The Encinal Yacht Club was founded in 1890 by a group of boating enthusiasts to insure the continuation of recreational sailing and boating on the San Francisco Bay. We have a comprehensive racing and cruising programme throughout the year.

Pacific Mariners Yacht Club was formed in early 1963, and moved into its first clubhouse early in the fall of 1966, with membership of over 125. We've been in our current facilities since 1968.

PMYC hosts the Wooden Hull One More Time Regatta each year in February, and the Stein Series which includes PHRF classes, and one-design fleets, usually in the late spring. We also sponsor the Heather Perkoff Series for PHRF and one-design fleets, and during the summer months, PMYC hosts the Women On The Water/Women At The Helm Race as well as South Bay Yacht Racing Club's Special Events.

PMYC today remains one of very few remaining yacht clubs that is still truly a 'do-it-yourself' club. Our club is still run completely by the members themselves with no paid staff. The club has always prided itself on its spirit of being the "most fun and friendly" Club around. PMYC's reputation in the yacht club community is well known for its hospitality and friendliness As a result, Pacific Mariners Yacht Club is considered a must stop for many cruisers who venture up and down the west coast of the United States and Mexico each cruising season. Many of these cruisers also make use of our club adjacent guest dock.
