They have moorings, a launch, and listen in on channel 9. Dig out your best "casual" duds, and your gold card (about $40-$50pp with wine etc). They really want cruiser business. You could also ask about golfing while sitting on their mooring. I think they'd agree if you promised to eat dinner too. The location is unbeatable; with wonderful sunsets over the mooring field, marred only a little by the power plant stack across the sound on Cousins Island. The food is top notch, and usually harvested locally. See the website for details.
The Chebeague Island Stone Pier is on the "inside" (north coast) of Great Chebeague, near the east end of the island. You can also park on the rte 1 parking lot in Yarmouth and take the bus and ferry from Cousins Island. Be sure to check their schedule.
For a less pricey meal, Calder's Clam Shack just opened on the North Road of Chebeague. It's about 2 miles from the stone pier (from the pier, turn right onto South Road, then bear right at the fork onto North Road where the Chebeague Historical society is - an old schoolhouse, and look for the shack on the left side about a mile further on, just after going by Firehouse Road, see http://www.chebeague.org/chebroadmapfull.jpg). They have sandwiches, fried clams and scallops, burgers, excellent onion rings, lobster roll on weekends, and a friendly smile. Clams are expensive this year (in my opinion) because the wholesale market is so tight - about $12-$13 for a pint. The Clam Shack is closed Mondays. If you are brave, you can ask anyone with a car to give you a ride over, they are (almost) all friendly to visitors who are polite and friendly in return.
