We loved it. Stayed again for a week. We enjoy the easy commute to Manhattan, safe peaceful community &mooring, and friendly members of the club.

I rarely give a bad review but I feel that I need to provide some feedback on our experience. When we arrived the mooring we were assigned was occupied. After receiving another mooring assignment, we found that later in the day when the wind picked up our mooring was moving and we were touching the mooring behind us. Luckily we were close to our home port and we decided to depart and not stay the night. Also, they claimed to have a buffet dinner that day, but when the four of us went to eat we found that it looked like the leftovers from their lunch buffet. Not a good experience.
Marina Response:
Hi Serge;
We apologize for any inconvenience during your stay. Our launch operator was on his way to pull the mooring ball further north when you had left. As for the buffet I will send your feedback to our House Committee and Steward. Thank you.by Ronsld Z. - Verified user on Jun 22, 2025
Stayed on mooting ball. Would not stay again due to rocking and rolling with minimal wind. Boats drive thru like its highway. Dock master was helpful. So it’s the location. The staff was good

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We made a last minute decision to stay with you towards the end of our 13 hour passage. We were able to pick up a mooring for the night at 6pm. It was perfect.

City Island Yacht Club is a great club, the members are so welcoming. We wished we were able to stay for more than one night. Men's bathrooms have just been renovated to a high standard and women's bathrooms are great. Bar and food at the club are top notch. Would highly recommend

We were just stopping for one night and had a mooring ball. The launch driver was very responsive. There were some nice amenities in town within walking distance. We ate at the Black Whale which we enjoyed.

Great little yacht club with convenient access to the city via one easy bus and a ride on the 6 train.

Great hospitality. Nice club. Excellent launch service. Island has a few good restaurants, great market, some eclectic shops, nautical museum, and great diner for breakfast/lunch. This is our second visit. We’ll happily come again.

Launch service is good and dependable, burgers & fries in the clubhouse are excellent, and nice shops, food, and provisions can be found nearby (you need to walk a number of blocks).
All the people we encountered were very nice and helpful.

Amazing! The location is perfect with plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Beautiful view of the city from the mooring . Launch service and a space for your dinghy at the dock was great. I also appreciate how quickly they confirm your reservation. I had to add a day unexpectedly and an additional day was confirmed right away on the app. We will definitely be coming back

Friendly people ,great food wed,fri,sat,&sun but many walkable restaurants and the history of boat building displayed along the way.Great stop transiting the east river.Sammies south on the right is worth the stop for fish ,its a Bronx experience.

Nice club with friendly staff. Very convenient for East River passage. Dockmaster Joe very helpful. Dined on the front porch last night and was good.
by William R. - Verified user on Jul 18, 2024
This is always a great stopping place to stay the night before traversing the East River. The Launch Service is top notch and there's plenty of amenities within close walking distance. We stop here a few times every year. I only wish their Club Bar was opened more often.

Super friendly staff and launch captains. Parking for our rental car. Trash dumpsters ashore, water fill on the docks. Nice quiet town with tons of sailing history. Another spot we will be back to!
by Brian S. - Verified user on Jul 14, 2024
Great employees, easy mooring field to navigate. Learned how strong the mooring balls were, as sustained winds of 25-35 knots whipped through for about 18 hours, turning the field into a rollicking wave pool.
