About the Business

Founded in 1965, HHYC Has played an active role in our community by providing a venue for many local philanthropic groups and offering a true Yacht Club experience to our growing membership. Our members enjoy on and off the water events that bring a certain pride and togetherness to those that take part in our fun cruises and boating events. Our kids Sailing School, well known as the Huntington Beach Sailing Foundation, will teach the needed skills to the many kids that will be the future of Sailing throughout Southern California. We are more than a Yacht Club as many of our non boat owners will tell you, as the social functions at the club are the reasons many people from our community have joined together to take part in our many Holiday events or attend a Friday evening starting at our bar, overlooking Catalina Island, followed by a well presented dinner in our spacious dining room. Also popular is our Sunday Brunch in a sunny bay setting while sipping a mimosa and meeting new friends. …

Beautiful place to eat on the water in Huntington Harbour. Brunch is open to the public on Sunday's only. Banquet facilities available to rent. Club members enjoy many fun activities.

Brunch by the bay

Mimosa by the bay

1 star for the view. I wish they welcomed younger families. They also need to train their kitchen staff for a better menu and find resources for quality meat. They need to revamp the place. And WELCOME YOUNGER FAMILIES to make some changes to the place to make it better. It's run down and just not working out anymore. They need better marketing to get events going to get more funding for the place.

4th of July event

I worked with Dee Dee to plan a Celebration of Life event. She was fantastic and helped us plan an event for 150 people. Everything went very smoothly and I can not say enough at how nice the venue was. I would definitely recommend them for your next event.

Burial at Sea with military honors for my husband, USMC SGT Thurston A "Biff" Prince of Flowery Branch, GA was performed by Prince Charters LLC (no relations) on July 11, 2023. The accommodations were excellent, the service was professional and respectful. I highly recommend.

What happened to this place? I recently brought friends to HHYC for their "everyone is welcome" brunch. It was horrible. Before Covid-19, the food was good, the prices were decent and Sunday Brunch was enjoyable. This place has gone downhill since before Covid-19. I don't want to be a member because this place is full of old mean hags. But it would be nice to attend the brunch if the food an service returns to pre-covid quality. What did HHYC do wrong?

We recently had a Celebration of Life for a family member where more than 65 people attended. Coordinating the event with Dee Dee, the office manager, was a breeze. The pricing was much more competitive than I had anticipated as well. The venue is unbeatable, ocean views from all the windows, indoor and outdoor spaces blend together, and a dock to walk on and/or park your boat. We even saw dolphins when we were on the dock! There are 3rd party groups that you can coordinate for harbor cruises or spreading of ashes as well. Parking for everyone's vehicles was easy and free. We were on a budget and opted to use a 3rd party catering company, Golden Olive, that is located immediately behind the yacht club. Both groups worked together perfectly and the food was fantastic! And, there were no hidden fees from either vender. I can't speak highly enough about the staff, they really are fantastic. The bartenders & event manager have great personalities, are great "people pleasers" and pour doubles for the price of a single. Surprisingly we were well under our budget for drinks too! It was a fantastic event and the team at the HH Yacht Club really made it special for everyone who attended. Most importantly, it was easy and literally everyone who attended was thankful and amazed how by the quality and ease. Strongly recommended and will definitely do future events here.

Plenty of room

Dolphins greeted us at the dock

The food was terrible but the staff and the views are great. The food is powdered eggs dry biscuits and terrible gravy. The endless mimosas were 10.00 so worth it. I don't take pictures of any food because it was terrible. Here's one picture of the bay, one good thing about this place.

Planning a special event is stressful. Planning a Celebration of Life to lovingly honor the most important person in your world takes that stress to an entirely different level. While grieving the loss of my very best friend, my wife, the decision was made by my daughters and me to hire Dee Dee Hall and her team at the HHYC. Without question, it was a great decision! From beginning to end, Dee Dee was amazing. She was attentive, professional, experienced, efficient, knowledgeable, flexible, and offered suggestions for cost savings. While those are all excellent business traits, it was her kindness, compassion, empathy and humor that truly sets her apart. Sincere compliments to her entire staff, as well. They all worked with a smile and went out of their way to ensure our night was a success. We requested some personal touches throughout the night that were met with the same "can do" attitude. Most importantly, I believe my sweetheart would have thoroughly enjoyed it all....especially eating dessert before dinner!

No words can describe how amazing the staff is! We recently got married here last July 1, 2021. Everything went smoothly! Open bar costs $3,000 the whole night!!! They packed everything for us, they made sure the table centerpieces were returned to us, the servers made sure guests are all entertained and served. As a bride, I was taken cared of very well! They made sure we were eating and hydrated. The staff are friendly! AMAZING. The venue is perfect, weather wise, space wise. We had a rehearsal and the office manager was very coordinated. She made sure every flow of our wedding is smooth! Props to Huntington Harbour Yacht Club!

Ehh. I can think of a lot of other places I would rather be in Huntington with much better food and much better ambiance. Servers can be very rude here. Visited multiple times before posting this. Don't think i'll be back anytime ... soon.

Lloyd Harbor Yacht Club

We are the premiere racing organization in and around Huntington Bay. Founded in 1966, the Lloyd Harbor Yacht Club is truly a club for sailors. With one hundred members, we are dedicated to enjoying, perfecting and practicing the fine art of sailing. Whether it’s racing, cruising or just gunkholing on weekends, our schedule of events offers members activities to suit their needs.

A Water-Based Club

LHYC devotes its time and resources to providing an environment on the water that is conducive to our members’ activities. We sponsor and run over twenty-five races each season, many of them YRA qualifying races. As we have no land based clubhouse to support and maintain, we provide moorings in Lloyd Harbor, Port Jefferson and Block Island for the exclusive use of our members

On Shore Activities

A full schedule of shore-side activities complements our water-based focus. We have an annual picnic and barbecue, a new-member cocktail party, and land cruises to various interesting locations during the off season. The annual Awards Dinner and Dance and holiday party are highlights of our social season. Our charitable activities include assisting the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society in the amazing restoration of the light and her foundation. LHYC also hosts several meetings during the off-season, with speakers and topics of special interest.

Lloyd Harbor Yacht Club enjoys an outstanding reputation throughout Long Island Sound. Our membership and continuing recruitment of sailors who want to take part in the learning experience makes this possible. We are looking for such sailors to fill out our current roster. If you would like to join one of our Friday night raft-ups and meet a few members, or want more information about the Club, contact the Membership Chairperson or any Officer.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
