End of Long Island end of the road beginning of the Atlantic Ocean. Montauk Yacht Club sits on Star Island overlooking the marina and there is a specific moment when you pull in after the two and a half hour drive from the city the air changes your shoulders drop and you realize you are finally breathing. That is what this place gives you. The property is classic East End not flashy Hamptons not trying to impress. Just boats water sunset and some of the best seafood on the island. The cocktails at the bar are strong and the bartender knows how to read a room. I have sat out on the deck watching fishing boats come in at golden hour and it is the most New York thing you can do while feeling a million miles from New York. The rooms are clean and comfortable nothing over the top just exactly what you need after a day on the water. The restaurant does a solid lobster roll and the raw bar is always fresh. Montauk has gotten more popular over the years and some of that old fishing village charm is fading but the Yacht Club still holds onto it. This is where the island exhales. No velvet ropes no guest lists no attitude. Just salt air cold drinks and the sound of the ocean doing what it has done forever. Everyone needs a place like this. Montauk is mine.

These guys will charge you $100 for "access to all of our amenities, fitness center, pools, shore cruises ect" on top of what you already paid ---- Edit: be aware when you book this place on agoda. Agoda will charge you $100 "surcharge fee", but when you check in, hotel will charge you another $100 for the same reason. Overall the place is good. People are friendly. Food is not bad. Location is good.

I had such a great experience thanks to Mr. Peeters! He helped us get into the room we needed so effortlessly and gave us an amazing welcome. He made sure I had everything I needed for my stay and went above and beyond with his professionalism. Very impressive young man, I’ll definitely be returning!

We got married here and came back for our 10 year anniversary. The hotel has changed hands a couple of times in that time but they’ve got it right this time. The rooms are very nicely decorated, beds comfy, and the service is top notch. Highly recommend.

My husband and I really wanted a nice weekend away with our 5 month old baby. We thought going to a place charging $1100 a night would be a bit more upscale and better. How wrong we were. First when we entered the room, there was a massive wasp flying around inside. Next we specifically asked for a crib and when they forgot to put it in room. When they brought it, the sheets were visibly dirty. Later that night when we came back we wanted to relax in our room, but they had the loudest DJ outside you would have thought you were sleeping next to the DJ booth. We went to reception the next morning to change rooms, and while they did accommodate us, they rushed us to get out of the room we were currently in. We decided we wanted to go to the pool but were told we were not allowed to use the main pool which is now “adults only” and were told we could use the pool down the road. This pool had no pool side service (like the adult pool does). Later that night in our room you could still hear the DJ even though not as loud. The room next to us decided to throw a party in their room and I called the front desk to break it up and they did send someone, but whoever they sent literally said to the guest “an annoying guest needs you to stop the party. Let me comp you drinks at the bar”. An annoying guest? I had a 5 month old infant in the room and paid $2200 for 2 days!!! They didn’t even offer a free breakfast, drink or anything to us. My advice - don’t waste your money. It’s a glorified motel and they are not great at hospitality.

We were greeting by amazing front desk staff. They were interns from Italy, pleasant polite and helpful. We were upgraded to beach front room which was an incredible site to see. Maureen in the concierge was very helpful and booked our complimentary boat ride with Captain Paul. The food was amazing both at the food truck ,which is located by the family friendly pool, accompanied by a sand field, hammocks, and cornhole for entertainment, and the main restaurant. Family Friendly and Dog friendly. My children had a blast!

We had the BEST experience at Montauk Yacht Club! We recently had a wedding in Montauk and hosted a welcome event here, and this was by far the best vendor we worked with all weekend!! Everyone on the staff was so attentive, helpful, and kind (big big thank you to Alex, Anna, and everyone else!!!). They were amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly with no stress on our end. The food is incredible - for a date night, a big group, or a large event, the quality is always top notch. I love to grab dinner here all the time, and our party guests were all talking about it being the best wedding food they've ever had. And the restaurant has more than just delicious food and drinks, it also has a very chic ambiance and frequently has amazing live music. We stayed here as hotel guests for a weekend and had a great experience, and we had a room block for our wedding guests and they all raved about how wonderful everything was. The location and beautiful water views can't be beat. 1000/10 will definitely be back!
