Approach

Use a NOAA chart 13270. Well-marked Hingham Bay has few obstructions. To enter the Outer and Inner Harbor, approach from the north to the Green/Red "HH" Buoy and continue down the marked channel to the Outer Harbor. Hingham Yacht Club will be on your right. To enter the Inner Harbor, where we have moorings, a marina, a boat ramp, shops, and restaurants, continue in the marked channel between Langlee and Sarah Islands on the port side. The channel will wind to the starboard side. Stay in the channel to prevent grounding at mid-low tide. When entering the Inner Harbor mooring basin, the navigational aids will end, but the fairway continues straight between the moored boats. The water depth is 6 feet at low tide in the mooring basin.

Minimum Approach Depth:12.0 Feet

Awesome day,beautiful place. Just wish we knew that the mooring was doubled up with another boat. It would have prevented a awkward moment with the other boat.
