Anchorages & Moorings:
AYC unfortunately does not have guest mooring. The town of York has a few transient moorings, which are assigned and rented by the harbormaster (Ch. 09, 16). They have depths at low of ~9 feet and can accommodate boats up to 50 feet.
If you can't reach the harbormaster, York Harbor Marine (207-363-3602) on Harris Island or Donnell's Marine (207-363-4308) to the north may be able to help.

From the Water:
York Harbor can be entered at all tides, but the sharp turn at nun “8” can be tricky during the maximum flood. If possible, plan to enter at slack water or against the ebb.
Find the lighted red-and-white bell “YH” off York Harbor (43° 07.75’N 070° 37.05’W) and then head halfway between the buoys. Stage Neck is a peninsula lined with condominiums running from northeast to southwest. Aim for Stage Neck Light (Fl 4s 10M), a red, triangular shape on a small, white box with a light on top. Once past Harris Island ledge, the harbor is divided by Bragdon Island into North Basin and South Basin. You will round the mouth of the South Basin and enter the harbor.
