St Francis Yacht Club Watching Blue Angels on a corp boat Fri 10/8/21 Would I have wanted to be a member of this private club? Sure, what's not to like one might ask? Would I have wanted to have my boat parked at San Francis Yacht Basin? Would I have wanted to own a boat in the first place? Here's the scoop of my personal experience. Stepping inside was a mistake. Yes, they have lunches in the Main Dining Room & Clippership Wed, Thur, Fri 12-2:30 pm and 11-2:30 pm on the weekends. Dinners served on the above mentioned days 5-7:30 pm. Grill Room Bar & Trophy Deck will offer you beverage service 5-9 pm Mon & Tue, 5 pm -12 am on Wed, Thur, Fri and beginning at noon till 12 am on the weekends. There was a special buffet lunch in the Main Dining room on the day of my visit, Friday Oct 8. The entrance hall is an expansive space with nicely appointed marine details, high-ceilinged, with gorgeous view of the body of water. A spiral staircase leading upstairs to Main Dining Room displays memorabilia along the walls. There are three intricate model boats on display behind glass covered case. That's where my experience had ended, abruptly. That's as far as I was able to advance. In search for the boat I've been invited to visit, you would think staff would direct you or at least offer help to locate someone who could. Wrong! You'd be irked and embarrassed instead, and asked to leave. After reading reviews I'm not surprised to have been treated this way, apparently Club members are not treated much better. Hospitality? What's that? Arrogance seems to be flying in the air. Polite inquiry here commands back a snooty disdain. Bloated sense of self importance will suffocate you instantly. By the way. I'm wearing Dolce jeans, Italian designer parka, Chrome Hearts eyewear, I'm presentable guy in collectors closing (although I hear they enforce a dress code of no jeans and require men to wear a jacket). Cheers? Not. Review #648 posted with 8 pictures on October 21, 2021 Invitation: San Francis Yacht Basin Marina & Broderick San Francisco St Francis Yacht Club Friday, October 8 at 1:00 PM to Saturday, October 9 at 4:00 PM Please drop by and join us for a casual open house on [boat name], located at the St Francis Yacht Club, and enjoy front row seats to the Blue Angels (they fly Friday and Saturday at 3pm; the boat will be open from noon to 6pm each day). Drinks and light snacks will be provided. Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night St Francis Yacht Club. San Francisco Fleet Week. Blue Angels 10/8/21

I was an invited guest at this yacht club, and a seemingly racist member screamed at me. I was then kicked out. I attended a private event at St. Francis Yacht Club as an invited guest--my friend's company threw a small party to celebrate his move to San Francisco. After the event, we went to the bar area with some members of the yacht club and some non-members. After most people had left and I was having a quiet conversation with two friends at a table, and a woman from the bar came over, got in my face, and started yelling at me. She said that I was a socialist who supports Palestine and she knows that I'm not a member. My table of 3 people included the only 2 nonwhite people at the bar at this time, and we were talking about Burning Man and our summer plans. There was no mention of Palestine or socialism (although it would be our right to have a private conversation about these things if we wished to). The woman said she was from Ukraine and continued screaming at me about Palestine. I assume she targeted me because I'm a young-looking woman of color and fit the demographic of those who support Palestine. My partner, who is white, put out his arm to keep her back from me (she was really in my face) and then she started yelling at him for touching her. After a few minutes of her nonsensical screaming, the bartender came and tapped me on the shoulder. To my surprise, he asked me to leave the club! I asked why I was being asked to leave and he said that I had upset a member. The security guard then escorted us out, although he did privately tell me he thought her behavior was inappropriate, but he had to do whatever the members wanted. I am absolutely disgusted at this racist institution that allows its members to be dictators and use the staff to remove people they don't want in their club. I at no point raised my voice or used any offensive language, and I was still escorted out by security and this belligerent, screaming woman was allowed to remain at the club.

I had an event there yesterday.. Pro: It was a perfect day for it and it was a great sight looking out the window capturing all the scenes of sailboats and the Golden Gate Bridge. I do like the layout of the room. Con: At the end of the event, some of the workers were taking food and told my mom we couldn't pack the food (my aunt in law and cousin in law bought) to take home! What in the world is this?! We pay you for the event and the delicious food but can't take it home?! Only to find out from another worker had told us you take it to the break room to eat!!!!!!!! This is unheard of and unacceptable! Do you really think that this is good business?! To me, that's really absurd! I've never NEVER had that happen to me! I hope you all understand that you are here to not to only throw events here but to treat your guests kindly. I don't understand why you didn't let us take food when (like I said above), you take it to the break room to only eat it after we gave you the money to be here and enjoy this day! It was the first and the last time I'm coming here since this made me feel less than a guest. I'm not coming here to be all petty but seriously, do better on this.

Layout of the table and scene of the Golden Gate Bridge

Over the years I have had many memorable meals and enjoyed exceptional events at this beautiful club. However, an incident on Friday night was beyond the pale. Three of us (2 Asian women and a Caucasian man) were chatting and laughing next to the dessert table at the seafood buffet. I was in a blue cocktail dress, our host in a dinner jacket, and our friend was dressed in black. A member, Mrs. Miller, barged in on our conversation glaring us, shouting "What is this, a cocktail party? My husband still waiting for his coffee!" The three of us were shocked and as our jaws hit the ground, she continued, "Don't you work here?!" I managed to blurt out "No!" Mrs. Miller stormed off without her coffee. A bit later, staff who witnessed this confrontation apologized to us and said this was normal for this particular member. I hope someone reports her to the club and she gets called out on her racism. Even if I had been staff, abusing the people who work there cannot be acceptable. She ruined an otherwise wonderful evening.

