Rowing and paddling on San Francisco Bay is an immensely rewarding activity. The Dolphin Club has a fleet of more than 40 boats available to its members…. including traditional wooden boats, lightweight rowing shells, kayaks and stand-up paddle-boards. Dolphin boaters include former Olympians, former collegiate rowers, and many who first pulled an oar after joining our club
There are 15 wooden rowing boats in our fleet, some of which are over 100 years old. Once certified, members may take these boats out on the bay on their own schedule and within the limits of our safety rules. Nearby destinations include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island. and the San Francisco city shoreline. More »
