Great place with a lively birding community and a world class beach, right of the boat. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful location right at Wingarsheek beach and nice staff. There is boat traffic on the Annisquam river but it did not bother me.

Fantastic the food was delicious too

by James S. - Verified user on Jul 30, 2025
Pretty spot and a wonderful nostalgic clubhouse spoiled by hordes of loud day trippers on the beach and moorings effectively IN the channel filled 25/7 with all boats disregarding the no wake zone. Not much sleep in that context!

Great Staff and awesome location.

It’s a very welcoming and friendly yacht club in a beautiful harbor. Visitors are welcome in the club restaurant, which serves terrific food on a terrace overlooking the river. Toilets and showers are spacious and deluxe. A convenient stop before or after transiting the Annisquam River. Wingaersheek Beach is right across from the club for those who have a dinghy or small boat.

Mooring accommodations were just what we needed. Launch drivers were very helpful and personable. We were able to grab a glass of wine at the AYC bar and watch the sunset. All a glorious stay.

Great location. Friendly staff. Had dinner at club restaurant. Used club launch. Took dinghy over to Wingerscheek beach.

by James F. - Verified user on Aug 04, 2024
The yacht club was very nice. The people,location and mooring was great. The beach across the river was beautiful.

by John F. - Verified user on Jul 07, 2024
Beautiful area to moor, very nice and proper clubhouse with helpful staff and launch drivers. Tricky currents and sometimes opposing winds in mooring field, which is in a busy channel. Shorter than usual mooring pendants require rigging up mooring bridles. Not a problem, just be aware. Amazing beach borders mooring field.

by Jeffrey T. - Verified user on Jul 04, 2024
Great club, nice people, beautiful place...entrance was a little tight. Would like to come back.

by Gregg B. - Verified user on Jun 20, 2024
Very relaxed, friendly staff. They let me tie up at the dock for a few hours for emergency engine repair, then got me a mooring when it got late. Thanks!

Amazing stay at a fantastic location. Great launch service.
