We have now stayed here on multiple occasions. It ‘s a lovely spot. The Marina staff are helpful and nice, the bathrooms/showers are clean and air conditioned, short walk to a beach, great spot to paddle or kayak around the corner, the members of the club at the dock are so welcoming! We were invited to a potluck dock party. Fantastic spot. At least once a season we may simply stop here for a few days and enjoy a mini vacation. Highly recommend this spot.

Very nice club. Everyone we met was extremely friendly. Would definitely go back. They had great entertainment on the porch, and a beautiful sunset!

Branford Yacht Club is a great stop, very pretty grounds and the docs were excellent as is the staff. We were only there for an overnight but would’ve stayed longer had time allowed. Thank you, Brantford Yacht Club for your hospitality once again!

We enjoyed our stay at Branford Yacht Club very much! The dock hands were very helpful and the floating docks were in good condition. They have pump out available at the fuel dock and a pump out boat too. The bathrooms are clean and in good condition. We lucked into the Branford fireworks display that went off right in front of our slip! The fuel is reasonably priced too.

First time visit this weekend, and this will be our go-to Marina in the future. Great customer service, very responsive. Easy in and out. Very clean facilities. We didn't visit the bar or eat there, but that looked welcoming as well.

We had a sort, but delightful stay at Branford Yacht Club. The dockmaster steam was extremely helpful. The facilities are beautiful. The restrooms and showers are clean and up to date, the best we’ve seen in the two weeks we’ve been underway. If I pass this way again I’ll be sure to stay at Branford Yacht Club!

First visit to the BYC and we were impressed with the facilities and the friendly crew and members.

found the marina an excellent place to relax and enjoy. The bartender and members we spoke to where very friendly.
An area for improvement would be to mark the slips so they're visible from the water. Both myself and the boat I traveled with pulled into the wrong slip because they were not marked. The boat I traveled with sustained a small gouge when trying to leave the first slip they entered.
Other than that - an excellent place to visit.

Beautiful, friendly spot!

The only thing that was missing was instructions how to get in and out of the club . There is an electronic gate . They were accommodating in letting us in and out but we didn’t know how to handle . Perhaps transients should be given a card or something to operate the gate .Everything else was great !

Absolutely beautiful facility and grounds - possibly the nicest we've used, and friendly service. We needed fuel first and the dock hand came over to help us dock stern-in, not the easiest thing to do with a 44-ft vessel. Shower was also great, spacious and clean. Would definitely stay here again.
