When visiting the Portsmouth NH/Kittery, Maine area and the powerful Piscataqua River that separates the two states, one is struck by the diversity of the area. New Castle on the NH side is very quaint and historic and features the impressive Wentworth-by-the-Sea Resort and Marina. Directly across the river is the equally quaint town of Kittery, Maine, which has a quality yacht yard as well as the imposing Portsmouth Naval Shipyard that refits nuclear submarines. Just up river is Portsmouth, NH, which accommodates ocean-going ships, a cosmopolitan downtown and rich historic sites such as Strawbery Banke. The region celebrated the 400th anniversary of the settlement in 1623 last year.
Approach & Cautions

Coming from the south, between Gunboat Shoal bell buoy 1 and Kitts Rock 2KR whistle you will start to focus your approach to the harbor. The arch of the Piscataqua River Bridge (I-95), the lift towers of the Sarah Long (Rt. 1-Bypass) and Memorial (Rt. 1) bridges and the cranes of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard will be slightly left. Whaleback Lighthouse Fl (2) 10 s and R “2” are left to starboard. Can “3” and a daymark on Stielman Rocks off New Castle beach are left to port. Inside C “3” is a yellow warning buoy and a University of New Hampshire experimental fish pen just under the watch tower of the USCG Portsmouth Harbor Station. Fort Point Lighthouse G is left to port.
From the north, Boon Island Lighthouse is the prominent offshore light. Inshore from this lighthouse, beware of the various marked rocks such as York Ledge, Murray’s Rock, Stone’s Rock and, closer to Portsmouth Harbor, The East (unmarked) and West Sisters and Kitt’s Rock (2KR) off Whaleback Lighthouse.
There are channel markers on the Kittery Point shore to center approaching ships in the middle of the channel.
Little Harbor: The harbor to the west of New Castle, northwest of Whaleback Lighthouse is protected by two offset breakwaters, the easterly breakwater being the outermost. Approaching, observe the can (1) and the nun (2) outside the breakwaters. There is a slight jog to the right and then left through the two breakwaters and then a narrow channel through the mooring field to the Safe Harbor Wentworth Marina . A sailboat should not go inland as the bridge (Rt. 1 Bypass) requires a four-hour window after a call to the State of New Hampshire Department of Transportation for a lift crew to arrive. There is not much inside that bridge of interest to a sailing vessel.

Docking, Anchorages, or Moorings
The most popular anchorage is just west of the mooring field at Pepperrell Cove, between Nun “4” and the western shore.

OUR REVIEWS
What CCA Members are saying:
As a young boy, l learned to row then sail on the Piscataqua River. Learning about the tides with their currents and eddies helps understanding how to get around. Some venues remain the same and some have evolved over time, but it is still a mighty river basin with its charms.

Portsmouth is a New Hampshire port city on the Piscataqua River, and Portsmouth is the only port in the state. Known for tax-free shopping, waterfront views, and historical sites, the city of Portsmouth sits just 60 miles north of Boston.
This could be one of your ports when sailing north to Maine or south from Maine to Newport or Boston. The Piscataqua River separates New Hampshire from Maine. The final stretch of the Piscataqua River near Portsmouth Harbor is a swift tidal estuary. It is among the fastest in North America.

Today, you can wander the historic district and soak up the well-preserved colonial charm.
In Portsmouth, the summers are warm, and the winters are freezing, wet, and windy. It is partly cloudy year-round. Over the year, the temperature typically varies from 19°F to 80°F. It is rarely below 5°F or above 89°F.

They were very kind and I felt cared about treating other people as they would want to be treated. Thank you for your service; I would definitely recommend them to others. Josh B.
This is the place for boat repairs. I have had my boat here twice for repairs and winterization. The second time for a major repair. Both repairs were done in a timely manner; especially the major repair. The final cost for each came in under the estimate. When issues that I could repair myself were identified there was no pressure to have the yard perform the work. The winterizing was perfect with no damage and no issues in the spring. The communications and professionalism are excellent. John B.
Very professional. Customer oriented and very clean. Mark S.

