Montauk Yacht Club has undergone an extensive multi-million dollar revamp, bringing a brand new dining concept and standout amenities to the beloved seaside marina and resort. Re-opened in June under the management of Proper Hospitality, as part of The Collective, a portfolio of independent, design-driven hotels, the property blends Montauk’s classic charm with modern luxury.
At the heart of this rejuvenation is Ocean Club Montauk, Montauk Yacht Club’s newly unveiled dining experience. Led by South African Chef Jarad McCarroll, previously of Chiltern Firehouse and The Ritz London, the restaurant draws inspiration from his St Barth’s location. The 220-seat venue features the largest open kitchen in the Hamptons, where guests can enjoy freshly caught seafood, local produce, a raw bar and select Braai dishes – a traditional method of South African grilling.

Chilled lobster gazpacho and seabass tartare make for light seafront bites, or for something a little heartier, opt for the wood-fired Picanha steak (cooked for over six hours) and add a side of hand-cut fries. The drink menu complements these dishes with coastal classics and seasonal specials. Enjoying the Montauk sunset with an Aperol Spritz topped with Balsam Farm strawberries made for a memorable evening. Guests can choose to dine inside the white-and-wood-paneled restaurant or on the deck with stunning views over the marina.
This year, Montauk Yacht Club also introduces an indulgent new chapter with the arrival of La Prairie’s first season-long spa offering in the Hamptons. Housed on an elegant white-and-blue floating spa, the Swiss skincare house brings its luxurious treatments to the marina, allowing guests, visitors, and locals alike to be pampered by the gentle sway of the water. Showcasing both their Skin Caviar and Platinum Rare Collections, the spa hosts property-exclusive treatments such as the Caviar resculpting eye lift, featuring the new Skin Caviar the Mist, while being gently rocked by the ripples of the water.
