The island of Alameda is a recreational
boating headquarters for the Bay Area. The protected waters
between Alameda and Oakland (often referred to simply as "the
Estuary," but technically known as the Oakland Inner Harbor) are
bordered by the popular Jack London Square, numerous marinas,
boatyards, and marine related businesses.
Our J World in Alameda opened in 2002,
and as our first base on San Francisco Bay, it was carefully
selected for the wide range of sailing conditions which are easily
accessible. The calm inner harbor opens up on the South Bay of
San Francisco. This region typically sees 12-14 knots with
small chop. The wide-open waters provide a perfect venue for
most of our sailing programs, and the scenic San Francisco city
front provide a fabulous backdrop.
For introductory level sailors who have
raised their ability levels, or for advanced sailors, the Central
Basin is a short sail away. This portion of the Bay is world
renowned for the consistent summer breezes which can build to
blustery conditions in the afternoons.
J World offers all if its courses from
the Alameda base, as well as corporate sailing events and skippered
and bareboat charters. Alameda is also the corporate and
administrative headquarters for J World West.
