Came here for a birthday party, where the guest of honor reserved a room. I don't understand why so many county clubs are so outdated! The carpets, walls, etc. I guess patrons don't care about that. Our server was really sweet and took drink orders right away, but it went downhill with the food. Half of us got the wrong order, or items missing, or their food just didn't come! One member of our party didn't even get to place her order! I had to flag down the server to tell her. My food was wrong and was so disappointing. I was brought the veggie quinoa bowl and there was zero flavor to that. I asked where the fruit was for my kids, and she's like Oh we don't have any. Like, it's on the menu, and were you going to tell me?? I definitely won't go back there and would encourage anyone planning a party to look elsewhere.

Attended my company's Holiday event here, and it was a fantastic setting with a private indoor dining area, and also a beautiful outdoor patio area / bar for mingling. The staff was very friendly, and the food was excellent! Prime rib was delicious and the chicken was tender and flavorful. They have their own private Southwestern Yacht Club Cabernet, which was wonderful. Beautiful views right on the water. I don't have a boat, but this place inspires me to get one.

They call it the friendliest yacht club, and it's true. Each time we've been here we have met someone friendly. The servers are amazing, too. They have a small but solid menu. Beautiful views from dining area and dogs are allowed on the lower patio. It is a members only (reciprocal clubs included) and not open to the public.

Wonderful view, service and nice lunch selections. Members may invite guests to enjoy a pleasant meal.

I do not frequent many yacht clubs... You know, the club "standards" like shoes & shirt required. (Shrugs) Southwestern Yacht Club - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7v7dnlWhTwc7lW4Vex2ZiQ&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ We were at the guest slip overnight; just finished the N2E race. (i.e. - NEWPORT to enSANaDiego race) Originally, we were planning to make the sail to Ensenada but Mexico's COV-19 restrictions left plenty of room for potential problems. We were not particularly fond of being removed from the vessel; blood tested, and quarantining of the entire team... Yeh, so enSANaDiego sounded perfect! Guest Slip (Right across from the yacht club) - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Wt6PJs8SRPKeeS8TkWrZPQ&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ To say the skipper and crew were tired, hungry, and a bit edgy after the 20 hour race would be a huge understatement. BW'HA! 'And after almost a full day of sailing down the coast, one can work up quite a thirst. It was time for a drink!... 'Or three. "Okole mauna!" (Hawaiian: Bottoms up!) - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=D4EQvMMcuo4JAfP3sktkCQ&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ My libation of choice was a Modelo with a wedge of lime. Truthfully, I am not a very big drinker, less so when it comes to beer. However, I noticed a beer of choice amongst fellow sailors is Modelo. So, when in Rome, "Modelo, por favor." Front Waiting Area - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EMW4ruuSGE5icBnNW8j6LA&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ The attention & service we received at the club was great; the servers were professional, courteous, and helpful. We ate at the club twice; lunch & dinner. For lunch, I had the Boar Belly Banh Mi. My friend asked, "What is that?" Well, pork belly is not for the skinny jeans, grass grazing, tree hugging, calorie counting, spring water drinking, kind've person. Think gluttonous, artery clogging, this sh*t is sooooo bad for you, steak cut strips of bacon and that pretty much sums it up. Now, take that kept friendly, bacon steak and marry it with the traditional Vietnamese sandwich, banh mi... 'Delicious. Boar Belly Banh Mi - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Mv9NG0w4ABD7GSEYykKKQw&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ My lunch order came with a side, our waitress highly recommended the tater tots. I thought, really?... 'Tater tots? Hmph, okay, why not. All I can say is the lady knows her tots! (Thumbs up) The little golden brown cylinders of potatoes were cooked perfectly; crunchy with a light crust, moist & flavorful, and not too oily. I'd have to say it was the first time that I ever took notice of something as simple as a tater tot. Tater tot trivia: Here's a little fun fact; he actual name "tater tot" is a registered trademark of the American frozen food company, Ore-Ida. Much lot like Coke, Band-Aid, and Styrofoam... 'And the more you know. Tater Tots© - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=PIial_5QC6AyGAHFfsmIHA&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ Later that evening, we were back for dinner. The skipper was meeting his his brother-in-law and nephews at the yacht club. Again, the service was exemplary as before. The menu offered a lot of great selections, prime rib sliders, shrimp tacos, a variety of salads, fish & chips, lamb burger, chicken pot pie, meatloaf, and a 20 oz ribeye... 'My favorite cut. I just wanted something simple and Yacht Burger was the obvious choice; cooked medium. The burger's a half pound of Angus beef, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle, griddled brioche bun. (Option to add cheese or bacon) I passed on the added cheese or bacon; I used up my fatty points earlier with their pork belly sandwich at lunch. For my side, I had fries and like lunch, my meal was very good. The hamburger wasn't spectacular but for what it was, it was done well. There have been times when I've eaten @ a restaurant and thought, "How do you mess up a burger?!" HA! Had a good race, made some great memories like being caught in the doldrums at 1am, falling asleep at the helm, while trying to make it around the most northern of the Coronado Islands. Up until that point, we were making good time... 'And the rest of the race into enSANaDIEGO harbor shall never be spoken of again. I look forward to the next time I'm in the area and have the opportunity to visit the Southwestern Yacht Club again. I've thought about going a club in the Dana Point area but it always comes back to $$$, plus the fact they don''t honor coupons. Oh, yeah, and that thing called "standards." Life is Good, make it Great! Fair winds, be well, be safe. - Big Aloha, DJ Food: 4 Ambiance: 4 Service: 5 Value: 4

