The Yacht Club

The Yacht Club is a waterfront dining, drinking, and events destination – a full New York City block in the sky – on the 10th floor of Chelsea's 1930s masterpiece of industrial architecture, the landmarked Starrett Lehigh building.

Created by Crew, the team behind "The Absolute Best Waterfront Dining in New York City" (New York Magazine), The Yacht Club has been hailed as NYC's "restaurant of the summer" (New York Post) and praised as the perfect summer escape with its sophisticated waterfront dining experience (TimeOut New York). The venue features inspired spaces for every occasion: a 125-seat nautically themed destination restaurant with panoramic Hudson River and Manhattan skyline views; two 10,000 square foot outdoor terraces replete with cocktail bars, cabanas, and lounge seating; a stunning private dining room and cocktail bar; and an ensemble of fully equipped event and conference spaces.

Following in the footsteps of Crew's widely celebrated seafood restaurants and cocktail bars, The Yacht Club serves refined, sustainably-sourced, coastal cuisine. The menu ranges from overflowing raw bar towers to charbroiled Lobster Frites and locally sourced fish and game, all complemented by classic and seasonal beverages of the highest caliber: summery Spritzes, frozen Negronis, subzero Martinis, and the signature Yacht Club Manhattan.

Conceived by lifelong sailors, Alex and Miles Pincus (the brothers behind Crew), The Yacht Club is the culmination of a lifetime of creating waterborne and waterfront venues that have "changed the way New Yorkers eat and drink" (CNN). With its elegant vintage atmosphere featuring walnut booths, vintage Art Deco sconces, and rope-wrapped columns that transport guests to "a yacht club a century ago or more," the venue serves as the de facto clubhouse for Crew's acclaimed fleet of historic vessels, including America's oldest yacht, Coronet (1885); the National Historic Landmark, Victory Chimes (1900); and New York's last surviving Oyster Barge, Margaret (ca 1830). The Yacht Club reinvigorates and enlivens our collective relationship to the waterfront.
