She keeps on rolling… she just keeps rolling along… Experience the mighty Mississippi River at Memphis, Tennessee — Home of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll.

Founded in 1902 as the Memphis Canoe Club, the Memphis Yacht Club operates the Mud Island Marina on the Wolf River Harbor off the Mississippi River. You'll enter our protected waters at Mile Marker 735.8 (GPS: 35º08.997N and 090º03.403W, or buy a navigational chart from the U.S. Corps of Engineers) below the "M shaped" I-40 bridge and above the I-55 bridge. Head north into the harbor at the historic cobblestone ramps and go north about ¼ mile. You'll see our docks on the left, just past the monorail.

If it appears we are full, please don't let that deter you. We can shift boats around and may be able to make room for yours! Please call ahead for detailed information and personalized service. We will strive to meet your needs.

We are the only fuel facility that can service larger craft on the Mississippi River for about 200 miles in either direction. Offering both gasoline and diesel, we can accommodate vessels up to 135' in length for transient dockage. Our Marina Store is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week, and offers a variety of items for your convenience, including bagged ice, beverages and snacks. Access to showers is also available and our friendly and helpful staff will work hard to make your stay enjoyable.

Dock your boat right alongside Mud Island River Park and "experience the River," a full scale model of the entire Mississippi River, from its origin in Minnesota to its muddy mixture with the salt waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Ride the Mud Island monorail to all the nearby exciting downtown Memphis hot spots, including Beale Street and the Pyramid arena, current home to the Memphis Grizzlies, one of the newest and most successful NBA franchises. Or catch a baseball game — the Memphis Redbirds is the AAA farm team for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Shop, eat (or hoist a pint at Dan McGinnis), see a movie, or play video games or billiards at Peabody Place. Have dinner at any of several great restaurants, from finger-lickin' ribs at Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous to Memphis' favorite cheeseburgers at Huey's to five-star cuisine from Chez Philippe at the Peabody Hotel. Downtown Memphis has dining options to suit every taste and every budget.

Ride the authentic trolleys throughout the downtown and midtown areas or enjoy a horse-drawn carriage tour of downtown. Elvis Presley's Graceland is only a short cab ride away. For more great info on local attractions, visit the Memphis Convention & Visitor's Bureau and The City of Memphis Online.

It's a long way from Illinois to Florida, so take your time and enjoy some Southern hospitality!
