Welcome to Our Visitors
Salem Harbor is a beautiful and historic port. In the 18th century, trade ships to China and and the West Indies set sail from our shores (as reflected in our city motto, "to the farthest port of the rich East"). Salem is home to treasures such as the Peabody Essex Museum, the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, and the replica ships Friendship and Fame. Summer brings yacht races (including our own PHRF Bowditch Race on August 9,, 2008), the Salem Maritime Festival - and, on July 4th we enjoy a 3-dimensional show of fireworks in our harbor from several neighboring cities (Marblehead, Beverly, and Manchester). Oh, and the fishing is pretty good, too. Visit Salem for a day trip or more ... but please note that Salem Harbor has limited public docks.
PCYC, a private yacht club, is a member of Mass Bay (MBYCA) and welcomes guests of reciprocal yacht clubs. Please call our Dockmaster, Keith Nadeau, on the Club phone 978-744-9722 to make reservations to stay with us.
Fees
Overnight guest charge for a slip is $1.00/foot, payable by cash or check only. MBYCA members must show ID for reciprocal rate.
