Nice place to hangout and you can look over by the water. We went here to this place to get our award from our yacht club. Village west yacht club

Be very careful when joining this place. We joined this place a few years ago and when we left and let them know we were leaving they continued to bill us. We contacted the manager and sent several letters to no avail. We have not heard from them after 3 years and continue to get notices. They either have a very slow billing system and staff or are trying to pull a scam by ignoring our letters. Carefull...

Encinal Yacht Club has turned itself around in the last 5 years to become one of the most active clubs. They accomplished this by becoming active with yacht racing, hosting nautical events at the club and improving facilities. Had dinner several times and they have a professional staff to serve meals. Although, the Oakland YC next door has a better Sunday breakfast program, which we always seem to gravitate towards when we dock at Encinal YC. It's always a pleasure to visit the club because the layout is pleasant, the weather is warm and the people are friendly. It's a nice retreat from the cold chills in the central bay.

I have a few friends who are members here, and they seem to love it. I say that because they're always talking about it and trying to get me to join...even though I don't have a boat. That said, it does actually seem like a fun place to hang out. Venue: I've been here a couple times attending event for an organization. Both times, we were in the main hall, upstairs. There's a dining area and a bar. Fantastic decor that makes you feel like you're in a yacht club. The bar was actually built from a portion of a boat. Great view of the estuary and Oakland. It'd be a great place for a reception of some sort. Service: I can only speak to the bartender's performance, which was poor. I can understand that people may not tip much at some of these event, but I think they should be made aware that being treated poorly at the bar sets a really bad tone for the entire evening.

I just had my wedding here! Wow it was the most perfect view and service. Ellena the event coordinator did an amazing job with the details in the wedding. She was very flexible and so caring. The whole staff did a great job. Best service ever! Special Thank you to Mannys catering! He's caters in the club and off site. The food was out of this world! We had compliments the whole night!

Went here for a company party, and the lower level was not very nice. They only had one bartender for a party of about 60 people. The back patio was great - very nice view of the Alameda harbor and the bay.

My husband and I decided to visit because a friend of ours works there and told us to "stop by sometime." This is a members only yacht club, but they do allow visitors (you must check in downstairs in the office." The wait staff (dang, I forgot his name already...) was very polite, friendly and helpful. The manager stopped by our table and told us all about the club; he was very friendly and polite as well. We had breakfast and the food was very good.

Bit pricey but pretty good food and excellent views. Very relaxing and good service. You need a membership.

Everybody loves their yacht club, so here's an outsider's perspective. Over the past 4 years I've been to every major club in S.F. Bay. Here are the plusses & minuses: The Plusses: 1. It has a pool 2. It has a professionally staffed bar and dining room. 3. It's decently dressed up, looking better than the Kiwanis Club style of yacht club. 4. Overnight docking was free, like in Richmond. 5. All staff were friendly/helpful, though we never did find the Harbormaster. Here are the Minuses: 1. the docking is crowded and unstable. Fine for capable sailors who can end tie and walk on a swaying deck, but don't bring your grandparents down to your boat. Most places have nearby marinas, or at least full slips to dock in. Not here. Not much room. 2. It's in the estuary, taking fully one hour to motor up to the Bay Bridge. The wind is diminished by the island, and you'll have to decide if you like that or not. Small craft can do a little safe sailing, and the channel is deep, but it's a big industrial park. Absolutely zero ambiance - reminded me of the San Pablo club up near the Richmond Oil tanks. If you're going to be on the Alameda island, why the heck wouldn't you be at Baleena where you turn out of the marina and immediately into the widest part of the bay for sailing? 3. The food was average, but priced a bit over average, thus a 2 star value. No cappuccino. Staff was helpful, but very busy. They have a view and decks outside, if you want to watch the Coast Guard island and container ships being unloaded...;^) 4. The night I cruised in, they were having a wedding. That meant we all had to eat in the bar (which is spacious). The music was so loud, even with partitions, that you couldn't hear 2 people away (you could talk to your neighbor and they'd pass it on). Just horrible ambiance. If you hear a party is being held, and it's not yours, go somewhere else. In fact, if you're a real sailor, go to Sierra Point, Baleena, or one of the Name Clubs around the Slot (if you can afford them). You'll save hours a week getting to/from the real sailing, and your view will be nicer.

Nothing like spending an afternoon on the deck in the sun with a drink watching all the activities. Great club, great people and a spectacular, elegant new bar. My 2 girls learned how to sail here via the EYC Junior Sailing Program, which is by far the best on the bay. What could be cooler than spending your summer vacation with friends, sailing, swimming in the pool and evening BBQ's. Great place, check it out!

Encinal Yacht Club

Encinal Yacht Club, being the 3rd oldest yacht club on the Bay, was founded in 1890. The club was established by residents living in Alameda’s Gold Coast, on the south shore of the Island. The club’s unique management structure was set at the beginning, which designated separate Executive and Flag Officer functions. The club became famous for its moonlit parties, regattas, and cruising events. The club encouraged family participation from the very beginning. The first clubhouse was designed and built by Commodore Joseph A. Leonard, at the end of a 1,000-foot pier extending into the bay from the foot of Grand Street. The clubhouse was an elaborate Victorian design, the main floor was reserved for dancing and the second floor was the residence of the club manager. The San Francisco Chronicle declared the clubhouse to be the finest of its type on the entire Pacific Coast.

