What to Expect as a Visiting Yacht Club
As a member of the Yachting Clubs of America (YCA), Herring Bay Yacht Club (HBYC) enjoys and offers “reciprocity” with other participating YCA clubs. The amenities offered through the Herrington Harbour marinas are second-to-none on the Chesapeake Bay. For visiting YCA Yacht Clubs who contact us in advance, HBYC extends the courtesies & traditions of yacht clubs, including:
- Prior to your visit, contact the HBYC Commodore for information you may need to plan your trip. Coordination for activities you may want to engage in during your stay along with the use of the Marina Clubhouse. Dates and slip arrangements must still be made by you and your club captains through the Herrington Harbour staff.
- Your reservation at the marina will get you access to the Olympic-sized pool, fitness room, 2 beaches with kayaks, sail, and stand-up-board rentals, an onsite restaurant with a full service food and beverage both indoors and out, excellent bathhouses, laundry facilities, and more.
- The Herrington Harbour Marina Resort offers a shuttle between HHS (Herrington Harbour South) and HHN (Herrington Harbour North) which includes transportation to West Marine located on the HHN property.
- On the weekend of your visit, an HBYC Ambassador may be assigned to assist you in getting the most enjoyment from the numerous Herrington Harbor facilities, provide insight on weekend festivities/activities for the marina and nearby communities, as well as assist in your interactions with the HHS/HHN staff for your visit weekend. Arrangements must be made for this service through the HBYC Commodore in advance of your visit to ensure someone is available to assist your group.
- Herrington Harbour South marina owners have afforded HBYC the use of a small Clubhouse for yacht club events. This fenced area with a private building, tent, patio, and grilling facilities may be accessible for entertainment and socialization with HBYC Officers and members during your visit. Again, arrangements must be made in advance with the HBYC Commodore to ensure we are available to both provide access and enjoy your company.
Don’t forget to bring your yacht club burgee! We would be honored to add it to our collection!
