The members and staff of Santa Margarita Yacht Club welcome you! Our yacht club is situated aboard Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base which makes for a unique environment and one-of-a-kind raft-up experience.
PRIOR TO ARRIVAL
- Contact the SMYC Port Captain at admin@santamargaritayachtclub.com to coordinate your request.
- Due to the marina’s location aboard Camp Pendleton and Department of Defense training and events, please submit your request a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the dates of your requested stay.
- Once your request is received, the SMYC Port Captain will provide the necessary paperwork required for marina/base access.
- The requesting yacht club member(s) must have current liability insurance on their sailboat(s) (no specified amount as long as you have coverage).
- Due to the nature of the marina being on a military installation and a limited number of guest slips, raft-ups are currently the only available option for visiting yacht clubs.
UPON ARRIVAL
- All visiting yachts should identify themselves by flying their yacht club burgee.
- Upon arrival to Del Mar Marina, promptly inform the SMYC Port Captain, Patrick Murty of your arrival.
- Our port captain will acquaint you with our marina and house rules, the club facilities, (restrooms, showers, laundry, etc.), and provide you with a key for access.
DOCK AND HOUSE RULES
- As long as you are a member in good standing from a reciprocal yacht club, you will receive the same number of complimentary nights with us that our members might enjoy at your club.
- Check-in time and departure times are flexible and can be coordinated with the port captain.
- Pets access must be pre-coordinated, must be leashed at all times, and are not permitted inside of the clubhouse (with the exception of service animals).
- There is absolutely no possession or use of legal medical or recreational drugs (i.e. Marijuana) due to this location being on a federal installation and falling under federal regulations and law.
- Guests staying at our docks are welcome to use the club’s restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities.

Please provide us with your valid yacht club membership card or with a letter of introduction on club letterhead so that we may confirm your club’s reciprocity agreement with us.
