New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor (MYHMC) manages marina slips, parks, boathouses, and public access on Lake Pontchartrain at West End, operating as a self-funded public benefit corporation of the City of New Orleans. The Municipal Yacht Harbor offers annual slips and transient docking with storm-rated floating docks, shore power, water, security, and boater amenities.

Beyond the marina, the harbor manages public greenspace open daily, including West End Park, Breakwater Park, The Point Recreation Area, a fishing pier, and the West End Boat Launch. A genuinely distinctive feature is the 133 privately-owned boathouses surrounding the harbor, a West End tradition dating back to the 1950s, held on long-term city water-bottom leases managed by MYHMC.

As a public benefit corporation, MYHMC’s board meetings are open to the public, with agendas, minutes, and official documents available online.

For boaters near New Orleans looking for marina slips, public park access, a fishing pier, or a historic boathouse lease on Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor offers a well-established, city-managed destination at West End.
