Easily accessible, friendly staff, and well marinated club. Always a great time with the family and delicious selection at the cafe.
This is my favorite Yacht Club. The views are incredible. The staff is fantastic. The service everywhere is always spot on. We were there helping them out on a Championship Regatta and have noticed they are doing more of this type event which is soo great and helpful to sailing in general. I love the upstairs bar and porch which is over 21 only and has a bathroom. The ocean view is incredible and much of the year has an incredible sea breeze which despite their lack of AC it is comfortable almost all the time. Downstairs they have an awesome snack bar and all sorts of things for the kids to do. They have a great area across the street where all the boats are kept. They have some of their own and some owned by members. They really are one of the best organizations on the East Coast when it comes to sailing and that is very important to keep that accessible. I know that I will be back either sailing or helping with an event. Great memories from this place. Looking forward to making even more.

For more than 30 years Harbour Town Yacht Club has been the centerpiece of Hilton Head Island at its best. The founder’s vision is alive here today.
Harbour Town Yacht Club has been recognized as the epitome of Sea Pines living. Founded not only for yacht owners, but for anyone who appreciates being at the heart of things, we have been home to the accomplished, the gracious, the perceptive for more than 30 years.
