communications from the booking side of the YC. Quick walk to town for a bite was a plus. Could have used dock hands, we came in around 1430 Memorial Day Sunday and our assigned slip was too small. Thankfully the other boat owners were on boat their boats and moved to accommodate us. Not sure what we would have done if the boats were unoccupied.

Arrival directions were provided with reservation. We were assigned to the outer doc on any spot between or behind the existing boats. The power pedestal is too close for this set up...when incoming boats ignore the no wake rule. Walking to some beautiful areas, homes, beaches. Not much as far as dining (just the one at the facility) or provisioning. Not sure where the showers / restrooms were as we never saw any staff during our stay.

Marina Response:

Hello, I apologize your stay with SHYC did not meet your expectations. This week we were unexpectedly forced to shut down to due to staff COVID exposure (as was another restaurant right down the street) which explains why you did not see anyone during your stay. However, that should have been communicated to you, and I am sorry it was not. I hope that you will consider staying with us again next season and we would be happy to provide a list of neighboring restaurants, and a location for provisions. Stay safe and healthy and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better circumstances.- Tricia

We enjoyed staying here. It is a linear that handles only a few boats, there was a nice restaurant by the docks and the club had showers and its own restaurant a short walk away. Friendly dock hand and really a short walk to a quaint town top off the experience.

Great experience. All the staff was sincerely friendly. Chris, the dockmaster, was particularly helpful. I sail single-handed and he was very helpful getting me tied up. Even though the wide-open dock is easy to approach, with a gusty north wind it was nice to have help. And, he went out of his way to move boats around so I could stay an extra night.

It's a good stop over when heading East or West along the CT coast. Easy walk to town with many restaurants. There was a mixup on the shower/ice codes the next morning that was cleared up when staff arrived at 8:30. They gave us a discount for our troubles. This was nice of them. We would use this YC again.

The dock available is very accessible and with good service for electric, water and everything needed. However, the bathrooms and showers are located a ten minute walk away. I was not given a map or tour, but in the morning when I needed the facilities, I followed a fellow boater across the green and into the garage of the club. I had been given the code when I first docked. (without any assistance as the number I had for the dock master went to the "restaurant") The other boater went into one of the shower/bathrooms, but the second one was locked even though its sign said "available". The door handles have a button lock and the prior occupant must have shut the door with the button depressed. This was very inconvenient as the other bathroom did not open for ten minutes. There was no-one around to ask for help, the phone number for the club went to the "restaurant" and all floors of the building were deserted with locked doors. So, in my experience, not a lot of staff assistance is available.

Marina Response:

Hello, I am sorry that your stay here did not meet your expectations. We are certainly facing the situation that most businesses in the hospitality industry are dealing with in being shorter staffed than we would like during a very busy season. Moving forward we will be sure to provide very clear instructions for accessing the building after hours as well as when staff is on, and I have our maintenance manager fixing the door lock as I write this. Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer and hopefully we will see you again next year. -Tricia

There was no dockhand at the dock when we arrived. They called me at 10AM the morning of my arrival. They asked and I told them we would arrive at 3. We arrived at 3:07. Called 3 times, no response. Then there was a group of young teenagers swimming of the breakwater. They were in front of the dock when I was trying to dock. y came up the ladder on the dock and dove off the other end. After doing it at least 3 more times, I pointed out the NO SWIMMING sign. They stopped but started to swear at us from the breakwater until they left at 5:30. It was very disturbing in a beautiful setting!

Marina Response:

Hello, I am so sorry to hear that your experience at SHYC was not what you had hoped for. We pride ourselves on providing the best experience for our visiting guests and this certainly fell short in a few ways.

It was a pleasant overnight stop overall. Club is located just inside breakwater in Stonington Harbor. Somewhat less protected from prevailing SW winds than locations further into the harbor, but spacious outside transient slips quite easy to negotiate. Staff friendly & helpful.Clubhouse restaurant, normally open to overnight guests, was regrettably closed to us due to Covid policy, but they allowed me to use the bathrooms. Short walk to everything in Stonington Borough.

We stayed at SHYC twice on our way to and from Martha’s Vineyard. The dock was easy to access and well maintained. It was a perfect place for us from a convenience perspective. The clubhouse was a short walk from the dock, which was fine with us. The clubhouse is very new and the shower facilities were top notch. Really great. The restaurant and bar were welcoming, and the food was good. The service was a little slow, but that was ok with us. The dock is a few block walk to Stonington, which was a terrific little town. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Update for 2020: the staff helping on the dock were courteous but were not really dock staff. It was ok as we could handle the docking ourselves, but do not expect a pro dock staff this year. Seems like they are doing their best in the tough COVID-19 summer

Stayed once before a couple years ago. Had power issues then. Had power issues again during this stay, as did other boats we were traveling with. Have stayed at over 50 marinas with our current boat in the past couple years and only had issue at one other marina where they had a known electrical issue. Also, got shocked when turning off the breaker when we were departing. It was very humid so don't know if that played a role but wish the power issues would be fixed on the dock... the 50 amp connection looked rusty so corrosion inside the shore power pedestal may have played a role but switched to a completely different pedestal with twin 30 amps to 50 amp via an adapter. The breaker itself is what shocked me when I went to turn it off to disconnect.

Marina Response:

Hello, I am so sorry about this inconvenience during your stay. Our electrical system at the dock is in need of an upgrade and we have been working with the property management company to ensure that this happens as quickly as possible. I hope that you will give us another chance in the future and wish you a safe and fun season on the water. Tricia, Dockmaster

The location is nice. Had trouble communicating with dock staff on the VHF prior to docking. There is power and water on the docks. Everyone is friendly Restaurant looked nice but could not get in due to private event.

Marina Response:

Hello, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at SHYC. We are absolutely looking into the issue with our VHF system which seems to have been not working at full capacity this past week. In the future we will be sure to alert our transient guests ahead of time when the Club is closed for a private event which is only three times a year. We hope to see you back next summer!

Excellent staff and YC. However I think their Dockwa overview should mention that the YC is closed on Mondays. Other than that - a great spot, walk to town. Easy in and out from the Sound

We were able to stay on the T Dock. Attendant was terrific and super helpful. The club is beautiful. We were given a tour by Diane (I think), a wonderful woman who works in the office. Showers were Great. Easy walk to beach, adorable town and great restaurants. Highly recommend.

A very convenient along-side berth in Stonington. Just a bit bumpy during the night with a fresh SW wind. Showers clean but a good walk, not very large. Dock stgaff ran us by their car to get propane. VERY nice!

Katie was very helpful taking the initiative to call me and offer recommendations for dinner. Had a great dinner at Water St cafe thanks to Katie! However, it was offseason and 3.50ft is too expensive. Could not even plug into the dock since all pedestals are 30amp and we need 50amp. So $3.50ft without electricity!

Marina Response:

Hello, We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and dinner in Stonington Borough. We do have one 50amp available and gladly try to accommodate requests if possible. Our season is Memorial Day to Columbus Day however our dock hands are still in school in early June. Also included in the price of the docks is access to showers, laundry, ice and dining in our restaurant. We hope that you will visit us again this summer! Sincerely, SHYC Management
