Nice club. We were not able to go to the bar as the smoke from Canada pretty much shut down activitiesvthe nights we were there. The launch service was great with Capt Peter. The bathrooms and showers were updated. A shirt walk to City Islands assorted restaurants. A good grocery was about 3/4 Mike up the road.
Nobody was there. No responses to email, phone calls or hailing on 72. I think it would be fair to refund the fee I paid.
All were the nicest people I have ever met at any marina. We went off season and we’re the only boat that needed launch service. Brett the commodore took us to an urgent clinic after we insisted we could take an Uber. Why anchor out when you can have launch service, go ashore and meet great people for $40? Great place to hold over for the ride though NY

Great stop for an overnight. Easy access tenders run till 10 pm nice little town short walk to get provisions or go out to dinner
I loved this place. I only stayed one night, but would have liked to stay longer. Both launch drivers were great. One even let me tag along on a trip to the chandlery. I will be back. Oh yeah, west winds are difficult here.
The service at the club was really good. The amenities are minimal but Dave, the harbor master is very helpful. He guided us in and helped us with any needs. The problem is not the Yacht Club but rather the location. Be warned. It can be very noisy at night (Dave warned us and he was right). Motor boats buzz around the harbor blasting music, even on weeknights. I can't imagine what it would be like on the weekend. Once the music stopped (around 11), we enjoyed the night.

Our cruising club thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were headed to New York City, via Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City. We had 13 boats in our fleet at that time. Some of us took a tour of the City Island Maritime Museum which was very special. We ate at the Johney's Reef which was a short walk from CIYC. We happened to meet the Commodore who was very informative and recommended how to traverse the East River and Hell's Gate that were very helpful. We would love to visit this yacht club again!
Lovely place to stay. Great launch driver and the Commodore was very welcoming and shared some good information with us. Nice bar, clean bathrooms and showers.
Great location to stop before entering or after exiting the East River. We enjoyed the launch service and welcoming staff. The clubhouse is cute, but a little outdated. The men's bathroom is in the basement, which has a very low ceiling. The women's bathroom requires walking up 2 flights of stairs. We loved walking around City Island and had an incredible dinner at the Black Whale. If we ever come back through NYC, we will definitely moor here again.

It was GREAT! We were on a mooring, and enjoyed the friendly treatment of Dave, the launch captain. He went out of his way to help us. Welcomed us to The Bronx! And made great recommendations for dinner! We had lovely views at night too!
Great location, easy access to New York City and the airports. Cute little town with lots of options for dining and sightseeing. Marina staff and members were great. Only downside was no access to Wi-Fi in the Mooring field.
Wet friendly, low key club with moorings and free tender service. Perfect location to stage a trip to NYC. City island was surprisingly quaint and pleasant.

Left our 45’ Jeanneau and tender for 10 days on a mooring ball while we travelled back home in prep for our next leg. Staff suggested tender be stored at small dock which is under security cameras. No problems at all. Uber access was quick and easy to airport and rental cars. Dock staff and everyone we met were friendly and professional. Highly recommended if you need a stop before timing currents at Hells gate or just sailing the area.
I keep my boat at a CIYC every summer. The club is fantastic, and the people are great. It is perfect mooring spot -- protected and convenient. It's the gateway to the Long Island Sound, and in the other direction a good place to wait for the right current through Hell Gate. Highly recommended!!!!
The Bathrooms/showers are old but kept clean. The staff is excellent as well as the resteraunt. City Island is a very quaint, friendly town with lots of ship building history.

This truly is a hidden jewel. Excellent launch service and very accommodating to some special request we had during our stay. Great view of Manhattan skyline in the distance and beautiful sunsets. Looking forward to our return in the fall!
Great location and great people! Enjoyed it very much. Nice walk in town with laundry, great coffee shop and fun restaurants. Who new that The Bronx had great !
They sent a launch out to help us to find our mooring. The water taxi was quick and friendly. Dinner in the restaurant was very good. We asked for advice on transitting Hell Gate and they found a cruising group we could join for the transit. Outstanding!

A bit bumpy with a strong SW breeze but nice people. Would stay again. Great location if you are planning a run through Hell Gate the next day.
Good value, funky facility, great staff. By the way, they have a restaurant! Unfortunately we didn't find out until after standing in an extremely long line with extremely mediocre food, but we will try the YC next time. Yes, there will be a next time.
Gave us a mooring in close, away from “the edge”. Convenient to main road in City Island, bus stops, shops and restaurants.The Newport Yacht Club is one of a myriad of attractions in downtown Newport that make Newport one of the finest yachting centers and destination resorts in America. The Club is located in the heart of the harbor, and surrounded by restaurants, shops, marine facilities and services, historic sites, entertainment venues, sporting events and other features that attract thousands of visitors to Newport all year around.
Cue The Confetti
Newport Yacht Club is located in the northeast corner of Newport Harbor where our members, families, and guests enjoy one of the finest yachting facilities New England has to offer.
Good safe docks within walking distance of all the entertainment in town and right next to the dock for the harbor water taxi. It would have been nice if they gave us the code to the back door to be able to use the bathroom in the morning before they open the clubhouse house though
Cleanest Heads of any YC or Marina, we’ve ever stayed at. Folks are friendly and accommodating. 5 Stars Recommend Newport YC to anyone.

This is always a good stop for me. Everyone is helpful and my docking skills have improved greatly since the last review a few years ago!! The showers are clean and lovely. I like access to food on site so I didn't have to go wandering after racing the boat that day.
The setting was lovely, the dockhand was extremely congenial and helpful, and Newport Yacht Club was extremely accommodating with our late booking.
What a great weekend! Came in for the Seafood Festival in rough conditions but once docked, we benefited from the well protected marina. The NYC staff was very friendly and helpful. Greg the dock steward went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. The ability to use the (very clean) facilities and bar/restaurant was a big plus.
Keppel Bay Sailing Club Convention And Sporting Hub
The dock steward was superb. It was blowing 20 knots when we arrived. He directed us to the correct slip where we nested against dock instead of being blown into neighboring vessel. He then helped secure lines in the perfect order. Beautiful little club. Rev Richard DenUyl
