Guest moorings are available on a first-come-first-served basis for Reciprocal Clubs or by prior reservation for Club Cruises. No telephone or email reservations are accepted.
PLEASE do not call the Club to inquire about future reservations or if they are expected to be full. Since reservations are not taken, there is no way to know what the future mooring availability will be.

Each mooring is $70.00 per night, and includes launch service, take-out dining access, and shower facilities. You must fly your burgee during your visit to the WHYC. Check out time is 9:00 am.

Rafting of two boats on the outer transient mooring may be allowed, but please check with our Launch Office first. The rate is $70.00 per night for each boat rafted.
