About

Who are Napa Valley Yacht Club

Discover a boating community right here in Napa. Napa Valley Yacht Club brings people together along the Napa River, with regular Friday-evening gatherings, club dinners, and a shared enthusiasm for life on the water. For boat owners living nearby, it’s an opportunity to meet fellow boaters and make the club part of your local social life—not just a destination to visit by yacht.

Connect With Fellow Boaters: You don’t need to plan a voyage to enjoy an evening at the club. Members gather on Fridays beginning at 5 p.m., and regular Friday-night dinners offer a chance to share stories, exchange boating experiences, and get to know people who share your interests. A clubhouse bar adds to the social setting; dinner reservations are required in advance.

Enjoy Your Local Waterfront: The club offers more than a place to tie up a boat. With an outdoor barbecue grill and bocce court, it provides opportunities to spend time together ashore. Its Napa River location also puts downtown restaurants, wine-tasting rooms, and brewpubs within a short riverfront walk, connecting club life with the wider Napa community

Be Part of a Boating Community: Alongside its social activities, Napa Valley Yacht Club supports practical boating needs, with a 185-foot dock, 24 power hookups, and free Coast Guard boat inspections available upon request. For nearby boat owners, the club combines waterfront facilities with something equally valuable: a place to build connections around a shared love of boating
