please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
An unusual find I must admit.
But a decent enough place in a good location with fine views.
Did reasonable food too and serves a now rare pint of bass.
The best pus in Penzance are on the quay and promenade area.
7/10

I liked this thirties architectural gem.
Good points:The Proper Job by St. Austell was superb, well kept and seved. Food was very good and promptly served.
Weaker points: Very noisy when busy, dining area is a bit basic.
Overall though it gets my vote as one of the top three or four pubs in Penzance.

A stunning art deco facade. A decent drop of St.Austell Tribute and proper Job.The staff are untrained and bored witless, the potential for a great pub goes unrealised here, my son gave very high marks for the pork scratchings which were from the west Midlands.

In respect of Steevxpopes coment about breakfast..
The pub offers a CORNISH Breakfast,
Whitwe pudding is the norm for a Scottish breakfast
and
Black Pudding is associated with Yorkshire and Lancashire
From my expierence at the Yacht over 5 visits, all special requests are welcome, or as we say in Yorkshire, "just open your gob and AAAAAAASSSSSSKKKKK"
Or send an E mail if the wifes listening

Just got back from a weekend stay, here.
My two previous revues state my case, and as a PUB LANDLORD, my praise has to be earned, and our pub dog gives it 9 woofs approval..
Back in October Mark, and you owe me a pint for this.....HINT....LOL

2 of us stayed for 3 nights B&B last week. Comfortable room with views of the sea. A bit steep at �90 per night for the room although the room had a double and a single bed and also a fold away bed so I suppose 4 of you could share the cost. Breakfast reasonable (but no black or white pudding) and evening meals also reasonable in quality, quantity and price. Peter also has the Logan Rock at Treen (which we visited) and the St. Buryan at - guess where? - St Buryan, which we didn't visit. Large centre round table in bar was taken up most evenings by a locals card school. Beers are still Tribute, Proper Job and Bass.

Nice enough building; choice of St Austell Tribute and Proper Job or Bass. Proper Job was very good at �2.80.
Busy with people eating on Monday lunchtime.
Not over impressed with the Landlord - don't know if he was the Peter mentioned in other reviews. Made a snide comment to someone at the bar about people not closing the door properly (it was) when I arrived and, after serving me, despite a couple having arrived, fxxxed off to watch the end of a horserace on the TV! Very customer focused!
Worth a visit but I wouldn't stay for too long unless with a group.

Please see my entry of of 21.10.08. NOTHING has changed my opinion.

Lovely Art Deco pub that claims a prominent position opposite the open air Jubilee Pool and sea views. The inside of the pub is large and open plan, which also catches the sunshine for long periods of the day, so ideal for an afternoon or mid-evening drink during the summer as there's a nice airy feel. Some of the original Art Deco touches remain, which is nice.
The beer range inside was fair - I had an excellent St Austell Proper Job (the other choices I believe were Tribute and a Skinners beer, though I'd had a couple by this point so don't quote me).
It's not often I'd disagree with Mr B but I thought that the atmosphere here on my visit was excellent - there were plenty of people in and there was a lot of chat, especially when Pass the Pigs came out. Whether he was unlucky or I was just lucky I guess will have to be decided by a return visit at some point! Certainly it's a little more 'nice' than some of its nearby competitors.
I would certainly recommend popping in here for a beer or two, for the architecture and views if nothing else.

Built in 1936, this art deco pub is the third in line to be built on this prominent part of the sea front between the harbour and the promenade. Along with the imposing Seaman�s Mission building next door, the sight of the Yacht is probably a welcoming landmark that greets many a returning voyager and fisherman. The interior is quite open with a spacious main bar, a dining area off to the left and a smaller room to the rear. A raised area in the main bar has a wasted blocked fireplace and cheap looking display cabinet containing various Water Polo trophies (there is a large art deco open air swimming pool opposite the pub which is used for polo in the summer months). There is an underplayed nautical theme but not actually a great deal that catches the eye. There is also a minimal choice on the ale front � 5 handpumps with Tribute on2, Bass on 2 and 1 unused. Quality was fine and the prices quite reasonable (we had been told elsewhere that this place was expensive but didn�t find this to be the case). The pub was rarely busy during the week we stayed in Penzance (our apartment was in the Seaman�s Mission next door) and would probably used the place a bit more if it had shown a bit more character and atmosphere. As it was, most people seemed to be there for meals and whilst it was a friendly enough place, the main source of entertainment came from the pub cat that would occasionally venture from its bastket on the window sill. If you just want a quiet, peaceful pint in sedate surroundings you won�t go far wrong here but for those looking for a bit more atmosphere, there are plenty of other options.

Peter must be the best landlord in PZ. All ales served in tip top condition, dining menu has excellent choice, Accomadation in tip top condition and a breakfast to die for. My regular hotel when in the area. And its pooch friendly. You have to use the pay and display parking during the summer season.

Been here once, quite late and it was busy. Seemed a good welcoming place with views out into the bay. Had a decent selection of drinks.

A nice place on the front with a good selection of drinks.
