Discovery Bay Yacht Club Opening Day to feature more boats

The Discovery Bay Yacht Club will officially launch its 2024 cruising season with the Opening Day Boat Parade on Saturday, April 13 at noon with a big increase in the number of boats over last year. This year, almost three dozen boats have registered to participate, up from 19 last year, according to event organizers. That number has risen since parade was canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, 10 boats signed up, then 14 the next year, organizers said.

The opening day parade tradition began in 1986 and continues year after year for club members and the public to welcome warmer weather to the Delta region.

An annual event, the parade cruises through the bays of Discovery Bay, with its crews waving at house parties as they pass by. This year’s parade theme is Honoring Our Heroes. Parade leader Carolyn Graham said though boat owners are encouraged to decorate their vessels accordingly, it is not required.

“We ask that people decorate their boats, if they choose to do so, honoring heroes, branches of service, or honoring teachers or nurses,” Graham said.

She noted the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Marine Patrol Unit will participate, along with Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s fire boat. They will be joined by participants from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Gold Star Families and the Reclamation 800 District.

“We are thrilled we can give them a big ovation as they go by the houses and parties,” Graham said.

The parade is open to the public, not just yacht club members, and all power boats are welcome. Staff Commodore Mike Guzzardo said those with smaller boats are welcome to join as well.

“There’s a lot of people out there who have a ski boat who don’t think it’s for them,” he said. “But it’s for any boat, a ski boat, a pontoon boat. As long as your boat can keep up at five, six miles an hour, you’re in.”

Guzzardo said participating in the parade gives boaters an opportunity to see the town from the water as well as other boats. Parade participants also get to attend the after party at the DBYC club house, with a DJ and food and beverage available for purchase.

Decorated boats will be eligible for prizes in their size category.

“It’s going to be a fabulous family event, and we hope many people come out to watch,” Graham said.

The parade can be viewed from the Discovery Bay Marina, 5901 Marina Road.
