The Inland Harbour

Wexford’s developers had a great appreciation for life on the sea, and this unique community was designed so that enjoyment of the water is part and parcel of each day and night: no crowds, no commercial activities – just a distinctive boating lifestyle that will endure.

Wexford’s 37-acre inland harbour, with direct access to Broad Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway, features deep canals that cut a beautiful, watery ribbon through the community and affords owners the ultimate pleasure of docking boats in their own back yard. The lock gates control the effects of the tide and provide access for pleasure boats which range from the smallest dinghy to vessels up to 65 ft long with a 19 ft beam.

Wexford Harbour contains about 280 boat slips – 138 located behind privately owned homes and the remainder behind the clubhouse for the exclusive use of property owners who desire membership in the Wexford Yacht Club. Due to Wexford’s central location along the Atlantic Coast, boaters have easy access to ports from Maine to the Caribbean.

 

Highlights of Wexford Harbour

  • The lock provides 24-hour-a-day controlled access, ensures security, and minimizes tidal fluctuation to maintain a nearly constant water depth around 8 feet.
  • The full-time Harbourmaster and support staff service the needs of the boating community and maintain the harbour in excellent condition.
  • The Harbour Center provides snacks, ice, and boating supplies and serves as the hub of boating activity.
  • Services offered include inhouse boat washing and detailing, coordinating boat maintenance and repair work, and organization of day cruises and special events.
  • The approach channel is dredged regularly – Wexford owns its own permitted spoils containment area for sediment disposal.
