Located in the heart of the balboa peninsula, this fairly newly renovated location boasts all the elements you'd come to expect from an exclusive yacht club. I was invited by friends to imbibe in sunset drinks and enjoy the grounds on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The space was definitely not crowded so I had free reign to explore with reckless abandon. Pleasant views of the bay abound on upper and lower decks with limited dining and drink menus to boot. Service was pleasant and the views were nice. They had a charming gift shop at the entrance, as well. Overall, I had a positive first experience here. I could imagine private parties and boat show viewing events would be a hit here with guests as they offer plenty of private rooms to choose from to cater to various events from weddings banquets and family get togethers.

Amazing service at NHYC. José was friendly and helpful with refueling my boat. The staff was happy to assist me, and I felt like family even though I was just visiting. Clean facilities, great people. I highly recommend them. Thanks guys!

Came here for a business meeting. First off the place was really nice, had a lot of trophies, open views, and clean spaces catered for the yacht lifestyle. Weirdly enough the meeting we had was located in a side part of the building, it was big enough to just fit all 9 of our team members who attended the meeting. In terms of the dining experience, the waiter we had was very attentive and catered to our orders, also providing great recommendations for the daily soups and entrees. I ordered the buttersquash soup with half a buffalo mozzarella chicken sandwich. However, the waiter notified me that the buttersquash soup was actually a pumpkin soup, which was fine, but caught me by surprise. For the sandwich, it was GOOD, but I wish the "half" was a little larger than what I got originally. Would love to try the other items next time. So overall, nice venue for events and fancy dining. Portions and price of the food? Eh...

An amazing place. Thoughtfully rebuilt from The ground up. Amazing people and staff. Never had a questionable time here. Absolutely love it.

My partner and I went to Newport Harbor Yacht Club for lunch while you're visiting Newport Beach, and overall, it had some good views, but the service left something to be desired. This is a private club, so our friend leaving a guest pass at the reception was the only way we're able to eat lunch here. That sort of limits who can go here, which is kind of the point. We sat down right along the water, and but we had to wait a good while for anyone to really notice us. That's kind of frustrating when servers are running past you but don't acknowledge you. Eventually, someone came around, and we ordered lunch. They are known for their mai tais, and the one I ordered was extremely strong. Extremely. The menu is not very expansive. Their lettuce wrap appetizers was somewhat healthy, but messy. But they did have a good assortment of salads. My partner's carne asada taco salad was delicious, as was my crabcake salad. The entrées definitely were the standout. Overall, this place has good views and good food. Obviously the atmosphere is very clubby, and I noticed they were selling vineyard vines ties in the lobby for $99. That pretty much tells you all you to know.

Wonderful! The remodel is absolutely gorgeous, the staff is professional and personal and the view can't be beat! Susan at reception greets with a smile and is extremely helpful, membership manager Joie is absolutely amazing with knowledge and kindness, and Adrien bartending makes the best Manhattan in So Cal! Thank you!

I was very excited to come here with my daughter for FJ Nationals, which NHYC hosted. Nice location and beautiful view. I came from a reciprocating yacht club. The service was great for its members, but the servers ignored me and were actually quite rude. Not the most gracious hosts, so not sure why they decided to host the regatta. I've been to yacht clubs throughout SoCal, big and small, and the experience at NHYC pales in comparison. The food was adequate, but if you order the BLT (which I don't recommend) make sure to request that the bread be toasted. As a side note, they have a very limited selection of beer.

Had a underwhelming, bland and cold dinner on their balcony and it smelt like rotten eggs! For an expensive dinner, I found it a total waste of money. Moreover, I couldn't help but notice on the water - all of their yacht club members were not following right of way laws and just messing about in the middle of the bay, totally in the way of all other boats. You could tell how inconvenient it was, with boaters crashing into the sea walls and docks just trying to avoid them! Unreal disrespect for maritime law. This place does not deserve the title of "yacht club".

I love NHYC. My partner and I go often and it is our go to place for dinner and drinks. The new building is beautiful, the staff are personable and helpful and there food is really good. It is like a local "cheers"...everyone is so friendly. You must have the Mai Tai's, they are amazing!!

The best part of NHYC is by far the view--can't beat eating dinner while the sun is setting. The food itself is decent, but the service is always excellent. And of course, the cappuccino ice cream is always amazing!

Blitzen’s Baddies aim for strong finish to 2024 Newport Yacht Club’s racing season

• Copy Link URL Copied!

Challenges confronted the crew of the Blitzen from day one in their inaugural year competing in the Newport Harbor Yacht Club’s racing season. Their halyard broke during the opening day race in May, sending the wind-catching kite propelling their boat from Long Beach Harbor to Newport Pier tumbling into the ocean.

“There was no hesitation between this team,” Blitzen’s owner Brett Scott said. “Everyone grabbed the kite and in 20 seconds it was up and flying again.”

She has been sailing since she was 5. But her first year at the head of a team has taught her a lot about managing schedules, the personalities aboard the boat and finances, she said.

“Whenever something breaks it adds up, so I’m definitely not doing this for the money,” Scott said with a laugh. “Don’t take investment advice from me. But we’ve really bonded as a team, and I think that’s our greatest achievement.”

There were plenty of smirks, side-eye and playful jabs as she and the crew rigged the Blitzen Friday in preparation of Long Point Race week. The three-day race is the last competitive event of the yacht club’s season.

The first leg starts in Newport Harbor and ends at Catalina Island. Boats then sail to the opposite end of the island and back on day two before returning to Newport Harbor on day three.

Blitzen’s Baddies, as the crew refers to themselves on Instagram, are all experienced sailors and were optimistic about finishing strong in their first season as a team. They’ve had some success this summer, including third-, second- and first-place finishes in their class during the three days of Long Beach Racing Week in June.

“We keep getting better,” Scott said.

Crew member Tyler Macdonald said the hardest part about the season has been “dealing with Adam and Spencer,” drawing laughs from Adam Bradley, Spencer Buchanan and the rest of the team aboard the Blitzen on Friday. Teammate Matt Whitfield said the real challenge of each race lies in “the hangover afterwards.” Coincidentally, he said his favorite activity while sailing is when they crack open some beer mid-journey.

There’s no shortage of banter aboard the Blitzen. And the irreverent sense of humor of her crew is half the reason Scoot chose to have them aboard.

She grew up in Reno and traveled to Newport Beach every summer as a child to sail with her family. She fell in love with both the ocean and the tavern-style warmth of the community that welcomed her into the sport.

Her father, Bart Scott, said he wasn’t surprised to see her move to Newport Beach. He’s proud to see her fulfill her lifelong dream of owning a boat and fielding a racing team. And although she has a sense of humor, she runs a tight ship and commands the respect of her crew.

“Once we all come together on what a problem is there’s not a lot of back and forth or arguing,” Scott said. “They all just recognize what we each need to do and get it done.”

After Long Point, Blitzen’s Baddies plan on participating in small casual races while preparing for next season. They hope to compete in the Transpacific Yacht Race from San Pedro to Honolulu next July.