Soon after the clubhouse was built the members set to establish a fleet of boats and an enviable social calendar. By 1892, the member’s boat fleet numbered about 30, with half of them being small-craft sailing canoes and the remainder being larger sloops and sailing yawls. There was one powerboat – a steam powered launch. Social events included Opening Day each spring, where a parade of decorated yachts sailed past onlookers at the clubhouse, combined with swimming events and an elaborate party. Entertainment included music, dancing, Vaudeville acts, and poetry reading. A tradition of regattas was established, with member’s boats competing against those from the other yacht clubs on the bay. Members also cruised their boats as a group for overnight stays to different parts of the bay each season.

What are the Cheapest Yacht Clubs?

The cheapest yacht clubs charge just under $1,000 per year for membership. While this does give you access to different types of experiences, you may be disappointed by the overall amenities.

Some yacht clubs are known for their extravagant country club styles that help you to embrace a particular lifestyle. They include Olympic-sized swimming pools, state-of-the-art tennis courts, and fine dining.

Everything has a beautiful waterfront view. It can feel like you are in the middle of an idyllic paradise without ever even having to leave the shore. If this is what you can gain from the most expensive yacht clubs, you should set your expectations much lower for the cheaper yacht clubs.

The cheaper yacht clubs lack the community aspect of these exclusive options. They feature dry slips and the occasional party, but not much more.

Some of them may have the feel of a county park with some picnic benches, outdoor grills, and a moderately sized swimming pool. Expect a much more casual atmosphere when you choose to go with a cheaper yacht club.

It is even possible that they are simply “paper yacht clubs” that do not even maintain a physical building of their own.

How Much Do the Most Expensive Yacht Clubs Cost to Join?

The most expensive yacht clubs can vary a great deal in price. Most of them will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per year. However, you can certainly find more exclusive clubs that will cost above and beyond this.

Keep in mind that these more expensive clubs generally are not open to the public. They are offered by invitation only and you must have a member sponsor you to be considered for entrance.

When you are paying for a more expensive yacht club, you should make sure that you are really going to get your money’s worth. These expensive clubs promote a certain type of elegant lifestyle.

Make sure that you are planning to take advantage of all the amenities available from one of these clubs before you sink too much money into the membership fees. The social aspect of these expensive yacht clubs is extremely important.

If you plan to simply rent a boat from time to time, you might be able to go with a cheaper yacht club.

What Is Generally Included in the Membership Fee for Yacht Clubs?

Have you been wondering why you should join a yacht club? Many potential members want to know what they can expect from their membership fees before they commit to a year-long contract. There are many advantages to signing up for a membership with a well-known yacht club.

Amenities and Activities

First and foremost, you get access to activities and cruises planned by board members. These might be various sailing activities, dinners, get-togethers, tennis matches, or other events that take up a lazy Sunday afternoon.

You also gain access to any amenities that surround the yacht club’s marina. For many programs, this means a fitness center, pool, and tennis courts. Several locations also offer fine dining, meeting rooms, and more.

It is like a private oasis where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the regular world. Time moves slowly when you’re enjoying the amenities here.

Many yacht clubs have programs that introduce children (and adults!) to sailing. Take classes to learn more about improving your technique, sailing safety, and other important aspects of life on the open water.

Access to the Fleet

The main reason why most people join yacht clubs is to be able to rent out boats instead of purchasing their own. Joining a yacht club may give you access to an entire fleet of yachts that can be reserved for a day or weeks at a time. Some yacht clubs allow you to rent boats for up to ten days at a time.

Others do not allow you to rent out ships. They are primarily geared toward individuals who already own a yacht or will own a yacht in the future. Make sure you know the difference in advance.

Are There any Additional Costs Besides the Membership Fees?

Unfortunately, the membership fees are not the only cost associated with joining a yacht club. Most of the clubs in the United States also have a one-time initial fee that tends to cost thousands of dollars. Many will range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the location and the exclusivity of the yacht club.

This one-time fee should be the only additional money you pay except for fuel. Most yacht clubs do not cover the cost of the fuel used in the ship during your rental if renting is an option. Be prepared for what this could cost you.

If you cause damage to the ship, you can also expect some out-of-pocket costs. Insurance should cover the damage, but you will likely be asked to cover the cost of the deductible.

Be sure to inquire about how much you may be on the hook for before you sign up for any particular yacht club. Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced sailors. Make sure that you can afford the mishap in advance.

Is a Yacht Club Membership Right for You?

Understanding what the real cost of a yacht club membership is can be the first step toward determining if this is right for you. Many people love the luxuries available through the more expensive yacht clubs, but they may not be able to afford it. Consider what is most important in a club to you before deciding to sign on the dotted line for an annual membership.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.
