Waikiki Yacht Club

This place was very charming. Nice ocean side view and great lighting. 6 dollar drinks were kind of a bummer especially for a can of coke. All was going well until I ate the pork there. Heavily under cooked. I had to puke when I went home.

I need to tell you how great this place is.
So I’m on Oahu for a business trip. I get up in the morning to go run the beach. On my way back, I’m passing this yacht club and I’m just admiring how beautiful the boats on the water are – It was out of a storybook. So here’s me (like usual) taking all sorts of pictures of this great view. I’m trying to get a good shot, standing on tippy-​toes, camera high in the air… when suddenly a voice appears and says «Would you like to get a better view of these?» I thought he was joking when he told me that he could let me in so I could see them better. For real?
So he lets me in, allows me to capture a few shots of this beautiful place, talks story with me and tells me to come back with my husband and check out their delicious lunch menu.
So, while I didn’t go there for business or to purchase anything, the people who are behind this company are pretty rad and willing to reach out and help the consumer. I will definitely come back and visit when we come back to Oahu.
Thanks Waikiki Yacht club for the warm welcome — and the great photo setting. That’s the aloha spirit!

One of the best yacht clubs we have been to. The club was beautiful property. Cliff made the best Mai Tai Ever. Dinner was so so good. Club Manager Randy was so accommodating. He was just wonderful so personal. Also Friday Night View of Fireworks great. Keep it up Randy…

Best place in waikiki— WYC. Love my yacht club! Great food + drinks, great people, great sailing!

We have been members here for years! Great for pupus, drinks and fireworks on a Friday.

I’ve been here before and I don’t see the allure of this place. Parking is horrible. It can be very hot. Went today with a group from work (not my choice). The staff was very friendly. Our waitress could not even describe the specials and made no effort to find out more information. The food was good but not that great for the price. I had the crispy chicken avocado wrap with fries ($ 15.00). Fries were really good, chicken was good but could have used more flavor. Avocado was really fresh — nice. Iced tea was sour-​very disappointing because I really wanted a good glass of iced tea. The salted caramel cake was good but the menu did not even say it was cake (we had to ask) and the waitress couldn’t say much about it. It had cream cheese filling, which I didn’t care for. Overall it had good flavor but the menu should describe the dish better.

Had a great time at this club. I’m not a member but was there after a race with some other members. Drinks were very reasonably priced, and the poke tasted great! Staff was friendly and attentive, will definitely be going back!

What a blast our evening at WYC was yesterday! A small group of us were invited as guests for a sunset sail and the weather conditions couldn’t have been better after days of rain. We brought pupus and drinks and were able to set up on the lanai afterwards and enjoy a memorable evening of impeccable service in a pristine environment all the while making new friends.
The staff is absolutely top notch, providing the utmost in customer service. They are friendly, helpful, accommodating and go beyond the call of the duty to please the members and their guests’ experience.
If you’re looking for a private area to chill after work during pau hana where they embody the aloha spirit, look no further! The mood here is relaxed, warm and very welcoming to all.

Friday night captain’s dinners are the best! Perfect view of the hilton fireworks complete with live music and great company make for a perfect night.

Location, location, location!
For good food and cheap drinks in a gorgeous setting on the harbour, you’ll need to be sponsored by a member.

Fabulous view. Inexpensive drinks. Mediocre food. (We had a buffet, that may have been the problem.)

I really enjoyed the evening at WYC last night. The drinks were great, casual ambiance, great view of the harbor all enjoyed with great people. I look forward to visiting again soon. OH Josh was great. Very accommodating and gracious.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the WYC. It’s right on the water and you get to look at nice yachts. Plus if you go on a Friday evening you get an amazing view of the fireworks from the Hilton.
The food was quite good as well. I had a shrimp special prepared with very large local shrimp. It was very good.
The downside the experience? The service. They were so unbelievably slow. We sat and they took our drink orders and after the drinks came they waited a solid twenty minutes until they took our food orders. Then we waited for our food and it took quite a while to get the check as well. Said and done we were there for 2.5 hours and we left right after our check was paid.
But the food and atmosphere are great. Hence four stars.

