Membership Restaurant at Lahaina Yacht Club

Lahaina Yacht Club is an ocean-side restaurant in the middle of Lahaina.  It’s at:

835 Front Street Lahaina, HI 96761 808-661-0191

About Lahaina Yacht Club

In order to eat at Lahaina Yacht Club (LYC), you must be a member of this club or a member of another yacht club with reciprocity. Membership here costs $500 initiation plus $500 per year dues, and you need to be sponsored by two club members. The only way around those fees is to eat here as a guest of a member, which is the way I got in.  You don’t have to own a boat to be a member.  And there are other benefits for membership besides being able to dine here, such as involvement in yacht races, sailing programs, and the camaraderie of other members.

This restaurant is next door to very similar restaurants with the same oceanfront views along this part of Front Street in Lahaina.  Those others are Kimo’s , Koa’s, and Lahaina Fish Co .  None of those require any membership, so you can eat there without the need to join the Lahaina Yacht Club.

LYC is open for lunch, dinner, and happy hour.  They have prime rib night on Tuesdays and lobster night on Thursdays. The regular lunch menu includes several choices of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and entree plates. The dinner menu is longer, with the addition of many full-size meat and seafood entrees, plus several side dishes. At happy hour (3 to 5 PM) there are a few appetizers and snacks, and a different entree for each day of the week.

See below for the Lahaina Yacht Club menu list and food photos.

Lahaina Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

The Yacht Club is a member-only restaurant/bar located in the center of downtown Lahaina directly on the water front. We went as guests of two members and arrived in plenty of time to enjoy the sunset over Lanai. We enjoyed the good selection of draft... beers and wines while enjoying the tremendous views. We ate lots of appetizers and ordered a smallish dinner. The apps were excellent and the small dinners were also quite good. Service was excellent. It's cozy and we really enjoyed the vibe. More

A Members Only Club! Visiting yachtsman, other Yacht Club members and guests are always welcome but reservations is a MUST. The Staff is very friendly and there to see you have a good time. You can't beat the view and while other restaurants on Front... Street boast waterfront dining the Lahaina Yacht Club is not just water front, they are over the water literally. We have had four dinners here and the food was superb on each visit and our server Zeb was so attentive and nice. We always had a great time and were welcomed warmly. More

We went for happy hour with a group of friends. The food and drinks were excellent and the happy hour prices are very reasonable. The service was very friendly although a bit slow, especially as more patrons arrived. The Molokai beef burger was excellent. Keep... in mind that someone in the party either needs to be a LYC member or a member of a reciprocal yacht club. More

Went for Lobster Thursday - I thought our lobsters were mediocre at best - they weren't hot when they arrived at our table. The bruschetta, however, was insanely delicious. Service was friendly but erratic. We dined courtesy of a friend who's a member. Not one... of my more memorable meals. More

We were a large party and came on one of their Lobster nights. Service was perfunctory. Setting is pretty. Most of us ordered Lobster, and the meal consisted of a boiled lobster and a small cup of melted butter and a small wedge of lemon.... And that is IT! No vegetable. No garnish of parsley. No bib, extra napkins or wet naps provided. Meal was very expensive and the lobster was only fair—mealy claw meat and tough tail meat. A big disappointment. Several of our party belong to the Lahaina Yacht club and several others are reciprocal members. While I appreciated the ambiance, I see no need to ever return. More

NEW MENU with loads of good options. Primerib every night except Sun. when only bar service available. LYC is a membership location .so needed to be a member, a reciprocol member from another yacht club, or guest of a member. Try it out, especially, if... you are a member and haven't been since the new menu. Chexk out my photos; prime rib, scallops, and baby wedge salad. More

We were at the Lahaina Yacht Club for a private event and it was fabulous. The venue was perfect. Sharlene went out of her way to make sure everything was just right. The meal was delicious. I can't say enough good things!

What a gem. I was able to use my reciprocal yacht club membership & had a great dinner here. Super friendly and welcoming staff...great drinks/food....live music and a beautiful waterfront view.

LYC has the best waterfront in town, great service, delicious food and fantastic value! We absolutely love this place! I always order the pork ribs and coconut rice and they are always tasty! Lobster night is also good! If you are a member of a... yacht club, you must go here or look at joining it! You won't be disappointed!! More

My future son in law has reciprocity from his local yacht club, so he got us in. Its a beautiful spot on the ocean. Casual and not overly crowded. Food was good, and not overpriced.

