South Beach Yacht Club

South Beach Yacht Club strives to host a full schedule of cruises. Generally, a cruise to another Bay Area yacht club or other on-the-water activity is held most every month. Cruises are the best way for new members to get to know others and join in the fun. If you're new to SBYC, get your name on the list for the very next cruise!

We try to plan Flotillas at least once a year. These are a great way for bareboaters of all experience levels to get sailing time in exotic locales. Flotilla leaders have extensive experience and usually have an in-depth knowledge of the cruising grounds and local hot-spots. Here are a few photos from the 2006 St Vincent trip.