My wife and I had after work pupu’s with friends who were members of the club.
The dining area overlooks the harbor and is actually over the pier… very nice.
Good service, great drinks, etc…
Food was good… we tried everything on the pupu menu and we liked most everything… even the hummus!
Boccolini was GREAT, as was the sashimi, onion rings, fries. steak… etc.
Definetely a repeat kind of place… in fact, we are having our Club Holiday Party there this weekend!

I am not a regular here but my lunch experience was good. Food was good, and the service was good. I love the setting that you have nice shades.
Long time ago… I remember coming here for wine tasting. That was nice as well.

The WYC is in a perfect location across from the Ala Moana Center and just in the entrance of Ala Moana Park.
The Club is on the Water overlooking the Docks.
The drinks and service are very good.
The membership is reasonable and monthly dues are minimal.

This private yacht club is located in the Ala Moana Beach park. It has a casual dining room and bar. One of it’s best feature is that it’s right on the water and is a perfect location for boat owners who want a secure place to dock their boats. They also give sailing lessons for anyone interested in learning how to sail.

Laid back, casual, friendly, boater atmosphere!
I consider this my home away from home while in town. You can’t beat a quiet place (during the day) with a great view to sit and enjoy lunch with a friend or even get some work done on my computer (yes! on wifi). I LOVE the staff here, all have been great to me over the years. Like Cheers, when you walk in… everybody knows your name!
The food is not gourmet (in the formal sense of the word) or super fancy, just good eats with generous portion sizes for the price point. They have a varied selection of hot and cold pupus (appetizers for the mainlanders), salads, sandwiches, & simple entrees on the menu available everyday in the bar/​dock area. You can order from an additional menu on days the formal dining room is open (W, TH, F, Su for lunch and only open W, F for dinner). You can also enjoy brunch on Sundays. Don’t forget to ask about the «blue plate special,» they usually sell out quick.
I love the salads at WYC, they are served in what others would consider a serving bowl. The Greek and the Chicken Papaya are two of my favorites. Dress up your salad with mango and lilikoi dressings created by Guy, the GM, who is very accomplished in the kitchen too. He should bottle and sell them (hint, hint, hint Guy!).
Sunset is one of my favorite times to be sitting on the dock, enjoying food, friends, and the view. If you happen to be at the club on a Friday night, you are in a prime spot to watch the Friday night fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Village beginning between 7:30 & 8:00 p depending on the time year (and when it gets dark). Right now in Nov. it might begin closer to 7:30p and in the summer months closer to 8p. Stay for the live music and dancing from sunset until around 10p. Friday night is a big night, starting with Friday night races around 5ish!
There is a saline pool, small locker room to shower, and monthly locker rentals for members. Drinks and food all available poolside too!
The big event happening every other year is the Transpac sailing race from CA to HI (
). The next race is in 2013. Waikiki Yacht Club is a host along with Hawaii Yacht Club across the way.
My introduction to the WYC was through its paddling program. Nice place to hang out for the summer and beyond! After practice you can have a nice, hot shower and a meal before you go home. Membership does have it’s privileges!
If you will be visiting Hawaii and you are a yacht club member in your hometown, call WYC to see if you have reciprocal privileges between clubs. I love visiting other clubs when I travel.

WYC is a decent place to swim (somewhat of a small pool) and a two shower lockerroom. Food is pretty good too and staff is nice if you are a regular– otherwise, goodluck with service. Nice view of friday night fireworks– decent music too.
If you eat in the dining room, Cliff is the BEST SERVER EVER! super friendly. does the job right the first time!

Love this Waikiki Yacht Club. My friend has a trimaran, so we often got out there and race on the weekend by the Waikiki Shore.
Waikiki Yacht Club has a decent restaurant here, looking out to the harbor, simply stunning view.
Definitely a lot of fun and the location is walking distance from the Waikiki Beach. Life of a beach bum is good!
The sunset view when you are docking in is stunning, priceless view! Sigh… I miss the island!
