The Albany Yacht Club (AYC) will open Striper Season docking reservations on January 2, 2026. This reservation period applies only to the Striper Season and is open to both members and non-members.

Striper Season dockage supports boaters participating in the spring striped bass run on the Hudson River, a time when boating and fishing activity increases significantly. The program provides short-term seasonal dockage tailored specifically to this period, separate from regular seasonal or transient docking arrangements.

Dock space for the Striper Season is limited, and reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Boaters planning to take advantage of the spring season are encouraged to prepare in advance to ensure timely submission once reservations open.
