Coronado Cays Yacht Club

Great venue on the water. Extra deals for military parties. Dan (catering manager) couldn’t have been more helpful throughout the planning and execution of a graduation party with over 70 people in attendance (event went off without a hitch). I will seek them out again for future events and recommend them to others.

So they don’t get 5 stars just because I haven’t eaten at the restaurant nor have I used their event services. I have been to the bar and used the marina. Their staff is great.
Positives
Great location and being in the Cays means no tourists or at least very few
Great staff, super helpful and great attitudes
Wonderful view
Marina is very well kept up
Negatives
None really but the people living in the Cays can be a little snooty which is always funny since most people there are new money — you also run across a few of the $ 30K millionaires.
Definitely worth checking out if you have an event or just want to have cocktails and enjoy the sunset without the Coronado craziness. Keep in mind their office, restaurant and bar all have different hours if your trying to reach them, start at their website.

Without a doubt, the best location and service available in Coronado and beyond, to celebrate any special event. Larry Sangis is as good as it gets when planning and organizing your event. He went above and beyond the call of duty when helping us plan the Memorial Service we held for my Father on August 15^th of this year. He even recommended food items not on the menu and they all turned out to be the talk of the event. In addition to Larry, Chef Luciano and team were awesome. Not only was the food delicious and the customer service outstanding, but they made us and all of our guests feel like we were at home. I would highly recommend this location and team to anyone for any and all of their special events. Thanks again Larry and team for all that you did to make this a once in a lifetime event for the greatest man I know, David J. Murphy Sr. Sincerely, The Murphy Family!

We held my Fathers remembrance celebration at the CCYC. Larry the manager was outstanding and so easy to work with. The food was impeccable and delicious. chef Luciano was amazing and the staff was attentive and friendly. The venue was incredible, indoor and outdoor, with some of the best views in San Diego from the bay. It was serene, peaceful and visually beautiful. This was absolutely one of the best locations in Coronado for any type of gathering! My thanks to Larry and staff for such a wonderful day and celebration!

Thank you Larry Sangis your generous hospitality to THE USS SAMPSON DDG 102 and their families for the Chief Pinning ceremony.

Thank you CCYC, for hosting the fabulous «Celebration of Life» on August 15, 2015 for my Amazing Father, Dave Murphy! It could not have been more perfect, it accommated everyone. The kids were nearly unseen playing outside, adults scattered inside and out. The food was delicious, the staff excellent, a perfect venue for our Wake and our humongous family & friends! Thank you in helping make our SPECIAL day PERFECT!

We had our wedding at the Coronado Cays Yacht Club and highly recommend it! Huge thanks to Larry, and Chef Luciano for helping to make our wedding perfect! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful! We feel so lucky we found this place, and everyone loved it!

CCYC is a beautiful venue with a great staff to help plan and organize your event. While they are hands-​off day of (ie not a coordinator) they were very helpful leading up to our wedding in May 2015 to make sure everything was perfect. Larry (manager) was extremely helpful answering questions and being available during both our tasting and the rehearsal to make sure all aspect for the big day were covered.
We were even lucky enough to have a member boat pull up to the dock before the ceremony, while we were taking pictures before everyone arrived. They let us step onboard for a few pictures once they were tied up. There are some great spots for pictures on the CCYC property, and in the adjoining field (just watch out for the ants). Our photographer seemed to love the diversity of shots he could get as much as we loved the venue.
Luciano (head chef) was fantastic. The food was all delicious, and served in ample portions that are rarely seen at weddings (coming from someone who eats a lot). Multiple guests commented to us after the fact «ohh my gosh the steaks were huge.» We even had some custom orders for the day that are not on their menu, which were done perfectly. The bar staff was fantastic too, remembering some of the specific tastes /​custom orders of some guests.

There are few days in one’s life that are as memorable and hectic as the wedding day. However, Larry (the club manager) made our day as least stressful as imaginable.
In fact, this venue and staff are so helpful and accommodating that my wife and I were always at ease in the planning. The staff demonstrated the utmost professionalism, and was always available for questions and communication.
The venue is beautiful, and for our January wedding, we had brilliant weather. The food is terrific, and the attention to detail by the head chef was awesome.
In all honesty, I would consider becoming a club member just to enjoy the great staff and community at the coronado cays yacht club.

I had an unbelievable time at my wedding and the Coronado Cays Yacht club had a major role in that. The staff, specifically Larry, was beyond friendly, helpful, and attentive every step of the way. The location has beautiful, panoramic views of the bay, is spacious, and gives you an overall nautical feel. We were able to host our cocktail hour outside on the deck and move the later part of the wedding indoors. The yacht club is super flexible and cater to your needs. You do have to use their onsite catering and bar but you won’t regret it. The chef is amazing and cooked us the best italian dinner for almost 200 guests. During cocktail hour, my husband and I wanted a special dish that represents where he is from and the CCYC was able to work with that request. Super special that they were able to do this for us. They also give you the entire day to set up for your day and can be there until 11pm. Not typical for some of the other vendors. Free parking, you can use of all their rooms, they already have cute hanging lights up so the place already sets the tone for a nice setup. I received so many compliments from my guests on how pleased they were with the site.
Highly recommend CCYC. Special thanks to Larry for making it a beautiful day!

We recently had our wedding here in June and this is the perfect venue for a wedding. Everything was provided by the Club, there’s no no for rentals or catering because everything was provided, from the altar, tables and food. The food is 5 star quality! We order the chicken roulade, seared salmon, and Eggplant Parmesan. There were no complaints :). The event coordinator, Larry, helped us find the perfect dishes and drinks to accommodate all of our needs and requests.
The place itself is surrounded by water and a view to die for! There were no fees for parking and the place is what San Diego is all about. The service was excellent and very courteous. If you are looking for venue, I highly recommend the Coronada Cays Yacht Club. Vinny and Phiny June 2014

It has been few months since my wedding and I have been slacking on review but I finally got some time to do it. I highly recommend this place for wedding venues! Any other event as well. Place is beautiful, surrounded by water and service is top notch! Every question I had they were thee for me and my wife. Very friendly and courteous. Facilities were amazing and clean. Food deserves 6 stars! All of my friends are still raving about the food. Do not miss this place if you planing a wedding. Great place!

Great place for a day boat ride. I just got a new hunt yacht and love coming down here to drive around. Great wind and clear water. I love racing with the other members.

Surrounded by water with a refreshing sea breeze, the Coronado Cays Yacht Club was a fabulous place to hold my retirement ceremony and reception. Larry and Tish were accommodating and very helpful. Nick worked closely with me to ensure the meal was first class.
Pros:
–Private and secluded feeling, not teeming with tourists.
–Guests don’t have to pay for parking.
–Guests can stay late to party until 11 PM.
–Option to have gondolas bring you to your ceremony.
–Beautiful panoramic water scenery.
–Option to have ceremony on lawn directly under the sun or under a covered patio.
Definitely recommend CCYC for your ceremony.

The CCYC is awesome for members as well as wedding parties ! The people are welcoming and fun, and will readily extend an invitation to go sailing, power boating, or electric boating to those of us without boats. The place is very well managed by Scott, Mark and Tisha. Longtime employees Nick and Lori add a special touch to wining and dining, and Chef Benito turns out some excellent specials. The current Commodore is a classy lady by the name of Mary Youngman. At the CCYC there are lots of activities on and off the water, from fishing tournaments, electric boat contests and beer can sail racing to Team Trivia, raft ups, and Commodores’ Balls.
