Wonderfully managed with delightful tender operators.

Quick launch service and the attendants were friendly.
However, we overheard some criticism on the radio from whom I can only assume was the dockmaster. Evidently it was unacceptable to request a reservation 4 hours prior to arrival despite also radioing ahead as soon as we entered the harbor (their website mentions you can radio to request a mooring upon arrival anyway). Not sure what his problem was.
I'm torn about the rating because the facilities are nice and the launch service speedy, but the harbor itself is horribly exposed. Others mention concerns with winds/waves from the south, but we somehow managed to roll all night despite northeasterly winds.

On a mooring for one night. Very accommodating. Enjoyed the view of the Norwalk Islands.

This is the second time we have stayed at Norwalk YC. We returned because we had such a great visit the first time. Even though this is no longer the "high season", they still had plenty of helpful staff. We got water at their dock - super easy. The NYC staff were again very friendly and responsive during the Dockwa reservation process. We extended our stay to 2 nights. The NYC facilities are very nice. Launch service was great - still running to 9 PM. The wind was very strong the second night (gusts to 30 kt) - out of the South and the mooring field was very exposed and rolly, but nothing NYC could do about that. We will definitely come back.

Very easy entrance with wide channel from Greens Ledge light. NYC was very cooperative shifting our arrival date. Happy to have a mooring at outside of field, so we didn'y have to search around. Harbor was quiet and peaceful. Launch service appeared to be very well-managed on a busy holiday weekend -- although we did not go ashore, so we can't comment on shore-side facilities.

Fabulous stay at NYC! The launch staff were really helpful, great harbor for swimming and enjoying the water, and close to two great dining areas - SoNo and Rowayton. One of our new favorites spots. The harbor does get a bit rocky during busy holiday days - but it is worth it!

Nice harbor and facility. No restaurant or bar within easy walk, but friendly launch driver offered to drop me in Rowayton side of harbor

We arrived very late, so prior to arrival over the phone we got very good directions hot to find our mooring. Launching service was also very prompt and smooth.

The Club was extremely welcoming and helpful. The Club manager greeted us warmly and briefed us on Club events and invited us to enjoy their 125 anniversary event. The launch service an it’s crew were professional and fun.
A very pleasant stay. We will be back!

Great little club that is clean, neat, and active on all important fronts. No food service. I come here yearly.