Our group dined here for lunch today, and it was great. The views were spectacular and the food was very good.

What a charming event space! Came here for an event during the nighttime and the location was absolutely amazing. The Yacht club hosts absolutely gorgeous views of the Golden Gate and the rolling mountains of San Francisco. Their private beach is also very secluded and quiet. Not sure if its considered private property but would definitely recommend checking it out. The food was also pretty good. The brownies and the blondies were both amazing, not too sweet with walnuts on the inside. I would stray from the chocolate chip cookies though, seems like a store bought item rather than a homemade one. The other little pastries were delicious, especially the steak crostini. Yum! Definitely recommend hosting events here for the amazing views and the good food. Also the venue is just absolutely spectacular. No complaints here!

View outside the club

World class yacht club just at the entrance to the golden gate. Beautiful view from every window. And they organize some amazing events.

What a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marina waters! I was in awe when looking about and it was near sunset so the natural colors were wonderful. In terms of the Yacht Club, nice dining area and upstairs open bar lounge. Live music was happening. Cash only at the bar. It was a classic kind of vibe attending an event here. More like behave and be proper than get rowdy! It was fun.

I've been here a few times now, always for an event, celebration, or just simply yachting our with friends. We always had a great time. Love the wall of fame here, decorated in photos of rich history of this club through out the hall ways and lounge. The ocean view, on a nice day, take you to the San Francisco Bay and under near the famous Golden Gate Bridge, you can't get any better than that. The service is good, the food is fair, and the vibe is not as snobby as it could be. Parking can be a challenged on special days/events so plan it ahead accordingly. And always bring layers when you are here even on a sunny day! This part of town is always 8-10 degree cooler than SoMa or the Embarcadero/The SF Giants Ball Park.

This is a members only club. They won't serve you cocktails unless your a member, but no one checks at the front door so you can walk in enjoy the spectacular views and the patio. If you're looking for an event space, they have several rooms with bars already set up. Always pass by here on my long walks down in the Marina.

St. Francis Yacht Club

Becoming st. francis.

St. Francis Yacht Club was founded in 1927 by a group of 21 San Francisco yachtsmen with a vision of a club in the City. It was an offshoot of the San Francisco Yacht Club, which was founded in 1856 and had its facility in Sausalito, across the Bay. That facility burned to the ground in the mid-twenties and a fierce debate raged after the fire between those who lived in Marin County and those who lived in San Francisco. The city-dwellers wanted to relocate to San Francisco—not surprising given that this was before the Golden Gate Bridge, so SF members had to travel by water to their club. Members from Marin found a suitable location in Belvedere against the wishes of their SF membership and pulled some fast and furious moves to secure the right number of votes to make it happen. This so offended the SF members that they chose to leave San Francisco Yacht Club and form their own club: the St. Francis Yacht Club.

Today, there is great camaraderie between the two clubs and many members belong to both.

St. Francis Yacht Club

The history of st. francis yacht club  , becoming st. francis, a yacht club in the city, the club buys an island.

With San Francisco summers often foggy, windy and cold, StFYC members started a search for a warmer option in the mid-1950s. In 1958, that destination was secured when a small group of members pooled personal funds and purchased a 21-acre, overgrown island in the Delta for $10,750. Our little slice of heaven on the San Joaquin River, Tinsley Island, was founded. A plaque commemorating those generous visionaries may be found in the lighthouse on Tinsley Island.

WE STARTED SOMETHING BIG

In 1964, St. Francis Yacht Club welcomed eight yachts to the inaugural St. Francis Perpetual Trophy Regatta. Four boats came from Southern California:  Odyssey ,  Kialoa ,  Audacious  and  Kamalii ; and four from Northern California:  Athene ,  Baruna ,  Ocean Queen IV  and  Santana . The regatta was soon nicknamed the “Big Boat Series.” Since then, the Rolex Big Boat Series has earned a reputation as the West Coast’s premier regatta. St. Francis Yacht Club is proud to host hundreds of sailors each September, drawing great sailors from all the great ports of the blue planet to race in our famous front yard.  

93 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE...AND COUNTING

People and boats make the sport of yacht racing, and for 90+ years, through members, guests, pros, and generations of kids insisting, "I'm not cold; let me try it again," we've known the best of both.

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.

Our App enables the sailors to have the boat´s performance tracked live and to be able to review the performance later on. The app can be complemented by a tracking device that you can have on your boat.

Presentation to the St. Francis Yacht Club

Feb 23, 2024

We appreciated the opportunity to make a lunchtime presentation at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco earlier this  week. The audience was engaged and receptive, both during after the presentation.

They’ve posted the presentation online (see video below). It’s an hour long, including Q & A. If you have time, please check it out.

We have made a great many presentations over the years – often alone, and sometimes in a debate format. We’ve spoken to schools, conservation groups, water utilities, social clubs – most anyone who wants to listen.

Speaking in San Francisco is always a little different. For many of the City’s residents, “Hetch Hetchy” is synonymous with water itself, and there is often a strong historical & emotional tie to their best-known reservoir. One member told me that she typically asks for “Hetch Hetchy water” when she goes to a restaurant. I’d been forewarned that some members were less than enthusiastic that our campaign for restoration would be discussed at their club, but there was no overt opposition.

Some members were clearly intrigued. Others asked tough questions, belying skepticism.  The presentation and especially the Q & A were primarily focused on necessary water improvements. By contrast, when we speak in the East Bay, Sacramento or southern California, people are more likely to ask about how visiting Hetch Hetchy will compare with visiting Yosemite Valley.

Anyhow, when you have a chance, relax with your favorite beverage and check out the video. Let us know what you think – and feel free to reach out if you’d like to schedule a presentation for a group in your area.
