Yacht Club

Berkeley Yacht Club prides itself on being an active participant in supporting the community in which we live. For many years we have had a junior program in conjunction with the Berkeley Boosters focused on introducing at-risk or disadvantaged youth to boating.

Our Club was founded in 1939 originally as the Puerto de Oro Yacht Club. It was not until September of 1941 when it was renamed and incorporated as the Golden Gate Yacht Club. Our original founding fathers were a group of enthusiastic sailors and boaters who began the club as a foundation to promote both water sports and boating to our local community. This has remained a strong mainstay as one of the focal points of our club. Add to that the reputation of the “Friendliest Club on the Bay” and we have a winning ticket to be proud of.

Encinal Yacht Club, being the 3rd oldest yacht club on the Bay, was founded in 1890. The club was established by residents living in Alameda’s Gold Coast, on the south shore of the Island. The club’s unique management structure was set at the beginning, which designated separate Executive and Flag Officer functions. The club became famous for its moonlit parties, regattas, and cruising events. The club encouraged family participation from the very beginning. The first clubhouse was designed and built by Commodore Joseph A. Leonard, at the end of a 1,000-foot pier extending into the bay from the foot of Grand Street. The clubhouse was an elaborate Victorian design, the main floor was reserved for dancing and the second floor was the residence of the club manager. The San Francisco Chronicle declared the clubhouse to be the finest of its type on the entire Pacific Coast.

Our club is a down-to-earth place where boating and friendly conversation are equally valued.

IYC was founded in 1970 by a group of sailboat racers who wanted to offer the best possible value in a yacht club. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit club open to anyone interested in sailing, power boating and on-the-water activities. IYC members enjoy reciprocal privileges at yacht clubs throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. IYC also extends a warm welcome to yacht clubs that grant reciprocity to our members. While we presently do not have a clubhouse, we are continuing our search for a new home. Both in an online and in-person setting, our focus is on learning and racing together; we are for boaters who seek camaraderie and fellowship without pretense.
