Richmond Riviera Regatta

Register Now

We've got a big new Regatta: you know around the cans on Saturday, up, down, up down; it's enough to make your head spin.

Then Sunday a Big Bay Tour; around the Central Bay, perfect for a Big Boat Tune-up.

I'm a little tired and a lot thirsty; what's next?

The Docks and the Deck at the Richmond Yacht Club, of course! One of the very few places on the Central Bay where Summer feels like Summer should feel; you know - WARM!

Richmond knows how to put on a Race, and everyone knows we really know how to put on a party!

Food, Live Music, Dancing!
Join us for a "Party with a Conscience"

This Regatta will benefit local organizations helping our neighbors in need.

We've found four Non-Profits which offer counseling, training and opportunity to Richmond residents in need. Supporting folks who help people help themselves makes this a special event.

Come on to the RYC; raft in the harbor. If you want to stay a little longer, arrange additional nights, Friday or Sunday (or both) by calling:

The Parties

A great regatta has a great party, and the RRR is going to lead the pack!

Friday night is "A Taste of Richmond" where Richmond's best restaurants strut their stuff for the Regatta's Skippers and Tacticians, Key Sponsors and VIPs. This party will be held in an exclusive location with a limited guest list.

Participating restaurants will debut new creations and their specialties for the guests. Live music will entertain this party. A limited number of tickets will be available on this website; check back for availability, and register on this site to receive party updates.

Saturday night will be the regatta party, and it will be classic. The best regatta parties on the Bay have been at Richmond Yacht Club for many years, where they know how it's done. The Richmond Riviera Regatta will feature great food at the dinner, drinks served with panache by Norm and Olivia, and the music will be by the rockin'est band on the bay, Fast Times.

Dim lights

The Richmond Riviera Regatta combines all the things that we love about sailing on San Francisco Bay. At the Richmond Riviera Regatta you'll experience:

Great Sailing: San Francisco Bay in August provides abundant wind and warm sunshine.

Two Course Areas: "Deepwater Course" for IRC and bigger PHRF boats in the Central Bay and the "Riviera Course" for smaller PHRF boats in the North Bay. One design boats get to choose!

Experienced Race Committees: The Richmond Yacht Club regularly hosts National and International regattas, and Club members compete at all levels in everything from dinghies to bluewater racing.
