BHY was everything you would expect a traditional yacht club to be. Launch service was prompt, the dining room served a delicious meal, club personnel were helpful and members were cordial to visitors. We enjoyed our stay there.

We enjoyed our two night stay on a mooring at the BHYC. The launch came out to greet us. All of the launch drivers were friendly, helpful and informative. We ate both dinners in the clubhouse. There was plenty of choice and everything we had was delicious. The manager and staff were friendly, professional and made us feel very welcome. The showers, restrooms and laundry were very clean. We highly recommend a stay here!

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.

Peter the dock master could not have been any accommodating and gracious. The dock was a bit old but the cleats were well secured.
The bathrooms/showers could use a major freshening up. Including the removal of the coin operated showers.

It was fantastic. Tim was the most accommodating dockmaster we have ever met. We had a great stay. Thanks

Great service in a very friendly yacht club. We rented a mooring, went ashore for showers and a late afternoon drink at the bar, and found everyone without fail to be personable and chatty. Lovely place to stay.

Very friendly and helpful team at the club. Good moorings for bigger boats - up to 60 ft - and not as cramped as many mooring fields are; lots of swing room on the bigger balls. Quieter than the East side of the harbour with far less passing traffic and tour boats, and town still only a 5 -10 minute dinghy ride away. Only minor criticism is that the balls are numbered with quite small tags - numbers are impossible to see unless you are on top of the ball. Call and ask for directions to your allocated ball, or for the yacht club launch to guide you to it (which they did for us when they saw us wandering around looking lost!). Would definitely come back.

The Club did a great job. The fact the launch driver came out to meet us, without being asked was a nice treat

Had lunch upon arrival - quite nice. All guest moorings are very exposed, with lots of roll on S, SE , W WINDS. Not good.

Friendly. Excellent food and conversation!
by Thomas D. - Verified user on Sep 16, 2023
Very friendly staff, and the club members were also friendly and inviting. Facilities include a bathroom, a nice dock to tie up to if desired, a tender with very responsive drivers, and parking for your car, if needed.
We were there for sailing lessons. Great overall experience.

A nice welcoming yacht club
by Ken K. - Verified user on Aug 29, 2023
We didn't partake of any amenities but the mooring did a fine job of keeping our boat in place. Rodney, the launch driver, was terrific. He made sure we knew where to tie up our dinghy and informed us of all the intricacies of the club. We'd go back again.

Nice as always. Great staff. All friendly and helpful