It was nice to have the welcome that we had. Good thing we brought our Yacht Club card, we did get asked to show it because it was a private club. We had a great time and met a hand full of really nice people,... they were very welcoming. More

We dropped in for lunch and had an excellent time! The food was great, ocean front dining view, exceptional service and everyone was very friendly. I am sure this club receives more than their share of out of town guests, but we were made to... feel right at home. The Ceviche was particularly good as were the Ahi and Mahi-Mahi sandwiches. My only regret is that we didn't know about Thursday lobster night until it was too late for reservations. Next time!! (NOTE: Remember to bring your local yacht club membership card for entry). More

My old stomping ground I was a member for years, walked in an Thumper sponsored my group he was a boAt captain in the 70-90's, we had a Mai Tai. and then lunch it was wonderful great service and tasty meal and the view and... the memories were special. It is club but if you are in town there is usually a friendly member if you ask nice who will sponsor you! ask for Thumper!! More

Not many places offer FRESH whole lobsters so put THURSDAYs at LYC on your schedule of places to have dinner. It is a private club. They have receptical services with many other yacht clubs and if not a member go as a guest of a... member. Food prices are affordable, other menu items, and ocean front smack dab in the middle of Front Street in Lahaina town Hope you go. More

This is another good restaurant in Lahaina with ocean views. We came with friends who were Yacht Club Members, so I don't know if it is open to the general public, but the food and service is good and the views can't be beat. Enjoy.

Lahaina Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Facing the ocean, members only restaurant, our friend Thumper signed us in. Service was very friendly, we started with New Zealand sauvignon blanc, with calamari. We had their chef’s special of Thai chicken wrap and Hawaiian opa, was spectacular! We finished with a port wine,... More

We've been twice for dinner in the last week, both times were very nice, quite quiet, excellent food, good service

They have a great ocean / sunset view. The food was equally as good. They also sell shirts and hats next door,

The waiter was talkative & attentive. The food was very good, particularly the fish special and twice baked potato. My party had a most enjoyable dining experience.

You've got to go with someone who is a member, but if you do, the Lahaina Yacht Club is a great place - with great harbor views - for lunch or dinner. Put out of you mind "posh yacht club" and insert "funky bar sort... More

We went with our son and his wife...finally made it there! Decor is as it should be...sailing...true to its name. Bar is located as you enter with open air dining by the water. There is a stairway down to the water. Kids can take sailing... More

We were guests here on a Saturday night. The ambience was great, the sounds of the guy playing the saxophone were soothing, and the food and drink excellent. Great place to come on our first night in Lahaina! Loved it!

When we are in Maui the first thing we do is organize a lunch at the Lahaina Yacht Club.We usually get 10 to 20 friends together and enjoy excellent food and a view to die for as the restaurant is completely open to the ocean.Any... More

you must be a member to dine here - had a table for dinner on the deck over the ocean. Delicious food, good drinks, ocean is lit up so you can see the fish swimming there - toss them some bread and watch them!

We really love stopping in for a beer and some appetizers during the day. The atmosphere is clubby and the view to die for. Stuffed mushrooms, shrimp and onion rings are awesome apps. Staff is very friendly, especially Joni who is perfectly suited for her... More

Simply the most wonderful spot on Maui for dinner and or drinks. The service is world class. You must be a current member of a yacht club to gain access.

We met up with a local yacht club member Casey. Poke appetizer is so delicious and a great value here. We also had pork nachos, sliders, wine and mixed drinks. It has a local vibe and when the bartender comes to serve you be ready... More

Harness the Wind

Catch a ride on the salty breeze with Lahaina Yacht Club.

Story by Shannon Wianecki | Photography by Ben Ferrari

As we leave Lahaina Harbor, the Pacific Ocean is a velvet blue expanse with hardly a white nick of wind. The late morning breeze, though light, is still strong enough to propel a sailboat. That’s good, because today is the first regatta of the Lahaina Yacht Club’s 2016 season, and I’m excited to help monitor the action from aboard the race committee boat.

Ian Ponting attempts to measure the wind speed with a tiny wind vane attached to his cellphone. “Eight knots on the geekometer,” he crows, pleased with his gadget’s accuracy. Ponting serves as rear commodore, in charge of the club’s races both big and small. As we motor out into the deep blue, he and fellow club member Dan O’Hanlon heave huge yellow buoys overboard to mark today’s course. Unlike racetracks on land, regatta courses are contingent on wind direction and shift accordingly during a race. Other contingencies Lahaina yachters might encounter? Whales and submarines.

