Montauk, Long Island, New York, August 2008… Located on the historic East End of Long Island’s South Fork near the serene hamlet of Montauk is a meeting destination unlike any other -- Montauk Yacht Club Resort & Marina.
Montauk Yacht Club was once a favorite meeting destination for Gilded Age titans like Vincent Astor, JP Morgan, Jr., Edsel Ford, Thomas Eastman, John Wanamaker and Harold S. Vanderbilt. Even Charles Lindberg used to fly in frequently to meet with his colleagues at the famed yacht club. Business luminaries flocked here in the Roaring 20s by car and private yacht.
The titans may all be gone, but the reason they came remains – Montauk is the perfect mind-clearing meeting destination! And in the Fall, with the summer crowds a distant memory, the resort is within convenient reach by car, train (LIRR), the famed Hamptons Jitney from Manhattan, and the New York / Long Island airports (ISP, JFK, LGA).

Founded in 1929 and situated along a 22-acre waterfront, the historic Montauk Yacht Club Resort & Marina has long been a perennial favorite playground for those who frequent the shores of Long Island's South Fork East End. The Resort actually began as three separate estates. The original club building was built by entrepreneur Carl Fisher, the master builder who turned Miami from a sleepy backwater town into a thriving resort city. Fisher had dreams of replicating his success with the small seaside village of Montauk by creating a playground for the rich and famous. The club's original membership included Vincent Astor, J.P. Morgan, Jr., Nelson Doubleday, Edsel Ford, Harry Payne Whitney, Thomas Eastman, John Wanamaker and Harold S. Vanderbilt. Among the many guests was famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who often flew his seaplane into the harbor to dock at the Marina.
Today, the Resort offers 107 comfortably-elegant guestrooms with views of Lake Montauk, including 23 Villa accommodations. The Resort features superb dining in the Lighthouse Grill and lighter fare within the casual ambiance of Breeze’s Café. Social and corporate groups are accommodated within flexible event space, including four conference rooms and a newly renovated ballroom, as well as extensive outdoor space. Recreational offerings include a private beach, the Montauk Yacht Club Spa, tennis, outdoor and indoor pools, and golf at the nearby Montauk Downs, however the highlight is the property’s 232-slip marina -- recognized by Yachting magazine as a “Top Ten Marina Destination in North America, Mexico & the Bahamas.” Home to the Brits vs. Yanks, Redbone, and Whitewater Challenger Montauk Yacht Club fishing tournaments, the marina accommodates vessels 250+ feet with a maximum 12+-foot draft, and features comprehensive on-site amenities, as well as signature Island Global Yachting services. For reservations or more information, please call 888-MYC-8668 or visit www.montaukyachtclub.com. Montauk Yacht Club Resort & Marina is an Island Global Yachting destination (IGY) www.igymarinas.com.
