Premier San Francisco Bay Yachting & Boating Since 1968
Located at Ballena Isle Marina, the only Alameda harbor directly on the San Francisco Bay!
Ballena Bay Yacht Club (BBYC) is an all volunteer club that provides facilities, activities, and programs related to boating and other on-the-water activities. We welcome new members, whether they are boat owners or not, with an interest in sailing, powerboating, or paddle and rowing sports.
Members enjoy reciprocal privileges at 100+ Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association (PICYA) and 600+ Yachting Club of America (YCA) affiliated yacht clubs, which includes most of the clubs in the Bay Area. We also offer access to our private Sand Bar, a fully stocked bar with marina views, two patios, TVs, Wi-Fi, restrooms, and a pool table during bar hours (Associate Members) or 24/7 with a club key fob (Regular or Senior Members). BBYC hosts yacht club cruise ins and cruise outs to reciprocating yacht clubs around the San Francisco Bay, member dinners, presentations, live music, luxury yacht cruises, and more!
Join us for fun on the water with your friends and neighbors and become part of an Alameda institution!