Eight trim sailboats approach the start line. Among them are Snickers , the club’s own Olson 30, and Gung Ho, the fastest boat in today’s lineup. The boat captains trade friendly banter, jockey for position, and try not to ram into one another—or worse, lose their wind. Ideally, when the start horn shrieks, they’ll sail between the buoys on a strong tack.

O’Hanlon and Ponting synchronize their watches. I raise the four-minute signal flag. O’Hanlon hollers out a ten-second countdown and then blasts the horn: the race is on! Sails fill and surge forward. O’Hanlon immediately shoots up a flag, alerting a boat that it crossed the line prematurely. Gung Ho must maneuver back to the start, losing precious minutes. Gung Ho’s captain and owner, Keahi Ho, takes the penalty in stride. Competition during these club regattas is just stiff enough to make the races fun.

Yachting is a relatively small sport on Maui—which is surprising until you consider the limiting factors. Hawai‘i is a far reach from everywhere; sailing to or from this isolated archipelago is a major commitment. Sailing within Hawai‘i isn’t easy, either. Small-boat harbors are few and far between here, and slips are in high demand. The channels separating the Islands are infamous, known worldwide for their volatile seas and currents. When you leave a Hawaiian harbor, you enter the wilderness of the open ocean.

That wilderness is a siren’s call to some, such as beloved restaurateur Floyd Christenson . Back in the 1960s, he and his family sailed around the South Pacific before setting anchor in Maui and opening Mama’s Fish House, one of the most successful restaurants in the state. He and a handful of other sailors founded the Lahaina Yacht Club in 1965. They transformed a dilapidated laundry on Front Street into an oceanfront clubhouse and contracted Hawaiian artist Sam Ka‘ai to design a burgee—the pennant that identifies the club. Ka‘ai drew a white sperm whale on a red backing.

“I grew up with that logo on everything,” says Ponting. Like most club members, he honed his appetite for yachting elsewhere before moving to Hawai‘i. He’s originally from the Bay Area, but his family has been entwined with Lahaina Yacht Club for decades. In 1974 his uncle won the club’s showcase regatta, the Vic–Maui. Held every other year since 1968, the international yacht race starts in Victoria, Canada, and ends roughly two weeks later in Kā‘anapali. When a boat arrives at the finish line—no matter what time of day—club members greet it with banners, refreshments, and flower lei.

Naturally, when Ponting moved to Maui sixteen years ago, he gravitated to the club. “It was kind of seedy back then,” he admits. Aside from the Vic–Maui, “there was no sailing.” It’s well known that sailing clubs without active boating programs become drinking clubs. For close to twenty years, the “yacht” part of the Lahaina Yacht Club languished while its sailors waited for a slip to open up in Lahaina Harbor. Finally, eight years ago, the harbormaster called. Once the club had a place to park a boat, they bought one: Snickers .

Today, Snickers trails behind the other yachts in the race. The current leaders, Noa and Boondoggle, approach the first mark, a buoy they have to clear. Gung Ho suddenly darts between them, having jibed from far behind. In one sleek maneuver, Gung Ho has stitched up its lost time. All three boats round the mark in perfect sync. Their crews strike the jib sails and hoist silky spinnakers, which inflate like brilliant balloons.

Soon the entire fleet is sailing with the wind towards the finish line. The spinnakers cut a colorful swath across the backdrop of the West Maui Mountains. On calm days like this, sailing is a profoundly serene sport. But even on gusty days when the wind roars through the rigging, a sailor’s inner ear registers the absence of an engine’s high-pitched wail—registers and rejoices. To harness the wind, to hitch a ride on the planet’s very breath is a kind of magic.

O’Hanlon and Ponting keep an eye out for humpback whales, and for the Atlantis Submarine, which has surprised a yacht captain or two in the past by surfacing unexpectedly. As Snickers passes by, they assure me that she’s not a slow boat, but is often skippered by captains and crews in training. The chance to sail her is one of the perks of club membership.

The perks are many. Throughout the year, the club hosts numerous regattas and fishing tournaments. Members have exclusive access to the clubhouse that hangs over the water on Front Street. They can flash their membership card to gain entrance at almost any yacht club in the world—including posh addresses in San Francisco or Shanghai. And, perhaps best of all, Lahaina Yacht Club offers junior and adult sailing lessons.

“We’re trying to nurture the community,” says Ponting, who helped launch the club’s junior sail program in 2009. “It was the most sought-after summer camp on the island—with no advertising.” The club now hosts Hawai‘i’s largest junior regatta. “Teaching kids how to sail gives them a great sense of self, responsibility, and teamwork.”

