Sam's Star Island Yacht Club & Marina

Play in the heart of downtown baltimore, marina info.

With its unique resemblance of a star floating on the ocean, Sam’s Star Island Yacht Club has come a long way from the boat yard it once was. Sam Gershowitz and his team have turned it into a great destination for boaters on the East Coast. “It’s a beautiful place,” Gershowitz says with pride. “It’s a yacht club and a marina, and we cater to people here. It’s a very comfortable place to hang around.”

No marina in the area offers more facilities and services. The Ship’s Store is one of the largest tackle shops with bait of every type, an expert staff, marine supplies including electrical, polishes and waxes, cleaning materials, marine safety equipment, boat batteries, collectors’ items, groceries, and a full repair service. Visitors can sit down for a casual breakfast, lunch and dinner at Star Island Grill, serving fresh locally caught seafood. Spend Saturday nights at Star Island Grill for live poolside music and dancing overlooking Lake Montauk and the ocean. With all it has to offer, Sam’s Star Island Yacht Club is an inviting club and marina for all. We invite you to consider the possibilities at Sam’s Star Island.

Bottom Line

Overlooking Lake Montauk, this family-friendly resort is a classic summer getaway with views of the attached marina, bobbing with boats, and a white lighthouse. Its 107 rooms, suites, and villas are nicely decorated in nautical style, and equipped with air-conditioning, flat-screen LED TVs, and mini-fridges. Though the location is not directly on the ocean, Montauk Yacht Club's great food and drink options, many free on-site activities (pools, tennis, volleyball, kayaking), and free shuttle service to town and the beaches make it a draw for an amenities-filled Hamptons getaway. Beach-or-bust travelers could consider Surf Club Resort , which has a stunning beachfront location, but no on-site dining.

Oyster Hotel Review

A family-friendly resort with a variety of activities and restaurants.

The historic Montauk Yacht Club Resort & Marina evokes another time. Originally built in 1928 by entrepreneur Carl Fisher (the man credited with turning Miami from a sleepy backwater town to a thriving resort metropolis), the resort quickly became the local go-to vacation destination for the wealthy (original members of the club include J.P. Morgan, Vincent Astor, and Harold S. Vanderbilt). Charles Lindbergh is said to have often flown his seaplane into the harbor to dock at the club's marina. And according to local legend, the Island Club (which was located next door to the original resort and would eventually become part of the resort as it stands today) was the most popular speakeasy and gambling casino around town during Prohibition. To avoid trouble, the club posted watchmen at the stone stanchions at the end of the island's causeway -- when the police stopped by, the guards would radio the club for management to hide the liquor and gambling equipment.

Today, the resort maintains some of that storied appeal (the towering white lighthouse is what beaconed guests to the resort from its inception). Yet there are plenty of modernized amenities to keep today's guest happy -- though the two outdoor pools and small private beach are popular with kids, so if you’re looking for some celebrity-style peace and quiet, head to the ocean. Despite updates and upgrades, one original trait has remained consistent through the years: The resort, as a whole, attracts a wealthy set, and guests shouldn't be surprised to see the occasional celebrity roaming its grounds.

Minutes from Montauk Harbor, the resort faces a marina, and is a short drive from the ocean and downtown

At the easternmost tip of Long Island, the Montauk Yacht Club’s lakeside location is kitty corner from Montauk Harbor -- an area with restaurants, shops, and plenty of harborside sightseeing. In addition to downtown Montauk (a nine-minute drive from the hotel), there are many nearby towns to explore, and, of course, miles of sandy beaches to enjoy. The drive to East Hampton takes about 25 minutes, and driving to Sag Harbor and Southampton takes about 40 and 55 minutes, respectively.

Pools, tennis courts, and bonfires make this a fun summer resort

Montauk Yacht Club Resort isn't right on the Atlantic, but it offers many on-site amenities to redress the non-oceanfront location. There are two outdoor heated pools, both surrounded by brick patios and overlooking the marina. A small sandy beach with loungers and umbrellas (free; cabanas also available for a fee) overlooks the lake, but both it and the outdoor pools can feel crowded with kids. The oval-shaped indoor pool, also heated, provides a nice alternative; it's set in a skylit space with vintage pinstripe wooden surfboards hanging on the white wood walls. 

