Nice place to hangout and you can look over by the water. We went here to this place to get our award from our yacht club. Village west yacht club
Be very careful when joining this place. We joined this place a few years ago and when we left and let them know we were leaving they continued to bill us. We contacted the manager and sent several letters to no avail. We have not heard from them after 3 years and continue to get notices. They either have a very slow billing system and staff or are trying to pull a scam by ignoring our letters. Carefull...
Encinal Yacht Club has turned itself around in the last 5 years to become one of the most active clubs. They accomplished this by becoming active with yacht racing, hosting nautical events at the club and improving facilities. Had dinner several times and they have a professional staff to serve meals. Although, the Oakland YC next door has a better Sunday breakfast program, which we always seem to gravitate towards when we dock at Encinal YC. It's always a pleasure to visit the club because the layout is pleasant, the weather is warm and the people are friendly. It's a nice retreat from the cold chills in the central bay.
I have a few friends who are members here, and they seem to love it. I say that because they're always talking about it and trying to get me to join...even though I don't have a boat. That said, it does actually seem like a fun place to hang out. Venue: I've been here a couple times attending event for an organization. Both times, we were in the main hall, upstairs. There's a dining area and a bar. Fantastic decor that makes you feel like you're in a yacht club. The bar was actually built from a portion of a boat. Great view of the estuary and Oakland. It'd be a great place for a reception of some sort. Service: I can only speak to the bartender's performance, which was poor. I can understand that people may not tip much at some of these event, but I think they should be made aware that being treated poorly at the bar sets a really bad tone for the entire evening.
I just had my wedding here! Wow it was the most perfect view and service. Ellena the event coordinator did an amazing job with the details in the wedding. She was very flexible and so caring. The whole staff did a great job. Best service ever! Special Thank you to Mannys catering! He's caters in the club and off site. The food was out of this world! We had compliments the whole night!
Went here for a company party, and the lower level was not very nice. They only had one bartender for a party of about 60 people. The back patio was great - very nice view of the Alameda harbor and the bay.
My husband and I decided to visit because a friend of ours works there and told us to "stop by sometime." This is a members only yacht club, but they do allow visitors (you must check in downstairs in the office." The wait staff (dang, I forgot his name already...) was very polite, friendly and helpful. The manager stopped by our table and told us all about the club; he was very friendly and polite as well. We had breakfast and the food was very good.
Bit pricey but pretty good food and excellent views. Very relaxing and good service. You need a membership.
Everybody loves their yacht club, so here's an outsider's perspective. Over the past 4 years I've been to every major club in S.F. Bay. Here are the plusses & minuses: The Plusses: 1. It has a pool 2. It has a professionally staffed bar and dining room. 3. It's decently dressed up, looking better than the Kiwanis Club style of yacht club. 4. Overnight docking was free, like in Richmond. 5. All staff were friendly/helpful, though we never did find the Harbormaster. Here are the Minuses: 1. the docking is crowded and unstable. Fine for capable sailors who can end tie and walk on a swaying deck, but don't bring your grandparents down to your boat. Most places have nearby marinas, or at least full slips to dock in. Not here. Not much room. 2. It's in the estuary, taking fully one hour to motor up to the Bay Bridge. The wind is diminished by the island, and you'll have to decide if you like that or not. Small craft can do a little safe sailing, and the channel is deep, but it's a big industrial park. Absolutely zero ambiance - reminded me of the San Pablo club up near the Richmond Oil tanks. If you're going to be on the Alameda island, why the heck wouldn't you be at Baleena where you turn out of the marina and immediately into the widest part of the bay for sailing? 3. The food was average, but priced a bit over average, thus a 2 star value. No cappuccino. Staff was helpful, but very busy. They have a view and decks outside, if you want to watch the Coast Guard island and container ships being unloaded...;^) 4. The night I cruised in, they were having a wedding. That meant we all had to eat in the bar (which is spacious). The music was so loud, even with partitions, that you couldn't hear 2 people away (you could talk to your neighbor and they'd pass it on). Just horrible ambiance. If you hear a party is being held, and it's not yours, go somewhere else. In fact, if you're a real sailor, go to Sierra Point, Baleena, or one of the Name Clubs around the Slot (if you can afford them). You'll save hours a week getting to/from the real sailing, and your view will be nicer.
Nothing like spending an afternoon on the deck in the sun with a drink watching all the activities. Great club, great people and a spectacular, elegant new bar. My 2 girls learned how to sail here via the EYC Junior Sailing Program, which is by far the best on the bay. What could be cooler than spending your summer vacation with friends, sailing, swimming in the pool and evening BBQ's. Great place, check it out!
