Delightful. Friendly yacht club, beautiful harbor and excellent fireworks.

Love Boothbay Harbor Yacht club. Friendly and helpful. Unfortunately this year the launch driver drove the launch rub rails (instead of the fenders) into the side of our boat twice, leaving two 6” marks on the side of our boat.

Perfect. Great anchorage, lovely launch driver. Thank you!

Fantastic place, just watch for the tightness of the mooring field vis a vis your boat size. Great accommodations at the club and very friendly folks.

Lovely quiet spot across from the harbor from the higher traffic areas. Facilities were decent, didn’t use much beyond bathrooms though. Picked up a ball at the very east end of the field, which was a bit more exposed to south winds / waves but weather was good. At 44’ overall on a mooring that supported up to 50’, we bumped the ball behind us that wasn’t loaded. No big deal and I assume with a boat on it, it wouldn’t happen. Definitely need to use the mooring line directly or a VERY short bridle setup. We would normally use our mantus setup shortened up, but that would be much too long. Overall, recommended as an alternative to some of the moorings in the higher traffic side of things.

The staff could not be more welcoming or helpful, which is why we continue to stay with BHYC when there are other options in Boothbay. Dinner at the club was also excellent. Everyone from the launch drive to the bartender aimed to please.

The launch operator was very helpful and prompt on directing us to our mooring and making sure that we are settled. The clubhouse, although closed on a Monday night seemed very welcoming and we had a nice chat with some members. We look forward to returning!

The Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club deserves an outstanding rating. The club members are friendly; the setting is gorgeous; the very patrician launch man Tim showed us to the mooring and gave us information about the club. We had a very tasty meal and the club included us in the bimonthly educational lecture. We will definitely try to stay a night here next year.

BBHYC is a very welcoming place. It’s so kind of them to provide access to their facilities and launch. Showers always a great part of the stay.

by Doug G. - Verified user on Jul 14, 2025

Solid moorings. Arrived in heavy fog and Tim came out in the launch to lead us to our mooring. Club has a bar, laundry, clean showers and serves meals most days. Will be back

Great club! Stewards were helpful, really enjoyed our stay. Everything about the club was shipshape and very festive for 4th of July!

by Ian G. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2025

Always one of our favorite stops. Location is great and BBHYC staff and members could not be more pleasant.

We had foolishly planned to stay at a marina downtown because our friends had booked there. Unfortunately, the facility did not save us the promised mooring we had reserved a few days earlier and they would not accommodate our vessel. On 5 minutes notice steward Tim at BHYC found us a mooring, 5 pm, July 4th! He was amazing, as he came out and escorted us right in. The club was clean, great staff and a good secure mooring. We won't make the mistake of going downtown again!
