Alameda Yacht Club

I am a brand spanking new member of AYC, and I absolutely love the place. The people there are down to earth, kind, and generous. I look forward to being associated with the club for many many more years.

Nice venue, great patio, cheap drinks. Would rate higher, but the drink ordering for guests is a problem. They keep costs down by not naving a bartender on duty — members just go behind the bar and make their own. A great setup if you are a member, but guests have to wait until a member happens to be back there and beg them to make you a drink. So, if you go — order a tall drink becuase you might not get another one for a while…

My mother is a member of this club, and we had a great time here. The drinks are CHEAP!!! All of the members are friendly, its right on the water, with a great view of the marina. And these guys can party!!! If u ever get a chance to go here with a member, go… Its a blast!

a friend has a sail boat here and i stayed on it my first time aboard a boat and staying the night like camping out boat life is really cool.

We went to Alameda Yacht Club for a friend’s birthday party, and we had a blast!!! Everyone was so laid back, the drinks — OMG… soooooo cheap, and yummy. Was a bit hard to find… otherwise, it’s a great party place! Will definitely be back if invited by a member again.

I have a work friend who is a member of this yacht club. My first idea of a ‘yacht club’ is probably the typical idea of what a ‘country club’ would be. I was horribly wrong on that assumption.
She invited me over for their Super Bowl party since I had nothing else going on besides sitting alone and watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet for hours on end.
We got there a little before 3pm and mostly everyone was already drunk. Everyone is so nice and laid back. As stated before, these guys seriously know how to party. There was a chili cook off where the winner gets $ 100. It was for members only, though but the guests can eat it once the judging was done. My friend didn’t win this time but I did like hers over the winner’s chili. Maybe next year. They have weekly dinners and other events going throughout the year so maybe I’ll be invited for another one soon.
I was also the youngest person there and apparently became really popular with some older men. One of them even had the balls to come up to me and say I had a really nice body and I don’t even think he was drunk either. Later on, my boyfriend said that I should’ve taken advantage of that and used him for his money. Uhhhh, no thanks, this isn’t Indecent Proposal, dude.

These guys seriously know how to party. It’s not a young crowd by any means, but they drink like the sailors that they are. Very friendly atmosphere. Then there’s that big brass bell on the bar… looks so tempting, why not just give it a ring? Everyone will love you if you do. Except your financial planner.
