I really have no way of judging...we are just interested in a Social Membership, new to the area, want to meet new people. To us, that means social events which include food and drink. However, as a prospective member (with no boat) you cannot try the food or drink for quality unless you join first... and being new to the area, don't yet know any members who would treat us or introduce us to the club. Kind of like buying by a car but can't test drive it first, or buying anything unseen, like a marriage before a date.
We attended a celebration here, and it was lovely. The location is perfect, right in Mission Beach, off of the Santa Clara parking lot. They have their own parking, which is a lifesaver in the summer. The club is definitely older in decor, but kept up well. Aside from the decor, the alcohol prices also transported me back in time. Drinks were about $5 each. Aside from our large party, there were many other members hosting small groups. They have a private beach area to get some sun, sand, and water. I miss living in MB!
I've been here a few times, and I've never had a bad experience. The staff are always friendly, though not always quick with your order. The grounds are beautiful, with outdoor showers, and bathrooms worthy of a Starbucks. Being that it's private property, you can drink alcohol on the beach - where else can you do that in San Diego?! My only complaint would be the parking - the lot is usually reserved for members only, and parking in nearby Mission Bay is nearly impossible. Despite that though, I always look forward to my next day at MBYC!
Gathering with work colleagues. Food: 4.5 Stars Atmosphere: 4.5 Stars Service: 4 Stars Best part of this place is the view. So beautiful. You can go to the bar and order a drink and/or food from the walk-up counter. I was there with about a dozen colleagues and everyone was happy with their meals and drinks. I had shrimp tacos that were amazing. The price is right, parking was easy, and there were plenty of places to eat. This could be a fun stop on a date night or a great location for a large group. Since the bar and dining area are separate, kids are welcome in the dining area. If you don't want kids around you can sit in the bar. For a casual night out this is a solid location.
Love the bar, their tasty menu and amazing chef, hosted events and we had our small wedding reception in the Fleet room. Jason the GM is wonderful and worked with us to create an amazing menu and a great party.

great place to spend weekend and watch sailors on the sea. Fish and chips are fresh and plus beer !!
After joining MBYC in 11/2022, I now spend many happy days here. Already traveled by sailboat, Kayak, Paddle Boat, bus, NCL Bliss Boat to Mexico, motor launch out to local waters and bike, I recommend the MBYC to anyone wanting fun. I celebrate all Holidays and most days meet new friends from around the world. Family Tradition here is huge and they have included me events I have dreamed about for years. Come join us, 'cause it's 5 o'clock somewhere, Cheers!
Could use a little updating, but the feel is very homey and they have a nice view for the Sea World Fireworks! I've been to their Friday dinners and I have enjoyed the outdoor seating by the water. I'll update this as I have more experiences here. :)
Driving here reminded me of a nightmare I had one night where we had to drive through all these little alleys, nooks and crannies to only hit a dead end and zombies started coming out and attacked us. I thought our GPS was going nuts when we were driving through these small roads, but low and behold, it dropped us off at this parking lot over the water. We weren't sure where the yacht club was but after pacing up and down, it was straight ahead, past the parking lot we parked in. The yacht club reminds me of a senior center I used to go to visit my grandfather, it had an old carpet smell to it and you to your left, at the bar, are some older gentlemen and women who are there to have a good time. We walked into the dining area, where our college alumni event was. Rather nice set up with a buffet line, cozy fire place and some nice deck views outside. The buffet food wasn't bad, not even sure if it's catered by the Yacht club, but I think my favorite part of being here was sitting out on the deck and watching the lit up yachts go by at night. Peaceful and serene.
I love this no frills yacht club! It's close to my apt and the staff is always friendly. Al at the bar pours a stiff drink for sure. No complaints there and the popcorn at the bar is a yummy snack while you have some cocktails. Jimmer is the best sailing coach around too.

Club Profile: Mission Bay Yacht Club
January 2, 2021 by Taylor Penwell Leave a Comment
Mission Bay Yacht Club in San Diego, California is a top-notch small boat club with a growing footprint, even with the challenges of 2020. It has been previously named by US Sailing Association as the “One-Design Yacht Club of the Year,” and we took a deeper look into what makes MBYC such a special place by talking with its General Manager, Jason Proctor.
