Our Vision

YAYA is a celebration of passion, lifestyle and community.  We are blending the experience and cuisine of the Mediterranean with Miami, the largest boating destination in the world. YAYA Club will cultivate a community that embraces the glamorous boating lifestyle that Miami can offer with its beautiful waters and year round sunshine. 

The YAYA Club is a private members club, a gathering place for the boating community to connect. To us, boating is more than a hobby—it's an obsession, integral to our identity.  Our marina has an unprecedented 14 slips directly in front of the restaurant.  

YAYA Coastal Cuisine will be open to the public to enjoy the delicious food, extraordinary ambiance and gorgeous locale. YAYA is committed to sustainability in both its boating and restaurant practices.

The Design

The design philosophy of YAYA is simple yet profound, crafted to create an atmosphere that speaks of calm, relaxation, and the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean. A neutral color palette dominates the space, offering a soothing backdrop that allows the true stars of the show to shine: the delectable food and the mesmerizing view. Crafted by Miami’s own acclaimed Saladino Design Studios, the restaurant's ambiance invites guests to immerse themselves in a waterside oasis. 

The light and airy venue embraces its chic location, making YAYA a true destination for both culinary indulgence and aesthetic delight. Statement walls adorned with dimensional murals, seemingly carved out of stone, add depth and character to the space, telling silent tales of ancient Mediterranean landscapes. 

Choosing to dine at YAYA, whether indoors under the bamboo canopy or outdoors by the bay, feels like stumbling upon a hidden gem.
