Boat Club in Sag Harbor
In Sag Harbor, boaters on Mill Creek and Peconic Bay want water access without the work of ownership. That's the whole idea behind a boat club. It's why Yacht Hampton Boating Club & Marina built two different membership paths instead of one. Our cove marina sits on Mill Creek in Noyac, a site that's been a marina since 1953 and became the home base of the Yacht Hampton fleet and FleetShare Boat Club program after the Yacht Hampton group took it over in 2023. This page covers both boat club options we offer: Boating Club Membership and Fleet Share Boat Club Membership. Read both sections below, then reach out and we'll help you figure out which one fits how you want to spend your time on the water. The short version: one keeps you close to home on Mill Creek, the other opens up a bigger rotating fleet. Contact us to ask which membership fits your boating plans.
Boating Club Membership Gives You Access to Boats at Mill Creek
You want to be on the water most weekends. But you don't want to think about winter storage, engine trouble, or where the boat sits when you're not using it. That's the problem Boating Club Membership solves, plain and simple. It's our single-location model, built around the boats we keep here at our Mill Creek marina in Noyac.
For a lot of members, this is what "boat club" means in their head. You join, you book a boat, you go out on Peconic Bay or wherever the day takes you - and you hand the keys back when you're done. No haul-outs to schedule. No maintenance calls. No off-season storage puzzle to solve every October.
What comes with it, generally speaking:
- Access to the boats based at our Mill Creek marina
- A reservation process for booking time on the water
- Boats kept and serviced right here at the marina
- One home base, so you always know where you're launching from
If you like the idea of a home port and boats you get to know, this is the simpler path of the two.

Fleet Share Boat Club Membership Opens Up a Larger Boat Fleet
What if one marina's worth of boats isn't quite enough for you? That's the question Fleet Share Boat Club Membership answers. Standard Boating Club Membership keeps you tied to the boats docked here at Mill Creek. FleetShare gives you shared access to a bigger, rotating fleet - the branded program that gives Yacht Hampton its name.
Here's the real difference. Standard membership is access to boats here. FleetShare is shared access to more boats, more variety, across the program. Some members want a quiet morning cruise one week and a full boat for the whole family the next. FleetShare tends to fit that pattern better, - people who like switching things up rarely go back to one boat.
A few things members ask about most:
- How fleet availability works across the program
- What kinds of boats are typically in rotation
- How booking differs from the standard club model
We're also the New York distributor for Rand and Vision Marine electric boats, so the fleet reflects some of that range (quiet, clean, and a little different from the usual gas-powered lineup). If you want boating without the ownership hassle, and you like having options, this is worth a real conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Where is Yacht Hampton Boating Club & Marina located?
Our marina sits on Mill Creek in Noyac, just outside Sag Harbor. The site has been a working marina since 1953, so you're launching from a spot with real history on the water. Both our membership options are based here, with easy access out to Peconic Bay. Reach out and we'll walk you through directions and parking before your first visit.
-
What should I expect on my first visit to the marina?
You'll meet our team, see the boats, and talk through which membership fits how you want to use the water. We'll show you the Mill Creek dock setup and explain the reservation process. No pressure to decide on the spot. Most people leave with a clear sense of whether Boating Club or FleetShare suits them better.
-
What's the difference between Boating Club Membership and Fleet Share Membership?
Boating Club Membership keeps you close to home, with access to boats docked at our Mill Creek marina in Noyac. Fleet Share Membership opens up a larger, rotating fleet across the whole Yacht Hampton program. If you like one home base and knowing your boats, pick Boating Club. If you like variety and switching boat types, FleetShare fits better.
-
How do I choose which boat club membership is right for me?
Think about how you want to spend your time on the water. If quiet weekends out of Mill Creek sound good, Boating Club Membership is the simpler path. If you want a bigger mix of boats and don't mind booking across the fleet, FleetShare gives you more range. Call us and we'll help match your habits to the right option.
-
Do I need to own boating experience or a license to join a boat club in Sag Harbor?
No prior ownership experience is required to join either membership. You do need to meet standard boating safety requirements for New York waters, which our team can help you sort out. Once that's handled, you can book time on Peconic Bay through either the Boating Club or FleetShare model. We'll walk you through the specifics when you sign up.
-
Can I switch between the two membership types later?
Members sometimes move from Boating Club Membership to FleetShare once they want more variety in boat types. The reverse happens too, especially for people who settle into a favorite boat at Mill Creek. Talk to us before you join if you think your needs might change, so we can point you to the option that gives you room to grow.
