Founded in 1927, the St. Francis Yacht Club is one of the most esteemed yacht clubs in the world. The club's annual regatta schedule includes over 140 days on the water with multiple National and World championships. Our race management team, supported by hundreds of volunteers, runs some of the most professional racing in the country. Within the clubhouse there are three distinct dining areas that feature a high-end wine and culinary program set to perhaps the best scenery in all of San Francisco. Our professional staff, excellent facilities and extensive experience is complemented perfectly by our ideal venue. Nestled against the spectacular backdrop of the Golden Gate bridge, the Marin Headlands and Alcatraz Island, we provide our visitors with every comfort while dazzling them with their surroundings.
