The mission of the St. Francis Yacht Club is to serve as the inspirational center of boating activities regionally and a leader of yachting internationally. We honor camaraderie, sportsmanship, tradition and the maritime heritage of San Francisco in a premier yachting environment.
Each year, StFYC’s top race management team hosts 130 days of competition or more, including national and international sailing championships for everything from classics to kiteboards. The height of the season is the annual Rolex Big Boat Series.
They say if you learn to sail on San Francisco Bay, you can sail anywhere. Generations of St. Francis Yacht Club sailors would agree. Our professional coaching staff offers youth sailing opportunities year-round with programs at the City clubhouse and summer sailing camps on Tinsley Island. Instruction is available for all skill levels and open to members and non-members.
With a clubhouse featuring three dining rooms, multiple event spaces and docking on the shores of San Francisco Bay plus a private island in the Sacramento Delta, our members and their guests enjoy on-water activity and camaraderie year-round.
