I went to here for a camp. It was crazy expensive, the instructors were mean and you know what happened to me their? I fell off of a paddle board that had two other kids on it with a kayak paddle which is not safe at all and the paddle hit me right in the head. I had to go to a hospital to get 6 staples in my head and the rest of my summer was ruined because I couldnt get wet.Thanks CYC.

A friend of a friend had a boat here. I need friends of my own with boats that can afford to be here. It was gorgeous.

Awesome place very good food and very nice people to talk too

Had a perfectly wonderful evening at the club for socially distanced dinner.

While I greatly enjoyed being a member at this club, my experience leaving the club has been dismal. For the past 6 months I’ve been dealing with billing issues and CYC continues to bill me despite my resignation over the summer.Membership and billing personnel have been responsive but inept at resolving this issue, though each month, they assure me it’s been sorted.

Members only Yacht club located on Monroe and lakeshore drive. From the moment you walk in staff is extremely courteous and friendly. I went in for dinner and it was amazing. I started with the lobster bisque soup and had the pork chop special for my entree. For dessert I had the tres leches cake with coffee, good but a little too sweet. All in all a great experience and hope to return soon.

Great place with one of the best evening cocktail views

Visited the club for the in-water boat show, wonderful club with great location.

Wonderful place. I like it.

It is always a treat to enjoy a leisurely lunch or gourmet dinner by the Fireside while viewing the lake. Food and service are predictably delicious.

Great place to learn how to sale and take summer camps.

Very upscale with fantastic food, very good service and an incredible view of Lake Michagan. Whenever I have had the apportunity to visit the Club it is a highlight of my Chicago visit.

Beautiful rainy night...awesome ambiance

Well honestly, everyone was very kind and respectful. The food was delicious and my experience there was amazing. I highly suggest Chicago Yacht Club

Ive been here a few times with cousins and uncles. This place is fabulous! My uncle has very good taste in restaurants

You gotta yacht? Dis is a real nice yacht club, maybe its where you should hang out.

Fabulous.Clean, tidy, and organized. Atmosphere best in city with fine aperitif, dining and courtesy.

Best of the best, and your wallet will know it

The place was very nice would visit again.

Beautiful views of Monroe Harbor and Lake Michigan

The Chicago Yacht Club is a private club which hosts dozens of local, national and international sail boat races each year. Its members volunteer thousands of hours of time to support the sport of sailboat racing. It operates two facilities - the main one at Monroe Street and Lake Shore Drive which is a year-round dining facility for its members, and a seasonal sailing center at Belmont Harbor. Members of the Chicago Yacht Club race sailboats around the world.The Chicago Yacht Club hosts as its premier event the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac each July, where over 300 boats and 2500 sailors compete in a race to Mackinac Island, MI over three days. The Mac is widely considered one of the most prestigious sailboat races in the world.

Always fun for the Chi Mac race!

Great service, very good food

Beautiful club, friendly staff and nice members

When I worked downtown, a coworker friend and I would meet up for lunch, and once in a while wed end up here. I loved it. It was really quiet at lunchtime during the week. He knew a lot of members & staff because his family is involved in the sailing scene in Chicago and that made it very welcoming as well. The food was good. They have awesome (members & guests only!) parties in the summer during the boat parade.

Wish it were summer.

Beautiful place in a great location. Food and service were excellent.

Had an post IMTS customer event on 9-12-18.Very friendly staff and great appetizers and drinks. Great view from the upstairs room.

Worked here for an outside event. Was bartending, was promised tips to be split by management. Management never paid out tips. They had changed management. And its our fault. So we worked hard for this and just because the other manager screwed up we get screwed. Never ever working here again.

Beautiful place for a party, especially when its warm

Chef Asher is a genius

Their Annual Power & Sail In - Water Tech Show.

Nice hosts. Interesting food. I enjoyed it

Nice path to travel next to the lake front.

Wonderfull atmosphere

Long time member, great sailing,good food, Bill whos in charge of parking is a club fixture, ,,

Excellent relaxing delicious

Gorgeous club, lovely and friendly staff and members, beautiful views!

Great location in the heart of Chicago. Long history as a great club.

I was there late evening for an outdoor event. Didnt get a chance to check out the place.

The buffers on holidays are always on point. Love having my family here.

Greatview see for yourself.

The upstairs of this facility is amazing. Has very good food and nice wood flooring with a nice wrap around couch. It has a giant boat as a building which makes the experience.

Got turned away despite having confirmed reservations from a reciprocal club. They were very curt and short with us and said to have a good night, shown the door and told to try Columbia. Columbia was also closed. Appeared to be a very uptight and uppity club unwelcoming to outsiders. Reinforces the reason why I own more aircraft than boats. Unless a current member of CYC and the current click, I would avoid this grade school type establishment.

Love this place. From this location youll have one of the best view in town. Totally recommended.

Great club to stay at if you can get a slip

Been going here since a kid. brings back such great memories. They have managed to keep everything very fresh.

Visiting reciprocity member from Michigan City, Indiana. This was our first visit to the Chicago Yacht Club. Super staff, when I arrived hostess was aware of our arrival identified me by name and made me feel like a lifelong member here and not just a visiting salt. Drinks were generous pours and very reasonable for the location (this is important for boaters). Food was awesome, server saw that we were catching up with some old friends who lived in CA. and was observant enough to give us time and space to remeness between visits to our table. This is a long time club steep in tradition and all the staff and members we ran into were nothing but friendly and helpful we had a wonderful evening. We choose to eat on the patio since our friends only had shorts to wear and slacks are understandably required to eat in the dinning room. The evening and the weather were beautiful so it worked out perfect, you sit table side right along the water front with the views of the beautiful sailboats, lake and have the backdrop of the skyline behind you. If you have the chance I highly recommend this location, cheers!

Beautiful place, special to visit at the morning and you can enjoy the sunrise moment

Great club. Nice harbor view.

Been coming to the CYC my whole life. Friendly people, great friends, fun events, great food, and spectacular views! Would highly recommend the club!

Member only club, historic Chicago feel. Amazing restaurant, even better views of the waterfront
