Yacht Charter in Alameda, CA

Alameda is Yaachtly's home port. Most of our fleet boards here, on the Oakland–Alameda estuary just across the water from San Francisco, which makes it one of the easiest places in the Bay Area to start a private charter — free-flowing parking, calm-water boarding, and open Bay minutes from the dock. From Alameda you're a short cruise from the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, the San Francisco waterfront, and Alcatraz.

Every charter is private to your group, on a captained vessel. Private whole-boat charters start at $675 per hour for an intimate six-guest cruise and run to $2,300 per hour for an event yacht, up to $3,400 per hour for the 92-ft Westport superyacht. Chef-prepared dining is priced per guest, from $190. Occasion, décor, and catering packages are quoted per event.

• Home port — most Yaachtly vessels are berthed here
• Easy arrival — straightforward parking and calm-water boarding
• Fast to open Bay — minutes to the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, and the SF skyline

Why do Yaachtly charters board in Alameda?

Alameda puts you on open Bay water within minutes — no long motor out — with easier parking and calmer boarding than the San Francisco waterfront. It's the Bay's best-kept boarding secret.

Is there parking at the Alameda marina?

Yes — parking is available at the marina, and your confirmation email includes exact directions to the dock and where to leave the car.

Do all Yaachtly yachts board in Alameda?

Alameda is home port for the full fleet — event yachts, motor yachts, the superyacht, and our classic yacht. Select cruises also offer San Francisco pickups at Pier 40 by Oracle Park or the Ferry Building.

How far is Alameda from San Francisco?

About 20–30 minutes by car from downtown San Francisco, across the Bay Bridge or via the Webster Tube from Oakland. Rideshares drop at the marina; your captain's dock directions make the last steps easy.

Can guests join from San Francisco instead?

On select experiences, yes — our classic yacht cruise offers San Francisco boarding at Pier 40 next to Oracle Park or at the Ferry Building. Check the experience page or ask when booking.