Very lackluster dining experience for Sunday lunch!! Though the patio was sparsely patronized, the service was abominable. Staff did not clear tables, allowing birds to pick at food left on vacant tables. Staff was exceedingly slow to take our order. Staff never checked on us during the meal. Staff never returned to fill water glasses, etc.. Then the wait for our check after our meal was exhausting. The reason they even get 2 stars is because the view and setting was pleasant, and the food was good. If my friend who is a member wants to take me here again, I'll suggest another place!!

Photo of Alexis C.

I would give one star. Except for the fact our initial server was amazing. The secondary server was horrible. He was so upset that I asked to have the bread for the sandwich I ordered be rye/white bread instead of sourdough. Then when he brought the order and they had made it with sourdough I asked him to take it back and change it. He huffed and took the sandwich around the back-not towards where he came from the kitchen. Then I didn't get my food back for 45 minutes. We were there for 3 hours and then we had to go inside and ask for the check.

I had lunch at Southwestern Yacht Club's restaurant today. I ordered their Ceasar salad. The menu claimed it was a Ceasar Salad, with croutons. I ordered it with chicken. What I got was a joke. The romaine lettuce was chopped, not torn, their verson of Ceasar dressing had not one thing in common with actual Ceasar Dressing, it came with an oil and vinegar dressing. I asked for Ceasar Dressing so they brought something that had no resemblance in any form to it. Their Ceasar Salad without a doubt was the worst Ceasar Salad I have ever experienced, anywhere. I ended up not eating it at all and settled with an order of onion rings (greasy onion rings, but edible.) We were charged the full price for whatever that salad like thing was even though I only tasted it with two forkfuls and some of the chicken. We paid it without complaint and left. Southwestern Yacht Club needs to take a serious look at just how their restaurant is being managed.

Two Southern California yacht clubs recognized on Top 50 list

south west yacht club san diego

Platinum Clubs organization names Newport Harbor YC and San Diego YC to worldwide compilation.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Newport Harbor and San Diego yacht clubs both earned a spot on the Top 50 Platinum Yacht Clubs for 2020-2021, it was recently announced. The worldwide list is compiled by Platinum Clubs of the World.

Placing on the list means a yacht club is presented with the title of “Five Star Clubs of Excellence.”

San Diego YC was founded in 1886 and has recently hosted sailing events such as Women’s Winter Invitational, Yachting Cup, the CA500, the SoCal 300, Dutch Shoe Marathon, International Masters Regatta and Lipton Cup.

Newport Harbor YC first opened its doors in 1916 and hosts the Newport to Cabo Race every two years, among other regattas.

Other yacht clubs making the Top 50 list included: Annapolis Yacht Club, Beach Point Club, Chicago Yacht Club, Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Nassau Yacht Club (Bahamas), Raffles Marina (Singapore), Real Club Nautico de Vigo (Spain), Royal Bombay Yacht Club (India), Royal Cork Yacht Club (Ireland), The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (Australia), Société des Régates du Havre (France), Yacht Club de Monaco and Yacht Club Santo Amaro (Brazil).

Two Southern California yacht clubs earned an Honorable Mention, scoring within three points of the Top 50 list: Balboa Yacht Club (Newport Beach) and California Yacht Club (Marina del Rey).

Fifty yacht clubs are selected based upon points awarded by a selected panel. A yacht club must score at least 8 points to qualify for the Top 50 list. Scoring is awarded as follows: 100 points for a top three club, 80 points for a ranking between four and 10, 60 points for 11 to 25 ranking, 40 points for 26-60 ranking, 20 points for 51-75 ranking and 10 points for 76-100 ranking.

Voting was conducted by 116 panelists from all around the world; panelists hailed from the United States, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Arab Emirates. Panelists vote every two years (odd years). Finalists are selected based upon submitted recommendations from panelists and applications from yacht clubs from around the world. A final ballot is eventually created and sent out to panelists. There is a 30-day voting period, with the election conducted electronically (via a third party).

“Points are awarded by the position and ranking that the panelist assigns to each club. The total number of points is calculated and divided by the total number of panelists who have visited a club to determine the final points score,” a Platinum Clubs of the World statement about the voting process said.

The Club Leaders Forum Advisory Board of the Platinum Clubs of the World compiled the Top 50 list. Platinum Clubs of America have been recognizing top yacht clubs for more than 20 years.
