Type: Harbour

Member yacht club on Salem Harbour in Massachusetts, at Salem Willows Park, with around 60 berths for boats up to 40 feet.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

The club sits off Fort Avenue on the north side of Salem Harbour, with open water to seaward and the Beverly shoreline to the west. Approach is straightforward in daylight from the main harbour channel. Jubilee Yacht Club lies 0.4 miles west.

Practical

Berths carry water and shore power. There is a fuel berth, a pump-out service and a clubhouse for members. Transient berths are handled through Dockwa. The historic Salem Willows amusement park and food stands sit beside the club.

History

The club was incorporated in 1933 to support yachting on Salem Harbour. Salem Willows Park itself dates from 1858, named after the white willows planted there as a shaded walk for patients of a nearby smallpox hospital.
