I always enjoy a night or two at CYC. The people are friendly and the restaurant is great. If you are a member of a reciprocal club definitely give it a try

Paul and his crew were most accommodating. We made several friends on the dock. The restaurants were excellent. I can't wait to come back.

Nice docks, Great price, I had no problem with the width of the channel coming in or leaving. Distance to the office and restrooms was quite a hike. The office for the fuel dock which was the first thing when you arrive could not take care of transient dockage. No beach access or pool.
Dockhand was waiting at the fuel dock, he walked us over to the marina office, then returned to help us move the boat from fuel dock to the T dock used for transients. Great place for a night stay.

Noisy during the day. There is shore access but I believe you have to have a military identification.

Wonderful people in this town. You can see the age in the docks but I never felt they were unsafe. Very convenient for reprovisioning.

Clean facilities, No dock hands so it can be tricky getting in a slip if the current is running. Great price.

Buggy in February. Lots of traffic but at least a minimum wake zone. Deeper water than Twin River Marina. Pete’s Pier said they did not have transient slip available.

Great fuel prices but basically self serve, pump first then pay. I called the day before to inquire about a slip. Was told they don’t take reservations. When we arrived they were far more interested in the pontoon rentals coming in. Took talking to 3 people before got someone intelligent. He found a possible slip for us but by then I knew we wouldn’t have enough water at low tide. Moved on to the anchorage near Pete’s Pier.

Best fuel price for a hundred miles. Well worth the short detour off the ICW.
