Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Club's guest policy?

    In order to comply with California's Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) rules, all visitors to our Club must be a member-in-good-standing of a reciprocal Yacht Club or bona fide guests of an SBYC member. If you are a guest, your sponsoring member must be physically present at the Club in order to be served at the bar. When visiting, all guests must sign our guest book and wear a guest badge.


  • Do we have reciprocity with other Yacht Clubs?

    Reciprocity is a written agreement between Yacht Clubs that states that visiting members of the signatory Clubs will be provided the same rights and privileges as their own members. This is necessary, per ABC rules, in order to serve alcohol to members of visiting Yacht Clubs. Most Bay Area Yacht Clubs have a reciprocity agreement in place.


  • Can I reserve or rent the Club for private events?

    Review the Club Usage Policy.  Then contact the Rear Commodore to contact to schedule use of the clubhouse.  Email to Rear_Commodore@sierrapointyc.org


  • Why can't I take my beer/drink down to my boat?

    In order to comply with ABC regulations, all alcohol purchased at the Club must be consumed on the premises. You cannot purchase alcohol to take off-premises, opened or not. In addition, you cannot bring alcohol into the club.


  • How do I reserve a slip for the weekend?

    All slips must be arranged through the Harbor Master. Both guest/transient berthing and organized group (cruise-in) reservations are available.


  • How do I make arrangements for a cruise-in?

    The Port Captain is the person that cruise-ins need to contact to schedule use of the clubhouse. Email to Port_Captain@sierrapointyc.org
