About Us

TIYC is a small yacht club located at Clipper Cove on Treasure Island at the heart of the San Francisco Bay. Originally founded as a US Navy recreation club, the club was re-established by a group of committed members after the Navy base closed. Today, TIYC membership is open to civilian, military and veteran applicants. Our membership includes power and sailing boaters who are interested in racing, cruising, and social activities. TIYC is affiliated with the Pacific Inter-Club Yachting Association, the U.S. Naval Sailing Association, Yachting Club of America and the Yacht Racing Association of San Francisco Bay.

Clipper Cove

TIYC is located at Clipper Cove, a TIDA special use area requiring an anchoring permit for extend stays. The cove offers open anchorage with no fixed moorings, and affords some shelter during western and northerly weather systems; with a mud bottom and depths up to 20 feet. Shoals, underwater hazards and shallow areas should be avoided.

Treasure Island Yacht Harbor

The Treasure Island Marina is managed by Almar Marina which is a separate organization from TIYC. For slip reservations please contact the Marina Manager, Anthony Cirillo, at 415-981-2416.

Driving to Treasure Island
Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands are accessible via the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge/Interstate 80. Whether travelling from San Francisco or the Oakland/East Bay area, follow Interstate 80 onto the Bay Bridge and take the "Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island" exit. If traveling from the East Bay, a toll is required to access the Bay Bridge. There are no gas stations located on-Island.

Treasure Island Transformation

Treasure Island and the Treasure Isle Marina are in the midst of a significant and ambitious renovation program. Despite this substantial refurbishment, Treasure Island Yacht Harbor remains open to the public and currently accommodates boats up to 60 feet in length. There are very limited slips available for visiting boaters. If you plan to arrive via boat — learn more about access to Clipper Cove and Treasure Island Marina: Visitors Page.
