This huge bay offers a sailing area all of its own and, naturally a large number of options for berthing and anchoring. Be aware that the tidal stream can reach over 5 knots under the Bridge.
San Francisco Yacht Harbor is to sta'bd once through the Golden Gate bridge, also Gashouse Cove marina, Fisherman’s wharf and Pier 39 marinas. Clipper Yacht Harbor and Marina Plaza Harbor are just two of the many marinas at Sausalito, which is to port once through the GG Bridge.
Treasure Island Marina is directly across the bay from the GG Bridge, at Berkeley. China Basin is further into the Bay and to sta'bd, past the Oakland bay Bridge and there are several marinas across the Bay around Alameda and Oakland. Oyster Cove & Oyster Point marinas are in the southern part of the city.
At Ayala Cove, Angel Island, there is a large, new mooring field (as anchoring is no longer permitted here). The mooring balls are available for overnight use, and the docks for day use only. Rafting is allowed. The fees are $20 per overnight on a mooring ball and $10 per day on the docks. The cove REQUIRES that boats tie bow and stern between two mooring balls (with bow toward
Northeast) to use space efficiently and to avoid damage to the mooring
system.
China Cove also offers an anchorage and often there will be three or four boats anchored near shore here, but there is little relief from the wakes of passing ships and ferries.
Private boats aren't allowed to dock at Alcatraz.

Berkeley Yacht Club One Seawall Drive, Berkeley, California 94710 Tel:510-843-9292 (office) www.berkeleyyc.org Berkeley Yacht Club is on the south side of the entrance channel to the Berkeley Marina There is a guest dock, but the club does not provide permanent berthing.
Berkeley Yacht Club uses minimal professional staff. Bartenders are usually members, and when there is no bartender on duty the members are free to serve from the bar themselves. Members have keys to the club, and in contrast to many other yacht clubs that are closed during most of the week, BYC can be opened any time by members who wish to use the lounge, bar, or kitchen facilities. This makes the club particularly attractive to live-aboards, who often use these dining and socializing spaces in the clubhouse. This in turn has the effect of keeping the club socially active during the week, even when no events are planned and no groups are using the meeting rooms.

Pier 39 is also home to several hundred sea lions who moved in and took over the marina shortly after it was built. Being a protected species, and realizing the tourist attraction they became it didn't seem expedient to evict them from their new home.
