Had a great night at NYC. Staff was amazing. Eduardo was super accommodating and even got us back to our boat after hours! Will be back.

We had planned on staying two nights because we have family that live around the corner on Bell island, but was taken back by the 70.00 mooring fee, it communicates to us that they do not really want transient boaters. I would understand at a destination

Fantastic! Friendly, accommodating and very helpful. We loved shuttling back and forth between Rowayton and Wilson Point.

Nice club. Moorings we’re a bit exposed. We had a pretty bumpy night as a significant storm passed over.

A very family-oriented Yacht Club with a beautiful Clubhouse. Excellent launch staff that makes sure you're all setup with clean pendant from the mooring ball.
No bar, and on our visit the staff could not sell ice or water to non-members. The mooring field could be a little rocky due to the powerboat traffic.
Large, extremely clean showers are available. Grills are available for visiting yachtsmen. The membership made everyone feel very welcomed.
Launch service offered to a neighboring Rowayton YC where you can find some very nice local restaurants withing 0.5 to 0.8 miles.

Friendly, and super attentive. Fair pricing. They greeted us at the field entrance with their launch boat and showed us to our mooring. Gorgeous setting and peaceful stay. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic! Great job by all the staff to get us in and out. They don’t answer the phone so 68 is the best boat

Nice club with great facilities....moorings only
by Joe O. - Verified user on Sep 22, 2022
Beautiful spot, friendly people. Great restaurants nearby. Don't pass by! Moorings are wonderful, the launch service is speedy. Great spot. We were here for one night, ended up loving it and staying three.

They do everything right, from sending a launch out to help us find our mooring ball, to the friendliness and responsiveness of the launch drivers, to the great facilities and the friendliness of the members. Best shower I’ve had in a while. They were also great in helping us find someone to repair our dinghy outboard, and local restaurant recommendations. We stayed here an extra day because we enjoyed the experience.

The launch drivers couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating!
Lovely spot to stay - reasonably priced.

Wonderfully managed with delightful tender operators.
by Mitchell H. - Verified user on Jun 04, 2022
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.

Great place. Excellent service. Definitely coming back

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.
