MOORINGS

Moorings for Edgartown Race Weekend can be reserved by filling out and submitting the request form below.  The Harbormaster's office can be reached on VHF ch. 74 for mooring assignments when you arrive in Edgartown Harbor. The first 50 PAID early and regular registrants for the ‘Round-the-Island segment of ERW will be provided two nights of free moorings Friday and Saturday nights.  Participants of the 'Round-the-Sound Races segment will be provided two nights of free moorings Thursday and Friday nights.  You may reserve additional mooring nights through the mooring link form, and you will pay the harbormaster directly for any additional nights.

All moorings are managed by the Edgartown Harbormaster's Department.

NOTE: Given the number of yachts participating in Edgartown Race Weekend, the Edgartown mooring field quickly reaches capacity. Late registrants should take note that moorings may have filled up and yachts may need to anchor in the Outer Harbor for the regatta.

ANCHORAGE

Anchorage is only available in the outer harbor unless harbormaster has stated otherwise.

It is serviced by the launch, well protected by Chappy's bluff from the light, prevailing southwest breeze, and all sand on the bottom making for easy holding. Vessels anchoring must be out of the channel and swim zones and all engines must be shut off 150-feet and less from shore. Anchorage in Katama Bay is only open at the harbormaster’s discretion when strong winds from the North/Northeast are present. Please hail the Harbormaster on VHF Ch. 74 to inquire about the status.
