Kaneohe Yacht Club

I come here on Wednesdays because that is usually prime rib night. The scenery is amazing and you get a great view of the harbor. The sunset is a great time to go and reserve a time. Seating is usually very fast and there is parking in the front (only for members). Guests can park on the street. Prices are reasonable and the servers are very nice!

I arrived at KYC from San Francisco as part of the 2024 Pacific Cup. The welcoming and dedication of all the volunteers and club members was amazing. I have not seen this outside of Hawaii. The club even has volunteers to do laundry chores. There is something special about this place.

$15.00 ish on 30 Sept 2022. More a turkey sandwich than a Reuben sandwich. It was ok

Growing up I was never exposed to yacht clubs and sailing so I always believed that it was a very elite, hoity-toity, haole thing. But thankfully, I have had the pleasure of being a guest several times to KYC and I can now correct my previous misconceptions.Located on Kaneohe Bay Drive, KYC is absolutely beautiful. Boats have direct access to Kaneohe Bay, Coconut Island, and the infamous Sandbar. Sailing during sunset gives you the most gorgeous visuals w/ the Ko'olau mountains in the backdrop. The amenities are very clean w/ showers, pool, bar, restaurant, and grill. It really seems like a great place for families.The restaurant and food is really good and very reasonably priced. I've tried it all. Breakfast, brunch, dinner. You can get a mean eggs benedict for $10 and at dinner they serve complimentary bread and salad w/ the entrees. Try the fish or filet mignon.The only downside is you have to be a member of the club (makes sense) to access all this wonderfulness and also if you're a guest, you have to park on the street rather than the private lot (it's not difficult to find street parking though). But man, if you ever get the chance to visit this place and hop on a boat, take the opportunity, you will not regret it.

In the past I came here for different dining events. Now I join friends for brunch and different events. I'm not a member but my friends invite me when they take their boat out. This is a yacht club, so you need to be a guest of a member to use the facilities.The facilities are awesome, dining, pool, showers, open grounds, meeting facility, party area, etc. There are slips, dry dock, and all the other things needed for your boat or yacht. My friends keep their boat off their back yard, but became members when the opportunity came up. It is not a matter of just saying, "you know, today I would like to join the Kaneohe Yacht Club." You need to be sponsored by a senior or life member and have the funds to join. They do a background check and everything. From your spouse to your dog. They only want the best members! Ok, maybe they won't background check your dog, but you get the picture. It's a very rigorous and maybe nerve wrecking process, but I'm sure once you finish all of that, you'll be thankful they scrutinize their members.Members are lucky to have an awesome place to gather at. They can also throw their own private events if there isn't a conflicting occasion. The food is good and the service is awesome. I would hope so, if you're spending all that money on dues and what not. And the thing about being a member is the opportunity to socialize with other yacht owners. It doesn't have to be restricted to yachting activities but golf and tennis, too. They encourage members to participate in what ever way they can.It's a very well rounded club, I would hope to become a member, but I don't have a boat. I hope my friends remember to invite me along the next time they go to Kaneohe Yacht Club!

By far the best garlic shrimp on the island. Blows Giovanni's out of the water! Lovely atmosphere and great conversation with the members.

my uncle has been a member of this club for many years and was disappointed by the decline in service and upkeep of the place. foodwise (this is why you're primarily on yelp, right?), when we ordered brunch, the waitress was pretty rude and got our orders wrong. I ordered the Brandy eggs benedict but got Veggies egg benedict instead. Mine was supposed to have spinach, tomato, and bacon but got onion. And I couldn't tell that it was wrong until i bit into it, but I wasn't about to send it back because who knows what that biyatch would put in my food!there were so many rowdy kids, i was wondering if i was at a local park by mistake?anyway, food is mediocre. you only become a member here so that you can park your boat. i don't have a boat, so i don't need to eat here.

Today we choose to come to the club for my birthday dinner. It is Wednesday and that is the best day to get dinner for a reasonable price the club was quite crowded and there was a long line at the bar. I ordered ono and my husband had his favorite, salmon. They were offering lobster on this night, but no one makes lobster as good as my husband. His salmon was spot on very tasty. My ono was just slightly overdone. I still wasn't fond of the cole slaw. The salad was quite large. The view was excellent like always. I had to lower my rating simply because my fish wasn't cooked as well as it should have been. I do enjoy the mango salsa they put on top of the fish. I hope the next time I go the fish is as perfect as I know they can make it. I do love seeing my old friends at the club.

Emphatically the best yacht club in Hawai'i and definitely an epic Sunday brunch spot. They have an all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas for $20! The location is located directly on the water with a great vista that includes big yachts and the entire Ko'olau Mountain range.The service staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed, and not what you'd expect from a posh mainland yacht club. Thursday night dinner is a bit pricier than brunch, but the live piano more than makes up for it. Heather and Tiffany were our waitresses this week and both offered impeccable service. Troy runs a tight kitchen and is approachable with questions on menu items or dietary restrictions. The bar is cozy, and appropriately outfitted with the trophies and burgees needed for an authentic yacht club experience.

The Kaneohe Yacht Club (KYC) is not a restaurant. It's....a YACHT CLUB.Rating this establishment for their brunch alone is extremely unfair. Now that that's out of the way, I can get on with my review.It's odd. For Oahu being an island surrounded by water, there aren't many options for boat owners. As a member for over 10 years, I can say that KYC serves its purpose extremely well. You'd be hard pressed to find a place with better (and cleaner!) storage, dry dock, mooring, and trailoring privileges. Members also get shared docking privileges with other yacht clubs on the island. There is an ample wash space for owners to clean their boats. After a full day of water skiing, cruising the bay, or playing at the sandbar, KYC is the best place to come "home" to. (especially if you have children! pool + hot showers + food = no whiny kids. If it doesn't work, well, there's also a full bar!)KYC is also very accommodating when it comes to group space and families. I've thrown many birthday parties at their brunch, on the lawn, under the trellised picnic tables next to the pool (my favorite!), and on the 2nd floor lanai overlooking the boats. We've thrown evening BBQ's at KYC, using their xtra large built-in grill and set up tables under the tiki torches to entertain many out-of-town guests.And I haven't even begun to talk about their additional amenities! KYC has a tennis team, sailing fleet, fishing club(?), and gets involved in all kinds of races/events to offer to their members. And there's a pool. When I was a child, that's all I really cared about.I've had only a couple gripes with KYC over the years, and that's 1. The showers run out of hot water wayyy too quickly and 2. It's hard to find parking (for your car and your boat) on the weekends