Teamwork is essential in the final moments of today’s race, to capitalize on the building breeze. As each yacht crosses the finish line, I record its time down to the seconds. We won’t know the official winners until O’Hanlon calculates the scores based on each boat’s handicap. The last boat limps in lazily, its crew already cracking open beers. We motor off to retrieve the buoys and catch several humpbacks frolicking. We dive into the deep blue, to listen to their underwater songs—yet another perk of the sailing life.

A few hours later, the clubhouse fills with sailors freshened up and ready to celebrate. Trophies from past regattas glitter behind the bar and colorful burgees from yacht clubs around the world hang from the rafters. The chef piles snacks onto the crowded tables. I sit down beside Nancy Goode, who crewed today on Boondoggle . She remembers the moment she discovered the power of sailing, forty years ago in Southern California. A boat captain handed her a line and told her when to pull on it. She felt the boat move faster. She was hooked.

Goode and her boyfriend planned to sail around the world. When he decided to go without her, two fellows from Alaska found her crying on the dock. We’re sailing to Hawai‘i tomorrow, they said. She joined them. Upon landing in Lahaina, she got a job on a trimaran, leading snorkel tours. She now skippers monthly ladies’ sails, introducing other women to the wonders of travelling by wind.

O’Hanlon interrupts the socializing to announce the regatta’s winners: Noa places first, Gung Ho second. Jeff Kaiser, the gracious club commodore, stands to make another announcement. “Twenty years ago, Kea Ho won Sportsman of the Year,” he says. “History repeats itself. I’d like to congratulate his son, Nalu Ho, for winning Sportsman of the Year in 2015.” The deserving eighth-grader recently sailed with his father to Tahiti and back. He grins shyly and accepts his award—clearly a club member in the making. Meanwhile, Goode locks eyes with me and pencils my name in for her next ladies’ sail.

Attend a regatta:  Lahaina Yacht Club hosts regattas year-round. You can hitch a ride on a yacht for the day, enter your own boat in the race, volunteer aboard the committee boat, or help welcome the incoming Vic–Maui racers. View the club’s calendar online.

Learn to sail:   Lahaina Yacht Club offers five-day sailing lessons for adults (co-ed and women only) and juniors (ages nine to fifteen). Novice sailors should know how to swim, have strength enough to hoist a sail, bring gloves, and wear layered clothing and sun protection. Adults: $200 member, $400 nonmember. Juniors: $250 member, $300 nonmember

Become a club member:   Two existing members need to sponsor you. Attend some of the events above and you’re on your way. Visit Lyc.us or call 808-661-0191.

Lahaina Yacht Club

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

The Yacht Club is a member-only restaurant/bar located in the center of downtown Lahaina directly on the water front. We went as guests of two members and arrived in plenty of time to enjoy the sunset over Lanai. We enjoyed the good selection of draft... beers and wines while enjoying the tremendous views. We ate lots of appetizers and ordered a smallish dinner. The apps were excellent and the small dinners were also quite good. Service was excellent. It's cozy and we really enjoyed the vibe. More

A Members Only Club! Visiting yachtsman, other Yacht Club members and guests are always welcome but reservations is a MUST. The Staff is very friendly and there to see you have a good time. You can't beat the view and while other restaurants on Front... Street boast waterfront dining the Lahaina Yacht Club is not just water front, they are over the water literally. We have had four dinners here and the food was superb on each visit and our server Zeb was so attentive and nice. We always had a great time and were welcomed warmly. More

We went for happy hour with a group of friends. The food and drinks were excellent and the happy hour prices are very reasonable. The service was very friendly although a bit slow, especially as more patrons arrived. The Molokai beef burger was excellent. Keep... in mind that someone in the party either needs to be a LYC member or a member of a reciprocal yacht club. More

Went for Lobster Thursday - I thought our lobsters were mediocre at best - they weren't hot when they arrived at our table. The bruschetta, however, was insanely delicious. Service was friendly but erratic. We dined courtesy of a friend who's a member. Not one... of my more memorable meals. More

We were a large party and came on one of their Lobster nights. Service was perfunctory. Setting is pretty. Most of us ordered Lobster, and the meal consisted of a boiled lobster and a small cup of melted butter and a small wedge of lemon.... And that is IT! No vegetable. No garnish of parsley. No bib, extra napkins or wet naps provided. Meal was very expensive and the lobster was only fair—mealy claw meat and tough tail meat. A big disappointment. Several of our party belong to the Lahaina Yacht club and several others are reciprocal members. While I appreciated the ambiance, I see no need to ever return. More

NEW MENU with loads of good options. Primerib every night except Sun. when only bar service available. LYC is a membership location .so needed to be a member, a reciprocol member from another yacht club, or guest of a member. Try it out, especially, if... you are a member and haven't been since the new menu. Chexk out my photos; prime rib, scallops, and baby wedge salad. More

We were at the Lahaina Yacht Club for a private event and it was fabulous. The venue was perfect. Sharlene went out of her way to make sure everything was just right. The meal was delicious. I can't say enough good things!

