Amazing private club, with some of the best grounds, docks and views in the world. Truly a treat to visit as a reciprocal member from another club. Their chef is truly world class, and the bar and restaurant is tightly and beautifully managed. The General Manager must really know his business as the club is spotless…

You have to be a member to have dinner at this place . This was on Sunday 22nd of September. The cocktails were on point. Dinner was excellent , except for the service when the main entree dinners were not served all at once.

Amazing private club, with some of the best grounds, docks and views in the world. Truly a treat to visit as a reciprocal member from another club. Their chef is truly world class, and the bar and restaurant is tightly and beautifully managed. The General Manager must really know his business as the club is spotless and well maintained. For those who are not members, the Club opens their doors for private events held by non-members in their Grand Ballroom and upstairs bar and beautiful deck. Well worth it for that special event in your life. If you have reciprocity with an affiliate Yacht Club, do look into visiting on your boat, just be sure to reserve guest dock space before you start your journey.

Response from the owner · 9 months ago

We love reciprocals! Stop by any time.
