About


  • 2024 SEASON TRANSIENT AVAILABILITY VERY LIMITED due to numerous negative low tides and the need to move AYC members into our transient slips. PLEASE NOTE: for the rest of the 2024 season we will only be able to confirm reservation and waitlist requests about 24 hours in advance. Apologies for any inconvenience.

AYC accepts transient requests on Dockwa as "last minute" option to check for 1 night stays Friday and Saturday or multiple night stays Sunday to Thursday nights. Due to limited space for AYC members at our docks this season we are not able to confirm transient reservations further in advance,

Daytime (hourly) transient slips sometimes available - please call 207-967-3060 or reach us on VHF Channel #9 on the day of your request to confirm availability. Rates are $10/hour for boats up to 30' and $20/hour for boats 30' to 60' (maximum beam is 15').

Our docks and slips are home to approximately 50 member boats we occasionally have 1 or 2 transient slips available for boaters visiting Kennebunkport. Transient guests have access to our clubhouse, the Ropewalk.

Dock Square is a 5 minute walk with dozens of shops, restaurants, and a well stocked store with provisions and beverages. We have ice available onsite as well as wireless access at the Ropewalk. Transient boaters are welcome to use club amenities, including bathrooms with a shower, a deck with seating and BBQ grills. Guests must observe the same dock rules as our members, including quiet hours, no loud music, no swimming off the docks, shirts and shoes required, and generally no activities that would disturb others on the docks.

Founded in 1957, the AYC is a working club based on volunteer activity and all members are encouraged to participate. Our mission is the enjoyment of boating, waterfront activities, and social events with fellow members in an informal setting.

Approach


Our face dock is right off the main channel. Transients on the face dock are on the downriver side. There is generally deeper water and room for turning around either just downriver from the face dock or just up river (or the basin before the bridge). High tide is obviously best for arrivals and departures as depths in the river fluctuate quite a bit outside the navigation channel. The most recent depth measurement in 2023 reads just over 4' off the downriver side of the face dock at mean low tide. Shoulder season through June 7th: Stewards available Sat/Sun 8am-6pm.

We received an extremely friendly and greeting and help with our lines upon arrival. Good location, within a short walk of all the downtown attractions. We were put on a face dock, which was easy and convenient. They do have 30 and 50 amp electrical hookups, although it's not indicated in the description. The clubhouse has restrooms and showers, which are closed after hours but accessible with a combination.

Sept 8, 2022. Our second stay this summer as we enjoyed the first one so well. Thanks again. August, 2022. Quiet, small, friendly and clean. Perfect for our nights stay. Hope to see you on our return. Thank you.

Accommodations were fine; they can only take two boats at most.
