York River Yacht Haven

Morgan and Preston, GM & AGM, have made a pretty decent team and there have been some noticable improvements this year. The boatyard is no longer operated by YRYH, it is operated by boaters world and I would steer clear of them as they have built themselves a very poor reputation since taking it over. It's true that the restaurant, YROC, has become a big driver of traffic in the marina and they can be a pain for slip holders but that has been a little better this year as well, if they expand again I'm sure I'll need to change this as it will truly be a restaurant with a marina on property but so far so good. The docks are nice floating docks with plenty of room and well maintained.

After many years at YRYH, we made the decision to pick up anchor and move elsewhere. What used to be a marina with a restaurant has become a restaurant with a marina attached. Marina management has made it clear to slipholders who has sway here. The last straw for us is no more DIY in the boatyard. From what I hear, 35 other boats at YRYH left as well. If you are a transient coming for a weekend, you will be fine. But if you are looking for a longer term set up, you may want to consider sailing to another destination.

Located right in Sarah's Creek (Hayes/ Gloucester) offers this convenient gift shop and marine supply store. Easy to access by water or by land this store has all your needs and more. If you need specific marine related items or if you are just killing time waiting for your table at YROC, this store is perfect for everyone. It has a good mixture of clothing, supplies, summer essentials, and necessities. The store is well stocked and has a good selection of items. Some items include: floats, sunscreen, sunglasses, shoes, life vests, dock line, oil, hats, jewelry, koozies, etc. (refer to pictures posted) Leave a review on google or Facebook and get a free small bag of ice.

Busy and well managed Marina. Lots of great benefits to staying here from the nice piers to the bath facilities, pool, ship store and restaurant. Will definitely come again!

Very Nice Marina with lots of Friendly people. They offer some Water Sports Fun Rentals: BOATS, Yes BOATS, Kayaks, and Paddle Boards, etc. Shopping is always fun at their gift Shop, and they offer an excellent Restaurant with two decks on the water. Yacht Haven has a beautiful Swimming Pool, and Outside Grills. You could just live here and never leave.

This place is amazing. A great place to bring your family and make memories. The customer service is top notch!

One of my favorite places to visit. Such friendly staff. They have a restaurant on site, ship store and fuel! One stop shop. Will be back!

Fantastic marina, you won't find one as the same caliber in the area! I've been keeping my boat here for almost 5 years now and haven't considered keeping it anywhere else during the Summer and Fall. Lots of recent changes with the yard, dock repairs, and some new policies in effect. I'm not especially pleased with a couple new policies regarding credit card charges but understand this may be a corporate decision from the top down. Love the pool and staff and the special events they host throughout the year. Keep up the good work as I plan to return every year if you'll have me!!

We go there was a month for lunch. The Fried Oysters are great! The service is also excellent!
