Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron reviews
54You get to see the cup and all the history on the walls. Great food and service. Happy to be a member
What an awesome experience. Our group (of 18) had a private room for dinner. Service couldn't be faltered.even had name cards at the table! Super impressed. This all contributed to make the night really special. Thank you RNZYS!
Got invited on a company event for a sailing race course with Elliot 7 and one of my most thrilling activity as I'm not into sailing or done other water activities apart from swimming in pools and beach. Felt very privileged to be inside this building and saw all the memorabilia of NZ sailing. Had drinks and nibbles in their bar area and also bought souvenir - shorts and shirt with RNZYS emblem which are so cool. The old building with quite outdated interior is not a downside of the rich history the building houses. There is a great view from the first floor of the outside surroundings of the marina and harbour.
Fantastic evening farewell celebrations to a very special CEO. The food delicious made to feel very welcome and the view spectacular.
Lovely atmosphere, great food Service was outstanding Love the history of the Club and the America's Cup
Fantastic place to improve your sailing skills or if you're new to sailing. I highly recommend the RNZYS if keen on learning sailing at any level. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Amazing place to come and watch the lights on the harbor bridge! Also nice to be able to be close to the ocean, very peaceful
The RNYS was awesome. The food was great. The view is breath taking. We absolutely enjoyed our ARG Christmas party there.
A medium size venue for functions and events. Amazing views of the city skyline or the harbour bridge. There are two levels - both have bars. The service was great. You can also view the trophies displayed on the first floor. Quite a collection!
Sorry to say but your Chef should be sacked! The Mains we had on Sunday at lunch were deplorable altho the desserts were really nice. We don't mind paying your prices for a meal but the standard really needs looking at. I hope if we come back again that the food preparation has improved. Service needs looking at also. The staff were lovely and friendly but we had to attract their attention 1stly to clear the table of our plates which we had finished with some time earlier and 2ndly we had to ask to see the dessert menu. Management really needs to brings this side of your facility up to standard which would befit the RNZYS!
Good stuff. Members have a full experience through out the year. Had a event there and it was amazing
You can see the hype is coming because of the America's cup but there's still parking if you plan to have a look at some luxurious motor launches and and a great view of the harbour Bridge and the harbour
Went for a lovely drive under the harbour bridge around the boat and back to town lots and lots of building going on nothing stays the same
We had a pre Christmas lunch in there with my boy's mentor who had his name on the special list in the building. What a beautiful view, food and service. We love the Yatch history of NZ. Perfect for private fuction. Love it!
Great food, super friendly and helpful staff (Members' Bar) and a lovely relaxed atmosphere with a stunning outlook over the bridge/harbour/city.
Reasonably priced, Highly recommended
Visiting on a Crystal cruise, we just had to see the America's Cup even though it was parked in the wrong country. We had a very laid back lunch on the terrace overlooking the water and then found our way upstairs to the trophy room. We had pictures taken with the trophy in San Francisco but wanted to add to our collection. I kept my hands to myself and got a great picture. My wife jumped the rope barrier and put her hand on the trophy.not a good move. Alarm bells, sirens, people running.anyone would think we were trying to steal it back for the U. S. Fortunately, the club members were very good natured about it and no harm done. We appreciated their hospitality.
The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is a New Zealand yacht club, and the club behind New Zealand's America's Cup campaigns, under the guises of New Zealand Challenge and Team New Zealand. It held the America's Cup from 1995
until 2003, becoming in 2000 the first non-American holder to successfully defend the trophy. After Team New Zealand's victory in the 2017 event, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron are the current holders of the America's Cup.
The club was established in 1871 in Auckland with the name of the "Auckland Yacht Club". Its name was changed to "Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron" when it was granted royal patronage in 1902. The patron of the Squadron is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. It is located in Westhaven Marina, Auckland, close to the Auckland Harbour Bridge
facing on to the Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki
Gulf.
Special place, you can see the American cup, party, eat and enjoy the views, all in one place.
Plenty of trophies and all the major prizes from multiple events can be seen there too.
Many venues suitable for different group sizes. Excellent food and service on top of all of that too.
Well recommended indeed, must see to believe.
Food was good gastro pub fare in the upstairs bar but the service was a little slow. You can't beat the location though. Absolutely stunning and we can see the Americas Cup as well.
Lovely venue. Spacious with several different rooms that can be used. Loved looking at all the trophies. Americas cup and Louie Vitron trophies
