Winter Harbor Yacht Club

The highlight here is the service. As we approached our mooring the staff came out in the launch to escort us to the mooring. Launch service is included in the mooring fee, and the launch was prompt and courteous. I did not give a 5 star rating due to the fact that the facilities are only open for limited hours, and there is only one shower and toilet per gender. Also, the dinghy dock was completely full, leaving no room for visitors. Still, this is a charming, historic yacht club and we enjoyed our stay.

Very pleasant staff, nice moorings, great launch service.

Beautiful secluded Harbor, Historic 1891 building. Friendly members, Courteous staff.

Excellent stay! Great people

Beautiful clubhouse and facilities. The Harbour staff were very helpful and accommodating! A definite stop next year! Thank you

Great launch service by Nathan, very clean facilities and beautiful club house.

Jim and the staff were very accommodating to us. We needed help bringing our e-bikes to explore town and Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Peninsula and they accommodated that expeditiously. Comfortable and inviting clubhouse. Unfortunately lunch was not available but plenty of options in town. We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful place, the people were very nice, friendly and helpful.

Jim, Nathan and Audry were great to us, just as in the past. It is a very nice marina run well by Jim and Nathan. We hated to leave!

Great spot in a beautiful and quiet harbor. Launch service available, but only to 6pm, so you really need your dink. Great cafe in town called The Gallery.. Pretty clubhouse.

Jim and Nathan do a great job running the waterfront. The club’s floating dock and moorings are well maintained. Great facility great staff

Friendly staff,comfortable mooring, nice walk into town

Fantastic Staff and great historic Yacht Club. Truly a privilege to stay here. Winter Harbor is a great town too. It's about a mile from the YC to town, so be prepared to walk or ride (no other options I'm aware of). Great golf course there too and the pool (under reno on our trip) looks amazing.

Courteous responsive personnel and a wonderful facility

Wonderful location great welcome and excellent lunch at the Yacht Club

Jim the launch driver and waterfront manager is top notch!

Second stay this week and it was great! Staff is super helpful and the facilities are perfect. Welcoming to visitors and a spectacular location. We’ll be back again and again 😃⛵️

So nice. Great folks.

Great place! Nice people, quiet mooring, convenient to town. And a bonus swimming pool! We will return!

Our family had such a great day at the Winter Harbor Yacht Club! We received excellent service at the dock unloading our small children and all of their stuff for a day at the pool, including a stroller for a walk to downtown Winter Harbor. Rob was super helpful showing me how to tie up to the mooring. Jim picked us up in a tender and took us back to the mooring at the end of the day. The ride over and back from MDI was gorgeous. It couldn’t have been more perfect! We hope to make this trip every summer and maybe stay overnight next time!

Club facilities, staff, small town and Bean bus access wonderful. Can be a little rolling at slack tides

Great, thanks very much

Beautiful club, launch, docks, and setting. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and professional. Hope to visit again.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful spot. Short 1mi walk to town and the Island Explorer bus.

Gorgeous Harbor. Super easy to take the launch to the club with a great lunch spot and pool. Short walk or bike to town, and can take Acadia Shuttle to amazing trails. Bike rentals right in town also. A few little restaurants. Really old school, quaint club.

Wonderful moorings. Lunch at snack bar was terrific and dock master very welcoming. Have stayed before and hope to make this a yearly destination

Easy, beautiful harbor and town.

Lovely facility, great lunch and very welcoming staff

We were warmly welcomed — for our day trip to Winter harbor. They arranged lunch reservations for our party of 6 as well as scheduled the launch service to pick us up. The food was really good and had lots of variety. They were willing to customize any way that they could to meet our needs. The yacht club seemed to be a very friendly and offered lots of activities for the whole family. Not fancy, but definitely was welcoming and accommodating. Definitely met the needs of the community. Reubens, Lobster BLT and Blueberry pie as well as the delicious cookies were hits with our group.

This is a very responsive and welcoming place. It’s a nice respite from the hustle of MDI. Jim was very thoughtful trying to accommodate us when they were full. Tender driver Sam came by and could not have been more polite and friendly. Thank you for running a great operation with labor in short supply.

Nice setting and facility. Very friendly.

Gorgeous views, always an eagle or two. Facilities are rustic and quite charming. Dock crew is always friendly and helpful. Had delicious sandwiches from the walk up window. Probably won't do that again though. We expected it to be a tad pricey, did not expect an automatic 20% gratuity for a take-out and that included the self-serve beer.

It was a lovely stay, we were directed to our mooring by a courteous launch driver. We enjoyed a lovely lunch followed by a walk over the trail with great views. It is be of our favorite spots!!

Ethan and Rob on the dock and with the launch were terrific. Polite, helpful, and available. And the food delivered was delicious.

WHYC is an absolutely beautiful old club. The staff is friendly and attentive and the members are welcoming. We’ll be back next year.