What a gem. I was able to use my reciprocal yacht club membership & had a great dinner here. Super friendly and welcoming staff...great drinks/food....live music and a beautiful waterfront view.

LYC has the best waterfront in town, great service, delicious food and fantastic value! We absolutely love this place! I always order the pork ribs and coconut rice and they are always tasty! Lobster night is also good! If you are a member of a... yacht club, you must go here or look at joining it! You won't be disappointed!! More

My future son in law has reciprocity from his local yacht club, so he got us in. Its a beautiful spot on the ocean. Casual and not overly crowded. Food was good, and not overpriced.

It was nice to have the welcome that we had. Good thing we brought our Yacht Club card, we did get asked to show it because it was a private club. We had a great time and met a hand full of really nice people,... they were very welcoming. More

We dropped in for lunch and had an excellent time! The food was great, ocean front dining view, exceptional service and everyone was very friendly. I am sure this club receives more than their share of out of town guests, but we were made to... feel right at home. The Ceviche was particularly good as were the Ahi and Mahi-Mahi sandwiches. My only regret is that we didn't know about Thursday lobster night until it was too late for reservations. Next time!! (NOTE: Remember to bring your local yacht club membership card for entry). More

My old stomping ground I was a member for years, walked in an Thumper sponsored my group he was a boAt captain in the 70-90's, we had a Mai Tai. and then lunch it was wonderful great service and tasty meal and the view and... the memories were special. It is club but if you are in town there is usually a friendly member if you ask nice who will sponsor you! ask for Thumper!! More

Not many places offer FRESH whole lobsters so put THURSDAYs at LYC on your schedule of places to have dinner. It is a private club. They have receptical services with many other yacht clubs and if not a member go as a guest of a... member. Food prices are affordable, other menu items, and ocean front smack dab in the middle of Front Street in Lahaina town Hope you go. More

This is another good restaurant in Lahaina with ocean views. We came with friends who were Yacht Club Members, so I don't know if it is open to the general public, but the food and service is good and the views can't be beat. Enjoy.

An Ode to Lahaina

Published on September 7th, 2023 by Editor -->

It was August 8 when fires fanned out across Maui, and a day later when it became known that Lahaina Town, home of Lahaina Yacht Club, had been destroyed. In this report by Neil Rabinowitz for Cruising World, he reflects on the magnitude of this loss:

I came to Lahaina from the south. After 13 days on an unleashed reach out of French Polynesia, I clung to the mast top, my legs wrapped in a death grip. We swung west into Alenuihaha Channel, known to Hawaiians as the river of laughing waters. The sun blazed and the trades howled as 20-foot rollers raced up our stern and frothed over the rails.

Flying our heaviest chute was risky, as the channel boiled with towering whitecaps, but the Beach Boys blared from the deck speakers, and Maui loomed ahead in all its verdant glory. Cobalt-blue waves cascaded on the approaching lava rocks of Kaupo. Hana stood lush to the east, with the Big Island’s Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea silhouetted to the south.

I hadn’t been back to America in years, and I now charged full-tilt—unvanquished from the south seas under a swollen spinnaker, drunk on Brian Wilson. – Full report

Editor’s note : Lahaina Yacht Club is currently without a clubhouse, but they intend to carry on their activities while seeking to secure a temporary facility and planning for their rebuild. To make a donation, click here .

About Hope Rising Lahaina

Photo: CNN News

Aloha and welcome aboard the Hope Rising Lahaina Yacht Club Project. All profits will support the club and the rebuilding of the clubhouse.

Founded in 1965, the Lahaina Yacht Club has been a haven for generations of kama’aina, members, guests, and visitors from clubs around the world. Sailors, fisherman, ocean enthusiasts, and even landlubbers were immediately met with aloha and advised to make themselves at home.

Walking through the saloon doors felt like a journey through history in real-time. The present has destroyed our clubhouse, sailboats, and ocean vessels. However, our future is bright. The members & guests are the heart & soul of our club.

We will rebuild. We will return. Until the day we can welcome you home again, please stand with us by participating in our Hope Rising campaign.

The Lahaina Yacht Club extends to you Mahalo Nui Loa for your kokua and your business.
