A Bit of Background

Wheel.jpg

Coyote Point Yacht Club is located at Coyote Point Park in San Mateo, between the bay Bridge to the North, and the San Mateo Bridge to the South.  Within the park grounds, you will find the CuriOdyssey Museum and the Poplar Golf Course.  The park grounds also feature biking and walking trails, as well as picnic tables.  


The club features a guest dock, an expansive backyard with BBQ facilities, showers facilities, locker rentals, and free ice. A pump-out station and gas dock are available at the marina. Members enjoy reciprocal privileges at most yacht clubs in the SF Bay Area and at many clubs worldwide. Club burgees in our Commodore’s and Regatta rooms attest to our members’ visits to other yacht clubs and visiting yacht clubs to CPYC.

Club at a Glance

March 29-April 5

Club Closure


Due to the damage done to the Coyote Point Recreation Area in the recent storms, and especially to the power grid failure in the park, CPYC is again closed this weekend. The Park is working hard to re-open the access road and allow access to the marina; However, currently only limited access is allowed for marina tenants.


There is no current estimate for the return of power to the park/club. Consequently, the club and its bathrooms will be closed this weekend.


Please note that the Andy Byrd Regatta scheduled for this morning is postponed.


The first Sunset Sail scheduled for April 5 is canceled.


Look for sign-ups for the Cruise to South Beach -- signups will be sent out soon.

Yacht Racing for Fun & Sport

Ever dreamed of trying your hand at sailboat racing? CPYC holds informal “Sunset Races” every Wednesday evening, from April-October, and Winter Races on the 2nd and 4th Sundays from January-March. Hone your skills as a racer, meet the local skippers, perhaps join a crew, or just get a taste of what sailboat racing is all about.

For those who become more serious about the sport, arrange to crew on a boat during the monthly CPYC regattas, which are typically held the first Saturday of the month, or you can always buy your own boat and join us! After the race, come relax with your fellow sailors at the CPYC clubhouse and bar!  Events after each individual race will vary, but may include cookouts, potluck dinners, live entertainment, etc.

CPYC is a member of Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association, where you will find many other opportunities to race with fellow club members from various yacht clubs around the Bay Area.

Something for All Ages

Unless designated otherwise, children are welcome at all club events as guests of members.  The club has a large, enclosed back yard with plenty of space for children to play and run. Age appropriate games and activities are available for check out.  The club also has a widely popular Youth Sailing program, with sessions every summer.  A few of the current club members got their feet wet (literally) with this popular program.  


For “Old Timers,” there are occasional “Old Time Brunches” where long-time members can get together and reminisce.
