Cruising In


Ahoy and thank you for your interest in cruising to Oakland Yacht Club - we have a wonderful guest dock available for cruisers! Kindly email our Port Captain [email protected], or our Assistant Harbormaster,  ([email protected]) if you’d like to reserve a cruise-in date. You will need to complete the Guest Berthing Form and provide copies of your boats insurance, registration/documentation and valid ID. 

Oakland Yacht Club is a member of the Pacific Inter Club Yacht Association (PICYA); we extend the courtesy of waiving the second night’s dock fee to visitors.   If your yacht club or boating association would like to present a burgee to OYC, we will display it in our bar area during your cruise-in. OYC is a casual and friendly club, so relax and enjoy your time with us!
