Berkeley Marine Center

Berkeley Marine Center Welcome to our family-run boat yard! Berkeley Marine is the center of custom yacht construction in the San Francisco Bay Area.
(251)

We're here to serve you, with capabilities from the smallest repair to building custom racing yachts, such as the Antrim Class 40, California Condor. Racing yachts built at the yard are generating considerable buzz for their advanced designs, and for contributing to the rebirth of a local industry. The facility's dedicated, experienced design and construction team is the key to its success. Constr

uction is led by long-time boat builder Cree Partridge, whose former company P-Squared Yachts, built dozens of high-performance racing yachts in Southern California throughout the 1980's. Naval architect Jim Antrim, a familiar name in performance sailing circles, leads the design process. His innovative designs include everything from the Ultimate 24, Sportboat Magazine's 2003 Boat of the Year, to a series of custom yachts, including an Open 50 built for the Vendee Globe and Around Alone races. Also key to the team is John Palmer, who provides computer cut components of the moulds used in the construction process. The team also features outstanding talent in the latest composite construction techniques, in rigging, and in marine electronics. Besides sharing an appreciation for excellence, all members are dedicated to their craft in custom yacht construction.

A few weeks ago, the Berkeley Yacht Club brought 2 groups of kids over to come see the inner workings of a boatyard firsthand, and of course, Cree had to take some time off and give them the grand tour. Everyone was also able to see Chris Bertish & listen to his story about the Transact 2026 Expedition, and why sometimes the bravest choice is knowing when to quit. Thank you Chris and BYC!

Earlier this month BMC attended the California Hydrogen Summit. It was a massive packed event, all with their own ideas for making a hydrogen based future possible. It was exiting to see so many people dedicated to creating a more sustainable future, and we are exited to work with everyone towards that shared goal. We are also working with Focal Technologies to create hydrogen using nothing but sunlight and water to create hydrogen, without the use of energy intensive electrolysis. And hopefully, within the next few months we can help setup one of their systems here at BMC, to take the yard off grid and get more real-world testing data for further development. Its going to be a very interesting few months.

Recently, one of our long time customers, Keith & Hal came in for a new bottom coat, and some other detailing work. Last year they had their Wyliecat 30 electrified with an E-propulsion Outboard. They say it has made motor sailing and docking much easier and less stressful, and couldn't be happier with the system. We love seeing it still in use and going strong over a year after its install. Thanks for stopping by again Keith & Hal!
