S D Mission Bay Boat & Ski Club

Great place to spend the day for boaters and ocean lovers! Wonderful members and their associates.

I’ve been a member for over 4 years now and I still just love this place! There’s always a friendly face when you walk in and plenty to do around the club. If you have a boat the storage is reasonably priced and if you don’t everything else is reasonably priced. You can’t beat it — there is something for everyone!

This is a private members only club. Tho they are always friendly and open to meeting perspective members. They have a boat yard if you need to store a boat for a reasonable fee. There is a fully stocked bar inside as well as a game room w a pool table, shuffle board, fuzball table and big screen TVs to catch your favorite game or watch a movie. On Friday evenings they host a dinner along w live entertainment. Cheap drinks and a fun crowd make for a great time had by all. They also host all kinds of fun events such as luaus and bbqs. The hall and outside area are also available for private rentals. A great place to host your party.

I come here all the time for outrigger paddling events.
Lots of space inside to sit down and or hang out. Usually on Fri and Sat nights they have live, local entertainment. Which can be quite… interesting sometimes. Outdoor area with bbq grills, playground and a bonfire pit. Very much a local spot. You need a membership or know someone that has a membership to drink and eat.
The beer is cheap, the drinks are heavy and the steaks are huge. What more could I ask for? :)

I came here for a Charity Fundraiser Dinner.
Even though it was only BBQ Steaks, the food was excellent.
I’ll keep this short and sweet… Great BBQ, Great Atmosphere and friendly staff that works there.
4 Stars!

There is never a dull moment in this place. Upon entering the facility it looks like your hole in the wall old hokey bar in the Florida Keys but this place is a legitimate boat club. They have trailer storage parking for those boaters that don’t want to leave the boat in the water all year long and that might live far away from a launch ramp.
The back of the club house has grass, BBQ’s a fire pit, jungle gym area for the kids, horse shoe pits, and outdoor patio seating. The best night to head down to the boat club is definitely on Fridays during the Spring/​Summer months for dinner specials. Not to mention the drinks are really good to inside at the bar. Everyone is always friendly and either dancing around or picking ouot upcoming songs on the jukebox.

The first time I visited the Boat & Ski Club we were crashing a wedding. Well, okay, not really – but kind of. A friend called us and said we should drop by, because the main wedding stuff was over. We still thought it’d be tacky, so we blew him off. He kept calling and insisting though, so we finally gave in. Turns out he was right: the wedding part was over, the party part was on, and I was in love with the Boat & Ski Club.
Okay, the place is like any clubhouse you’d find in a gated community… in the 70s. And it actually weirdly reminds me of this one area of my grandparents’ old church. You know, if their church had a bar and pool tables. It’s set up where when you walk in it’s a linoleum-​floored game room (I think it’s linoleum… definitely pool though. And possibly something else…), then you cross the room and the next room is carpeted with a small stage in one corner and a bar wrapping around the opposite corner. Outside that room is a large covered patio with a big tiled fire pit, and beyond that is a big lawn and I-don’t-know-what because I’ve never been out that far.
Draft beer is served in GIANT Dixie cups – I repeat, paper cups – so they can get a little floppy if you’re too slow with your beer. Prices for draft and bottled beer, as well as fairly stiff cocktails are all very reasonable. Not exactly dirt cheap, but good deals nonetheless.
I’m not really sure how it ever gets planned to go to the Boat & Ski Club. I know there’s live music from time to time, but I don’t think I’ve really paid attention to a band when I’ve been there. All I know is that once in a while my man hangs up the phone and says «Baby, _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​and a bunch of the rest of them are gonna be at the Boat & Ski Club and want to know if we’ll meet them there.» And the answer is yes. After that the night is a blur of beer and ridiculousness around the fire, often ending in a shared cab home. Now that I think about it, it’s been awhile since I’ve caused trouble at the Boat & Ski. This is an appalling situation that needs to be remedied.

Fun, fun, fun! You’d never know it was here, but the Mission Bay Boat and Ski Club is not only an institution among those who play at the bay, but is also a fun little live music venue.
They occasionally open their clubhouse for local bands to play. The drinks aren’t as cheap as they used to be, but it’s a full bar and a decent pour. It looks as you might imagine, like your grandpa’s Elks Lodge, but with a nautical theme. It’s kitschy and casual, full of old photos and an ever present American Flag done in Christmas lights. There is a patio and lawn outside the bar, and they do serve food, but you’ll need to check on the availability on a particular night. It’s also not necessarily 21 and up, so you may be able to tote the kiddies.
Keep an eye out for events here, it’s a neat change of pace from the usual bars around town.