Kittery Historical & Naval Museum
Situated at the heart of Maine’s oldest incorporated town, this treasure trove of history is a delightful introduction to the region’s rich shipbuilding heritage. The museum features an impressive collection of stories and artifacts dating back to the Colonial era and makes for a fun and fascinating mini-outing with your crew. You can find it (and plenty of parking) on the Kittery traffic circle right off of I-95.
Seapoint and Crescent Beaches
Beautifully situated on portions of Cutts Island and Gerrish island, Seaport consists of two crescent-shaped sandy beaches ideal for visiting year round. Seaport Beach is on the north side of a tiny peninsula flanked by a marsh and has a gentle surf, making it a great option for little swimmers. Crescent Beach, located on the south side, is widely considered the locals’ beach. Both spots are perfect for birdwatching, kayaking, swimming, scuba, fishing, and observing wildlife. Dog walking is also permitted during specific times of day, so be sure to check the latest local guidelines before your visit.
The Black Birch
Head over to this charming American Gastropub for a comfortable, modern dining experience featuring refined comfort food, beer, wine, and a delicious assortment of specialty craft cocktails. Farm-to-fork small plates are the stars of The Black Birch’s menu, with tasty shareables like poutine and duck confit, house pickles, and deviled eggs to pass around the table. Soups, salads, sandwiches, and other seasonal plates are always on rotation, so you’re sure to discover something fresh and delicious no matter the time of year.
Blue Mermaid Island Grill
For fresh tropical eats and a lively island ambiance, head on over to the Blue Mermaid Island Grill. Only a short distance from the marina, this spot is known for its tantalizing Caribbean-inspired menu offerings, delicious fruity drinks, local beer, and expansive deck seating. Ideal for a fun night out with friends, this popular local haunt also features regular live music line ups and trivia nights.
Fort McClary
Overlooking the Piscataqua River at the southern gateway to Kittery, Maine, the 275-year-old Fort McClary is understood to be one of the state’s most important historical forts. Serving as an important military defense, the site was manned by soldiers during five wars–from the American Revolution to World War I. Although it saw little conflict, the impressive fortification is a fascinating time capsule of military history, architecture, and technology. Be sure to check the latest seasonal schedules for operating hours when planning your visit.
Seafari Charters
If you’re looking to spend a memorable day on the water, look no further than the good folks at Seafari Charters. Try your luck at deep sea fishing, take a plunge into the underwater world of scuba diving, watch for whales, or simply relax aboard with an experienced crew at the helm—there’s something for everyone onboard to enjoy. Assorted beverages are provided on all trips and catered meals or informal picnics can also be arranged by request. Check seasonal schedules, book an excursion, view recent fishing reports, and more online.
Hurricane Hole
A marked advantage of choosing Safe Harbor Kittery Point is its classification as a natural “hurricane hole”. The marina’s inland location and surrounding mangroves provide ample protection from high winds and stormy seas, keeping you and your vessel out of harm’s way, no matter what Mother Nature has in store for the season.

Spring and Summer at PSC
On a spinnaker run in the PSC cruiser race . . . it doesn’t get much better than this! There’s lots to enjoy beyond cruiser racing as the weather warms up. Don’t forget to check out the events calendar for all the upcoming opportunities to get on the water and join social activites at PSC this spring and summer.
Dinghy Cruising & Social Sailing
Dinghies land on the sand bar inside Langstone Harbour for a picnic lunch, before exiting the harbour at low tide to sail across and return to the club via Portsmouth Harbour, the Portsea Island Cruise. See Dinghy Social Sailing for more details.
Cruiser Rallies
Our cruiser sailors regularly go off on rallies around the Solent, always a nice harbour to moor up for an evening of relaxation and a nice meal. For more see our Rallies programme
Dinghy Racing
Our dinghy fleet race on a regular basis, a mixed handicap fleet; Single handers from Toppers, to Lasers, Solo’s RS Aero to Finn, for the double handers from RS Feva and Vision, Laser 2000 and RS400. For more details visit our dinghy racing section.
Stand Up Paddling and Kayaking
The water around Portchester Castle is ideal for Stand Up Paddling and Kayaking (of course this is tide and weather dependant). The club has kayak racks where members can have year round storage and we have an active group of members who kayak or SUP .
During the winter the club purchased some new paddleboards and we are excited to be able to offer these for use, at a nominal fee, by club members.
Our on-water “Get Afloat” sessions run on Friday evenings with favourable tide and are an opportunity for new and existing club members to try out our club SUP and/or dinghies with support and tips from other members. Join us afterwards in the Clubhouse to rehydrate and perhaps enjoy some food from the galley menu.
Come along to our ‘little boats’ and try some radio sailing. See the Radio Sailing page for our scheduled races and come along to watch or give it a go. read more here

Applicants for membership must be sponsored by at least two members in good standing who have been members for at least two years. Sponsors must have known the applicant for at least 2 years. The application form must be obtained from a sponsor, and both sponsors will complete part of the application.
Before filing, applicants must have attended, with their sponsor(s), at least two different regularly scheduled PYC events and volunteer for one event within 12 months including, but not limited to, dinners, breakfasts, club cruises, pre- and post-season work parties or docks-in or docks-out with one or both sponsors, with the object of meeting as many of the Membership Committee, Flag Officers, and members of the Board of Directors. Each sponsor must attend at least one of these events. The application can be submitted to the secretary with a $975 application fee as soon as this requirement has been met.
Because we are limited to 250 active memberships, there is frequently a wait list for new members. While on the wait list, applicants will receive our regular newsletters. While we regret that we cannot grant full club privileges to wait list members, we do encourage them to attend our social functions, as a guest of a sponsor or another member.
Currently, annual dues are $975 per year. For members joining after August 1 of any year, the dues are prorated to 50% of the full year’s amount. There are added fees for lockers, dinghy-dock spaces, launch service, and slips or moorings. Dues and fees are set by the Board of Directors and are subject to change.
Each June, new members for the season are given a hearty welcome by Flag Officers and members with a cocktail party in their honor.
