I have used the Paddle Club at Kelowna Yacht Club for 3 years. The staff/service is amazing! I highly recommend both KYC and their Paddle Club!

if you like yoga, you should try "Yoga on the Dock Kelowna Yacht Club" Wednesday evenings. Great environment and knowledgable instructor. What a nice way to wrap up the day.

The Kelowna Yacht Club is a beautiful wedding venue with so much charm. Located on the share of the Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, the backdrop could not be more beautiful with a nautical feel, of course. The reception space is nice and open with large windows allowing for so much natural light and views of the lake and mountains. The food is great and the people are very accommodating. A great wedding venue!!

Beautiful location, good food, nice service. Brand new location for 2015 has opened with sweeping views of Lake Okanagan. Had the breakfast eggs Benedict which was reasonably priced; homemade potatoes, a nice Hollandaise, nicely presented on the plate. This is a huge improvement over the previous yacht club.

Sat on the patio. Kimber was our server. Lovely Lady. Very fast food and drink service. Good Value. Good Portion sizes. Glad we came. Beautiful setting. We will return.

The staff at the yacht club are rude. Such as most of the members. I will never spend my time or money there

The restaurant at the Yacht Club is only available to members and their guests. If you know someone that can get you access, it is a beautiful space for a relaxing meal. The food ranges from casual (hamburgers and sandwiches) to traditional entrees. It isn't a large selection but there should be enough choices to find something you like. My teenagers have had the yam fries with chipotle dip many times and believe they are tastier here than at most other restaurants. On my last visit I shared an arugula and tomato salad (yum) and a grilled vegetable and shrimp pasta dish (excellent). I didn't like the gluten free chocolate cake, but the molten lava cake is always good if you want chocolate. My daughter loved the cheese and fruit plate, which has a large assortment of items and is good for sharing - either after a meal or as a light snack. The view is wonderful from inside or outside, and the staff are friendly.