It was a humble beginning on Crown Point, but it was Tom Scripps and Leo Carroll, the first handicappers, and a few others whose ideas for handicap and one-design racing grew into the highly refined programs and facilities enjoyed today. Their foresight and enthusiasm have helped to produce world and national championship sailors in many classes.
The early sailboats had to be flat bottomed to maneuver in the shallow water of the Bay. The Flapper, a 12-foot catboat, was the first class to race at the club. A variety of boats, including some from San Diego Yacht Club, formed a handicap fleet and raced when the tide permitted. By 1931 the Skimmer was the hot boat in this area.
Mission Bay Yacht Club has a strong tradition of Corinthian sailboat racing. This is encouraged by Club sponsored regattas throughout the year. You will find national champions and novices alike competing in their regattas. Mission Bay Yacht Club’s ideal location makes it a favorite venue for national and world championship sailing regattas.
Jason Proctor – General Manager
Jason Proctor is the General Manager of the Mission Bay Yacht Club. Jason’s introduction to the water was spending time on a little lake north of Boston where he used to sail a Sunfish. When Jason first got to San Diego in 1999, he was working in the golf industry as an assistant General Manager for a club. Jason was looking for a change and signed on with MBYC in 2008.
One of the main problems he had to address when he came onboard was MBYC junior sailors moving to the other clubs as they progressed. Jason worked with the Waterfront Director, Chris Wright, and other active club members to grow the footprint of the junior sailing program in all aspects. To get more kids of all ages interested, they prioritized instilling the love of sailing by having adventure days, making it fun, and having picnics. They decided to focus on the entire experience besides only the racing. They take great pride in the continuously rising junior participation since 2008.
Junior Sailing
MBYC summer camp consisted of roughly 100 kids each week with students in smaller groups with staggered start times taught by a staff of around 15 coaches. They were able to run this past summer’s camp almost as normal minus the use of double-handed boats for instruction unless the sailors were from the same household. By bringing people in every half hour, the sailing program was able to operate with smaller numbers, but it led to a better quality of coaching. Their impressive coaching staff has also been a factor that has led to this success.
Jason credits much of junior programs success to Chris Wright who was incredibly proactive and participated in every zoom call that US Sailing had to offer about how to meet the challenge of continuing sailing education with the pandemic.
Club Sailing and Regattas
In addition to the junior classes, MBYC has other small boat classes such as the Finn, Snipe, Laser, Lighting, Multihull, Solings, Sunfish, Victory, Lido 14, MC Scow, Sr. Sabots, and Thistles.
MBYC is a club that is certainly more family-friendly than others and has a big sense of volunteerism. On their volunteer days, they get regularly get 200 members coming down to help out.
The clubs have weekend series for all one-design fleet members along with Thursday Night Club racing in which every fleet gets one start. The club consistently hosts Championships for different classes each year. Last year they were scheduled to host the Lighting North Americans, Thistles Midwinters West, Lido 14 Nationals, Victory Nationals, F18 North Americans. The club has a great turnout for member volunteers for supporting the events. The club scheduled a bunch of make-up regattas postponed due to the pandemic.
Another huge draw for MBYC is the facility. It is a great place for families to come and enjoy. Situated on the sandy beaches of Mission Bay, families can feel safe letting their children run around, enjoy the private beach and BBQ areas. They recently finished a remodel of the junior sailing building and signed a 25-year lease for an extension on the property and by the end of 2021, they will be starting on a a remodel the main clubhouse.
The facilities are impressive with around 400 boats dry stored, and a sizeable marina to accommodate 18ft to 55ft boats. MBYC is very active socially, hosting club parties once a month for its members and encourage people to get involved. If you are looking to get more into sailing just head to the bulletin board – where people are always looking for crew of all skill levels.
MBYC has been adjusting to operating with the pandemic. Once California lifted its recreational boating restrictions, they saw a huge increase with activity, which also helped to support the restaurant that was carry out only for much of the year.
