CYC is a truly great yacht club! Clean restrooms, nice facilities, wonderful restaurant with outstanding food. We came as a small group from our yacht club. Everyone at CYC went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very welcome. We'll definitely return!
The employees were friendly and courteous. The facility needs a lot of work. We stayed on their long "T" dock which looks like it can hold 5 boats. Our dock assignment gave us a number but there were no numbers visible when we approached or even on the dock. The chafe protection on the pilings is missing or badly worn. There is no usable internet service. Despite having a signal and trying at several locations no connection could be made. This even occurred at 5:00 in the morning when there would not have been any users. The restrooms are in terrible condition and had run out of toilet paper.
This marina has so many good things about it. The restrooms are clean, the facilities are in excellent shape and downtown Urbanna has many great shops and restaurants. On top of all that, Amy has added nice little touches that are rarely seen in a marina. We'll definitely return!
We scheduled a stop here on our way south. The weather was bad but South Jersey Marina reached out to us and worked with us on a very late arrival. That was very considerate and appreciated. I wish we could have arrived earlier and spent some time in Cape May. The marina has great facilities and is well maintained. The staff is outstanding.
We rented a mooring two nights so far this season on our trip to Maine using Dockwa. I like how the reservation confirmation includes providing a mooring number. It would be a little better if there was a better way of showing where the moorings are located and how to identify them. On our second visit (July 22), I figured mooring TP-3 was located in the Ten Pound mooring area. When arriving in the area, I had to ask another boater which moorings belonged to the city. It turned out that they were orange and all were taken. I called the Harbormaster and received a prompt response. The person on duty was very helpful and courteous. Unfortunately, he had to move another boater who was confused on where his mooring was located. The other boat moved to another mooring field and we were all set, until the next morning. There was a lobster pot located near our assigned mooring. The next morning, with the change in tide, current and wind, our boat drifted over the pot and I could not see it. We caught the line to the pot’s float on our rudder and ended up having to cut the line. The boat was freed but I did not see the float until later. When operating my boat, I take particular care in avoiding lobster pots. They are someone’s livelihood and I respect that. Unfortunately, in this case, the person who place the pot in the middle of a mooring field, did not appear very concerned about respecting other boats. It took some doing to totally free the line from my rudder and I ended up having to dive on my boat. Perhaps it is within the Harbormaster’s authority to ensure that lobster pots are not placed within a mooring field. It is difficult for a boat to avoid them in this situation.
