Love love love this yacht club on the water ! Once you get the FRONT DESK staff to warm up to ya - it's a great place for drinks at the bar !

Mr Oliver took great care of us . The head Chef came by and talked to us about some of the new dishes like Escargot and the Oysters with caviar. Jo also came by to say hello and serve us coffee! The evening made Joyce's Birthday special!

Naples Yacht club has the best food sources and the best Seafood buffet. The service is always tops. The Yorkshire pudding (Bread) is done to perfection! It ranks on top with Royal Ponciana!

Everything I have eaten here shows a well thought out approach to preparing and cooking! I love Yorkshire pudding (pop egg muffins) and even though it seems a waste their Hamburgers are the best. Eating here is Luxury at it's best! Service is always amazing!

Boaters' Grille, Naples Yacht Club, Snow Ball of Naples New Comers, 7 December 2019, 80 participants. Banquet, dancing, dinner. House red wine was awful. Filet and vegetables excellent, potatoes poor, appetizers ordinary, desert good even if coconut was difficult to chew. Good view. Service generally good, but neglectful at times, and unaware of protocol. A strange mixture of inappropriate wine glasses.

Went to dinner with my husband last night. We sat in the bar/lounge area for a PRE-dinner cocktail. Great ambiance in that area and enjoyed my French 75 ! About 40 minutes later we got up and were seated in the dining room. We could have sat outdoors facing the water and yachts but we chose to stay inside. Terrific service. Menu was great and the food was superb. This is a member only club, but with reciprocity from our country club we were able to enjoy it!! We will definitely return!!
