Facilities
The Club has guest moorings that may be reserved in advance with a small deposit or credit card number phoned to the club 24 hours before arrival. After that, guest moorings are given on a first-come-first-served basis. Visitors should hail the club on Channels 9, 16 or 68 as they approach the harbor. Some moorings can hold a heaver boat than others, and the dock staff will attempt to match the two. We have four moorings of or own and sometimes members make others available. If none is available or suitable, the dock staff can indicate areas of the inner or outer harbor that will be the best for overnight anchoring. There is a facilities fee charge for use of the club by visiting yachts, which is collected by the dock staff at the time of arrival.
The club is located on the eastern shore of Blue Hill Bay Inner Harbor, easily spotted by its long docks and yardarm flagpole. It is about a mile from the village of Blue Hill, and thus walkable; local drivers often pick up walkers. At the right tides, the village is accessible by water. There is a grocery store that can deliver to the club dock for a fee. (Merrill & Hinckley, 374-2821.) The club sells gas and diesel as well as ice, oil and water. It is open most days in July and August from 8 A.M. to 5:45 P.M. Launch service is usually available during those hours, though not always.
Visiting yacht clubs or cruising clubs ought to contact the commodore well in advance to arrange for mooring and (if wanted and available) rental of the clubhouse. The cost of renting the clubhouse for an evening dinner is $350 for clubs, plus cleaning deposit, from which is subtracted the wages of a staff member who must be on the premises during rental. The commodore can suggest local caterers if needed, and kitchen facilities come with the rental.
