The yacht club, overlooking Simpson Bay Marina, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. It's a lively spot frequented by tourists, locals, and boat enthusiasts. They offer the best Bloody Marys on the island, with good, reasonably priced food, including some Dutch appetizers on the menu. The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel like part of their family. It's reminiscent of Cheers, but on the water. A highlight of dining here is the view of the Simpson Bay Bridge, which opens several times a day to allow mega yachts to enter and exit the marina.

I just love coming here to eat and watch the boats! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I usually come for lunch and stay for the afternoon parade of boats. This most recent time I came for lunch and sat at the bar. Koko was my server and she was great! She checked in on me and got me my food quickly. I started out with the coconut fried shrimp which was amazing as always, plus the sauce, so delicious. I also had the chicken Alfredo which was also delicious, super creamy just like I like it. My other lunch favorite is the chicken parm. At times the bar can get loud but otherwise it's a great place for a bite.

It was ok. Someone recommended we come for breakfast so I had different expectations. Service was great! Location great! Food was just mediocre Cohort got a Cajun shrimp omelette and said it was flavorless. This coming from a guy who will eat just about anything (human garbage disposal) My salmon bagel fine. Bagel. Hard. Smoked salmon was saving grace.

Visited 27 July 2023 Absolutely try the smoked salmon!! Expect a 15% gratuity to your bill. The Yatch Club was recommended for breakfast after talking with the Hilton Royal Palm hotel staff. It is located directly across the street fro. The hotel and took less than 5 minutes to walk over. We arrived after 10 am, so breakfast was still being served (breakfast is served from 7-11am). The restaurant sits right on the harbor and overlooks the water with seating inside and outside on the covered deck. We chose outside seating - it was cool watching the boats go by, and we even got to see the draw bridge go up for some of the bigger boats. There were also a few children fishing from the deck. We were greeted by our waitress shortly after sitting. I think breakfast is easy so we ordered right away. For drinks we both went with lemonade ‐ $5/each. For breakfast I had 2 eggs fried hard with bacon, home fries, and wheat toast - $10. My man had an omlet with home fries and wheat toast ‐ $12, and we had a side of smoked salmon - $10. The food was delicious and the smoked salmon was amazing. The atmosphere was good. It wasn't too loud and we got a cool breeze off the ocean. Some seats didn't have umbrellas, or it wasn't positioned to block the sun, so you had to select a seat out of the sun if you wanted a cooler seat. It wasn't too busy, but it took a while to get our bill. I don't think the waitress heard me when I initially asked for it. We weren't in a rush, so we sat and enjoyed the views while we waited.  One thing of note, although they take card payments, they do not accept American Express. So have a visa, MasterCard, or cash. Overall, good meal and I would definitely recommend for breakfast.

Went to the Yacht Club the weekend of the Heineken Regatta. Great location on the water and next to the Sint Marteen bridge. An excellent place to see the boats come in and out of the bay. Food at the Yacht Club is good. There is a good food selection on the menu and long list of beers in bottle and on tap. I had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with fries. The place is always busy during the lunch and dinner hours so my food did take some time to get to my table. Only downside is that wait staff have focused attention on customers near the bar and select customers sitting outside. Since I was sitting outside, my food and refills had long waits. Getting my bill was an even longer wait and I just went to the bar to close out my bill. Good place to eat. Hopefully others had better experience with wait staff service.

Were there foe Heineken week and this was the cwnter of our universe. We ate there 4 tiimes at least and can't count the number of times we drank there. They were super accommodating and provided ferries around the event. Lacy and Don are old friends and helped us feel welcome along with the great staff. The yacht Club vibe works for me and the ambience really made us feel at home. Can't wait to return in the future.

Located right on Welfare Road in Simpson Bay. Sint Maarten Yacht Club is open to the public for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. It is a very casual place with great views of Simpson Bay and the Simpson Bay Bridge. We enjoyed watching the luxury yachts and catamarans passing by us on the water when the bridge was up during our visit. I have been here twice now;; both times for lunch, and both times I have ordered the Classic Burger with cheese. It is delicious; cooked perfectly and complimented with seasoned French fries. My daughter ordered the jerk wrap. It was actually more of a panini with grilled chicken. She liked it because she said it had a good amount of spice. It also came with a side of fries. My sister had the seafood trio which was mussels, shrimp, and mahi. She raved about how much she loved it; especially the mussels. It came with 2 sides and she chose a side salad and vegetables, (green beans.) Service was friendly and a combination of waiters checked on us often. They also boast a daily happy hour from 3-6, (even on Saturday,) and the bar area was pretty full at about 4;00 in the afternoon. (You can't beat $2 ice cold beers and $4 cocktails!)

Terrible service. Waited 15-20 minutes and nobody came. Then after going to the bar and requesting a server, they came and took our order. One hour and 15 minutes later we decided to leave because our order never came. Weight staff was absolutely oblivious. told the waitress on the way out great breakfast, and she said oh thanks.

Great place. Seat yourself. Had the happy hour "three appetizers for $30. The "fish fingers " which were like battered fish (without the chips) were the best I have ever had. My husband had Jamaican jerk calamari which he loved, it was very spicy, not breaded. The atmosphere is excellent, music playing, all ages including children welcome. There were at least three people there w small dogs on a leash. Great view of bridge being raised to let the huge yachts pass through. Servers are efficient and personable. This is the perfect St. Maarten vacation vibe place. Don't miss it if you are here.

I sat at a table in this restaurant for 25 minutes and no one greeted me, let alone brought me a menu or water. The staff brought the table in front of me and behind a menu. I'm not sure what it's all about. It would give it zero stars, because I never tasted the food since they didn't serve me at all.
