About Sandringham Yacht Club

Sandringham Yacht Club sits on Jetty Road beside its own marina, and its events arm runs functions in the clubhouse for members and the public alike. The rooms face west over Port Phillip Bay, so evening events often come with a sunset over the water. The main space is the Port Phillip Room, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. It takes 250 guests seated or 400 for a cocktail party, and can be dressed down for a gathering of 60. A dance floor, lectern and microphone are part of the set-up, with a projector and screen for presentations. For weddings, the Southern Podium is an open balcony on the bay where ceremonies are held before the reception. An indoor fallback is set aside for wet weather, and a private bridal room is included. Smaller groups can book the Olympic Room, a private dining room decorated with the club's Olympic Games memorabilia and looking over the boatyard. It seats 15 to 40 for a long lunch or dinner, and also works for meetings and team days of up to 24. The kitchen runs set menus for each style of event, from canapé packages to two or three course dinners. Drinks are sold as tiered packages by the hour, and a dedicated event manager looks after the planning from enquiry to the night itself.

What a fantastic venue. Was attending for a Polish night which was great. The food and chef did an amazing job - no wonder it was sold out. Sunset is amazing. Highly recommend. Will visit again.

I've recently moved to Melbourne and this was my first visit to the club. I was impressed with the facilities, layout of the club, service and friendly staff. Only drawback is that there is no free parking

We came here to celebrate our family friends wedding the other day and it’s a stunning venue. The reception overlooked the water, the food was extraordinary and the staff were so friendly. We had a great time, thank you…
