Mooring balls were in excellent shape and very reasonably priced. Will definitely stay again!!

We arrived with no communication from RCYC that our assigned mooring was not available, we later found out it was given to another boat who had just arrived before us. A phone call or message would go along way! Not an ideal situation after a 10 hr day. We were waked by passing boats often.

Amazing stay! The mooring location was perfect — well positioned, easy to access, and in excellent condition. The tender service was outstanding and always quick to respond, which made getting back and forth incredibly easy.
The club itself is beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Everyone we encountered, from the staff to the members, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. It’s easy to see why this place is so well loved. We truly enjoyed our time here

The Commodore of the Yacht Club, Matt, was very responsive and went above and beyond to help us with a late arrival, assisting to locate a suitable mooring and ensure we were comfortable. An invite to come over to the bar the next evening led to a wonderful night in a very nice facility with very friendly and welcoming members. Definitely planning to return.

Enjoyed our overnight stay at RCYC.
Had great cocktails at bar before going out for dinner nearby. We will certainly be returning next year.

We had a great stay at Richmond. There was a wind advisory for several days and we had a great mooring right in front of the club. It was well protected in the high winds and the shuttle boat was very attentive. Would stay here again.

Marina Response:
Lou, We're sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. The rates at RCYC include launch service and access to our clubhouse, which many guests find adds value to their stay. We’ve also recently uploaded a detailed harbor map to Dockwa to help visitors better understand the mooring field layout. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future.by Anders F. - Verified user on Sep 20, 2025
A newly dredged channel made it possible and safe for our 8ft draft boat to enter. Nice and welcoming staff with a good shuttle service ashore. Mooring balls are limited in size and seems a bit old and worn out. In the bay there are several wrecks, of which one stands on bottom with mast straight up. Reasonable distance to groceries and good public options for transport to NY City.

Excellent harbor, location and mooring. Very quiet night, very calm conditions. RCYC very polite
by Ed M. on Sep 11, 2025
The staff ant RCYC and facilities are a step above. The club house is available to transients and a fully stocked cash bar with very reasonably priced drinks was waiting when we arrived. We will definitely be back.

We discovered Richmond County Yacht Club thanks to friends who had stayed on a transient mooring the year before. It’s generally protected from the wind and waves. The launch service is included and very efficient. The clubhouse, including the showers and restrooms, is very nice: welcoming, clean and nicely designed. Good restaurants are also available within easy walking distance. The yacht club was very accommodating when we asked to stay additional nights to wait out bad weather and equally accommodating when we asked if we could cancel one of the additional nights when we discovered a window of opportunity to leave earlier. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend doing so to others.

Great stop in Great Kills harbour when heading north or south through NYC. Friendly yacht club with great facilities and club house, bar, restaurant etc. excellent launch service.
Harbour entrance channel had a minimum of 15ft depth at HW following the buoyed channel.
Excellent train and ferry service for visiting Manhattan.

The launch operators were very helpful.

On our way through Raritan Bay, we discovered the Richmond County Yacht Club—what a gem! The mooring field was calm and easy to navigate, and booking through Dockwa couldn’t have been simpler. The launch service was prompt, friendly, and made getting ashore effortless. From the moment we arrived, everyone at the club was welcoming and inviting. We were encouraged to relax at the bar, and after meeting a few members, we decided to stay for dinner—so glad we did! The food was great, the facilities were spotless, and the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between laid-back and lively. Plus, the club is just minutes from excellent local restaurants and delis, making it an even better stop for cruising sailors. We’re definitely adding RCYC to our list of go-to stops and look forward to returning soon.

We love staying at Richmond YC! It’s a convenient stop coming and going through the New York area and they are very responsive and friendly. The mooring field is open and easy to access. The launch service is great and drinks in the club are the best deal around. The members are friendly and there are some good restaurant choices within an easy walk. For some reason the pictures of the YC on Dockwa are of the old facility. They should be updated to show the beautiful new clubhouse.

Great place to stop. Tender service is very good. Very friendly club, lovely club house. Regular buses close by to shopping Mall and big Lidl supermarket. Laundry nearby too. Train station approx 20 min walk which takes you to Staten Island Ferry. Very convenient for going into New York.

Very nice quiet anchorage. Yacht club answered our VHF call on 09 immediately and confirmed our ball number which had been sent to us in email. All was very good.
