Well maintained private member club off of Hampton Blvd in Norfolk. Indoor and outdoor amenities include multiple pools, tennis courts, corn hole boards, workout facility, boating docks, adult beverage bar, counter service cafe with HDTV and seating, foosball table plus more. There's an entire building that's the perfect private event venue - weddings, reunions, galas and graduation parties. Crowds are common at the beginning of Summer and seasonal events, creating a domino effect on your overall experience - less available parking, less poolside space/seating, longer lines for bar and food service. The Niçoise salad I had yesterday was ok but nowhere near as good as the fresh ahi tuna steak in sesame glaze I had last August.
Some of the best water views in Norfolk. Food menu in The Deck has a great variety. Pool and fitness facilities are clean and up to date.
Friendly staff, nice well maintained pool area with a bar. We've eaten at the pool, the food was nice, very good prices. Service is friendly, good to see nice young kids working their Summer jobs. We have eaten a few times in the main restaurant, the food is always high quality, well priced, and generous portions. Servers are always really friendly. I'm not a member, I've been as a guest each time, always look forward to going.
The Norfolk Yacht Club was the venue for a friends wedding a few days ago and my first visit here. It's in a very pretty location and looks like it's been around a very long time. I felt the place to be musty and very dated. It really in my opinion needs a major renovation and updating. It gives the feel of an old white gentlemen's club, steeped in history, financial deals & networking. Just my opinion. The wedding itself was beautiful and the marina backdrop perfect. The food was top class, but I think maybe that was more to do with the wedding itself. The staff were very attentive, and eager to please. They have several sections here for events and it's the ideal location. Probably the best location as again in my opinion, Norfolk not the prettiest of places I've been.

Hi Joan, Thank you for your review. I hope you enjoyed your visit to NYCC for your friend's wedding. You're right about our club having been around for a long time, since 1896 in fact! Although, our current clubhouse was built many years later, we recognize that it needs some updates. We're in the planning stages of a Facilities Enhancement Plan to modernize our club and renovate certain areas. We think members and guests will be very pleased with the finial result. We hope you'll have a chance to visit us again in the future!
I don't know how this gets to get Yelp! But I grew up here, I was a Sea Dragon with the Swim Team, I sailed Sunfishes during Summer Sail camp, When my mother would order a screw driver without orange juice, When they promised I wouldn't be loud so we got sat on the adult side during the Wednesday buffet, And played ping-pong in the patio in 2001 before the fitness center... I'm just visiting for the Summer, but everyone that works here has been nothing but kind and respectful. Y'all have a great staff. ... Just read some reviews. People that say "dated" don't understand classic. Don't change. Coming home and my mom and I going up to the deck and just casually walking around, feels like a warm hug.
It was awesome I love the place and it deserves all the kudos although the menu is limited the things they do have are very good. The employees are very nice and helpful. Over all very great!
Great place to spend Memorial Day Weekend! Bar, grill and lots of sun combine some family time as well and couldn't think of a better place to spend the holiday! Cheers
Looking over these reviews, I can understand the varied ratings. After the long-time club manager retired, there was a transition period that resulted in food that did not meet the club's usual standards. I have dined twice recently and am happy to report that my last meal was the finest every enjoyed there and among the finest that I have ever eaten. The new menu is different, but there are ample seafood entrees and appetizer offerings; many locally sourced.

Thank you for your review Derek. We've been striving to make noticeable improvements to our member dining experience over the past few months. More great things to come! We hope you dine with us again soon.
The oyster po'boy was delicious but I am not planning to eat here again any time soon. Our waiter looked disheveled and was on his phone texting behind the bar most of the time. When he read the specials to us he had to read them off a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. He gave us plates with butter but no bread. At the end of the meal, my friend asked about it and that was when he offered us muffins. Then when we got our checks, there was already an 18% charge with an explanation that it is not considered a tip and that we should tip if we received "superior" service, which, we did not. I was upset I had to pay that extra 18% for basically nothing. For a fancy-looking place, I was not at all impressed with the service. I'm giving 2 stars only because the oyster po'boy was delicious.

Not much to rate, it's a private club on a river. Oops, except, the manager reprimanding my friends for not smoking outside in the correct area. Last time I checked, I did not know you have to be herded while smoking. I thought that was only at Innsbrook after hours in the beer circle.
