Report Review
Our stay at the Pelican Yacht Club was pleasant, if a little stressful. We carry an 8' draft, and while the staff was confident that we could use the marina, it turned out to be something of a logistical challenge.
The PYC has limited protection from northerlies, especially on Pier I, and, arriving after hours, we docked in the wrong slip. While we were good there for several days, we received notice that the owner of that slip was returning, and we would need to move. We attempted to move to our original assigned slip only to discover that there just wasn't 8' of water in it at low tide. We could NOT get into it. They did find another slip with a hair more water, but we still sat in the mud at dead low tide.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were quite competitive, both for fuel and accommodations. I shower on board, so I can't comment on the bathrooms/shower resources.
There is no laundry on site, but there is a coin laundromat within walking distance. There is also a fairly well-stocked market, but the food there is pricey. There is pizza and a couple of humble eateries nearby, and the club itself has two restaurants on site, both a bar/pub and a more upscale place as well.
Nice place, but not suited for deep draft vessels.
