Everytime I get an opportunity to go to the club, it always makes me want to join. From the staff to the members, they make you feel welcomed, privileged and honored. I wish I could afford to join...My many thanks to a great evening last week.

Visiting from Oakland Yacht Club. They were very welcoming and the food is fantastic! Great place, great staff, great people.

We we’re sailing north from Mexico to San Francisco and needed a place to stop and regroup for the night. Another local yacht club was booked so we were resigned to anchor out. Not very comfortable. I spent some additional time looking closely at Navionics and noticed another local yacht club named Dana West Yacht Club. Thank God! I traversed through their phone tree as we were only an hour away and we had cell service being so close to shore. A cell phone number led us to Ray, the Dock Master. Ray not only answered his cell phone on Labor Day, he carefully crafted directions to the guest slip of the marina! Ray was professional, caring, kind hearted and sympathetic to our situation. We can’t thank Ray enough for his help. Luckily we met Ray in the Yacht Club that evening and had the opportunity to thank him in person. We recommend DWYC to everyone!

★★★★★Ron Hascall

A wonderful Yacht Club. People there are so friendly. Live entertainment on many weekends! The bar staff is very friendly they make great drinks. Chef Joel and his crew put out some incredible food! It can get crowded especially during the summer on the weekends. But everybody's really friendly so just squeeze in and have a good time!
