What a great place! Such friendly staff - and the launch was always speedy! Showers were great and the dinner we had was amazing! Well worth it! Nice to be a bit farther away from downtown to get some needed rest!

Excellent experience! We learned midday that our original destination had closed their dining facilities. A quick check on Dockwas and BHYC could not only accommodate us but two additional cruising boats with us. Tim, the launch and dock guy was fantastic. Showed us moorings, provided a welcome packet, and had the best attitude on a busy Saturday. Also, we had a great dinner in the BHYC Dining Room. Thank you.

We loved Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club. The folks are friendly and helpful, the bathrooms and showers are clean and pleasant, and the launch is quick to respond. Town is a short dinghy ride away and the price of a mooring ball is fair! We enjoyed our stay very much!

Friendly, helpful staff in a beautiful protected area. The launch is available for pickup from your boat, facilities for use are very clean, laundry available for a small fee. All our meals at the restaurant were delicious and reasonably priced. People recognized us as visitors and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. A dinghy trip to Boothbay town is only 5 minute away.

Definitely recommend BHYC as a place to stay. Good mooring facilities and super nice folks. Very welcoming. Convenient launch service and very good food at the yacht club restaurant. It’s a short dinghy ride over to the town dock.

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!

Nice folks, beautiful facility

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.

We have guest moorings available - up to 4,500 lbs. Mooring fees are $50 per night for vessels up to 55 feet. Water and electricity are available at the dock. The dockside depth is 14 feet at low tide. We're a short dinghy ride into town, or a 1.3-mile walk. Our club stewards provide launch service from the Club's docks during the season, generally from 0900 hrs. to sunset (more limited hours early and late season). Visitors have access to the Club's dining room and bar, wi-fi network, showers, coin-operated laundry, and on-site post office.
