San Diego Yacht Club
San Diego Yacht Club sits on Anchorage Lane off Shelter Island, one of San Diego's most storied sailing addresses with a rich history that includes multiple America's Cup campaigns. The vibe here is serious sailing culture, with a tight-knit membership community and a clubhouse that looks out over a bustling stretch of San Diego Bay. If you're heading out to Catalina, the club also maintains an outstation near Avalon, giving you a destination to aim for on longer passages. Reach them at 619.222.1103 to find out about access and membership.