The full-service Spa MYC offers massages, body treatments, facials, waxing, and nail work, as well as spa packages and the option of in-room service. A fitness center provides all the necessary equipment (free weights, ellipticals, treadmills, machinery), plus cedar saunas, and there are four outdoor tennis courts, with racquets and balls free to use. Paddleboards, cruiser bikes, and kayaks are all free to borrow, and there is a playground for kids. The resort grounds include areas for volleyball, bocce ball, and horseshoes, plus outdoor seating areas and fire pits (the resort holds bonfires with s’mores in the warmer months). Private, semi-private, or group surf lessons and paddleboard sessions or tours can be arranged, and a Kids' Surf Academy is held on the weekdays. Excursions are available from charter boats in the marina. The hotel offers free shuttle service to Montauk Harbor, downtown, and beaches. Parking and resort-wide Wi-Fi are both free.

All-Inclusive / Food

A range of upscale cuisine, specialty cocktails, and casual bar bites make it easy to stay close.

Montauk Yacht Club offers a good mix of dining options that appeal to both families and couples seeking romance. The upscale Coast Kitchen is a New American restaurant focusing on local ingredients (the menu features a daily fresh catch), while the casual The Alley & The Deck has a Florida feel and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. B-Bar is an indoor nautical-style lounge offering specialty cocktails and small bites, and the seasonal Sunset Pier allows for dockside eating, drinking, and watching the sunset.

Cool store, cool snack bar, just a great atmosphere all around. I don't own a boat, but if I did, I would keep it here !! I enjoy coming to Star Island every visit to Montauk.

a very nice hotel, got beatiful water front rooms. I park my yacht here every time when I live in long island . The food is wonderful, they got seasonal menu for diner. I personally fond of lobster roll and the chicken soup.

I called there today 9/17/14, to ask for help for the purchase of offshore equipment for a trip on 9/18. I needed 3 rods and 3 reels with other odds and ends for tuna fishing. Charlie was the name of the guy that picked up. I'm not sure what his problem was, but boy did I get the feeling that customer service was not his priority. I explained to him that I was driving to Montauk for a 48 hour tuna trip that I was invited on but had no gear. I also explained that I was leaving from VIrginia in the morning and was scheduled to arrive late afternoon, and would like to pick items out now so that when I came in I could just pay for it, or pay over the phone. He said, "I can't help you over the phone, you have to come in" I asked again what time they were open until. He said 7. I said I could probably be there by 6-630...that's just not enough time to spool 3 reels for tuna and shop around for jigs, line and daisy chains, is what I told him...he then hung up on me. I called back to ask for his manager or the owner...he then hung up on me again. I was referred to this company by a charter captain, I'm shocked Do not shop here, unless you like to be treated poorly

Patty and Tony are the perfect people to spend an afternoon with at the Star Island Yatch Club (open to the public). Their menu is grilled and fried fish as well as several different types of hot dogs, burgers, and pulled pork (try it!). The restaurant overlooks the yatch club piers and the pool. The beer is great and make sure to put something extra into the shark on the counter for all the work Chad does.

Star Island will always have a special place in my heart. Star Island Yacht Club is a place that has remained consistent since I was a child coming here with my family, and will hopefully stay that way and not cave into becoming what the rest of Montauk is becoming. Star Island offers a decent sized swimming pool surrounded by plenty of chairs for sunbathing. There is also a fairly large overhang where patrons can sit in the shade and enjoy a meal or some drinks. AWESOME daiquiris and mudslides! The bartenders offer great service and drinks, and the food is absolutely amazing and fresh. I always make it a point to come here when I visit Montauk, this place feels like coming "home." It's always fun to walk along the docks and check out the various boats and watch fishermen bringing in their catch to be cleaned and gutted. There are tournaments that happen here from time to time which are also fun to watch! A "no-frills" type of place that is wonderful to relax at with friends and family. There is also a very over-priced store where you can pick up fishing gear, apparel, and items such as sunscreen that you may have forgotten. Food and drinks are pretty expensive, but everything is delicious and hard to beat! Great place to chill out in the sun or shade.

They basically stole $600.00 from us. Because of a hurricane we had to cancel trip. Called ahead of time to cancel. Person on phone told us we had a year to use credit. They definitely did not say same season. Went to use credit and they told us it was too late! How convenient for them to give us wrong info and keep our money for nothing! Would never trust these crooks again!
