The FYC launch monitors marine VHF channel 14 for pickup/delivery of crews for boats in the harbor. 

Launch service is available from 8 am to 8 pm (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday) and from 8 am to 10 pm (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday) to/from the inner harbor and outer harbor mooring fields and to the transient dock directly across the channel from the yacht club.

Launch service cost is $100 per season

Two skiffs like the one shown here are available for accessing boats in the harbor. Skippers can row or use their own outboard motors (limit 10 HP) if they have safe boating certificates and insurance to cover any fuel pollution that might occur due to their operation.
