Mooring for two weeks in Rhode Island/Cape cod area this summer

[Jaqun]

I'm a Long island sound cruiser from City Island. I have a couple of two week vacations that are spaced with a couple of weeks in-between. I am wondering if anyone would know of an inexpensive place to moor a boat for a few weeks in the Rhode Island or South Cape Cod area. I'm Looking to cruise to the Vineyard and spend some time. I am a yacht club member so a reciprocal arrangement would work. Appreciate any help.
Thanks

$30 per night - mooring with Point Independence Yacht Club, or the Harbor Master Onset, but the mud is so sticky there you could probably leave it at anchor.

Since you are a yacht club member check with the secretary and ask which clubs you have reciprocal agreements with. A couple phone calls should be all it takes to make arrangements.

Look into New Bedford / Fairhaven, on Buzzards bay.
Few hour sail to CC and MV thru Woods Hole.
Although very much a commercial fishing port NB has many seasonal/ transient moorings
for recreational sailors both inside and outside the hurricane barrier.
I have stayed in marinas on the Fairhaven side and considered this as a good port if
I were to leave boat for a few weeks as you are considering.
NB has a great website...Port of New Bedford
also phone Penny @ 508 979 1456 or 508 961 3000 ??(from my notes so check site)
actually thinking seasonal moorings @ $150. but never confirmed.

I left my boat in New Bedford for a week last summer, I believe it was Popes island marina. The harbor is very well protected and has hurricane gates. Cuttyhunk, Martha’s Vineyard & Newport are all within a days sail.

Sounds like a great plan. A one way car rental to get you home and back. I use Enterprise car rental because they pick you up and drop you off at each end. Saves cab fare or Uber fees. We like that area.

Thank you all, lots of good leads here!

You could go a bit further south also by checking in Pocasset, Kingsman Yach center.
They have an extended mooring field. A bit more remote maybe.

I second Kingman. One of the most protected harbors on the east coast, IMHO.
Takes me 2 hours from Kingman to Oak Bluffs when you time the currents through the hole and in the sound.
