The Loch Lomond Yacht Club is a destination for sailors and power-boaters.  We are a small pocket harbor in a serene and beautiful area nestled between historic China Camp and Mt. Tamalpais. 

We welcome visits by other yacht clubs.  If you plan to cruise-in, please check the tide chart and navigation pages thoroughly. The channel is narrow and the directions must be followed exactly.

There are 30 amp power posts and water is available. DUE TO COVID-19, MARINA BATHROOM/SHOWER FACILITIES ARE FOR MARINA TENANTS ONLY!
