Sail-A-Dinghy-Day

On Sunday, April 6th, Shoreline Lake will hold a Sail-A-Dinghy-Day, as part of the 2025 rollout of the sailing season and the Sunday Sailing Racing program.

Taking place from 10am to 4pm, this event is hosted in conjunction with the Fremont Sailing Club (FSC) – one of the Bay Area’s foremost small-craft sailing clubs.

Visitors will get access to free skippered sailboat rides, helmed by Shoreline Lake’s experienced instructors.

On land, booths promoting the sailing programs (for kids, teens and adults), and a display of racing dinghies (such as RS Zests, ILCA/Lasers, BUGs, Catalina Capri 14.2s and others) will be available as well. And, Shoreline Lake sailing staff and FSC members will be on hand to provide additional information.

Designed to promote sailing as an accessible, fun and family-friendly sport, the event also showcases why Shoreline Lake makes an attractive sailing destination for experienced small boaters and those learning to sail.

If you need additional details, please check out the background information from last year's launch of this event.

Kayak Polo Cup of the West

Shoreline Lake is the site for the 4th Annual Kayak Polo Cup of the West ("COW") tournament, taking place on Saturday, April 12th, and Sunday, April 13th.

Watch a thrilling, fast-paced and internationally competitive sport described as a cross between water polo, basketball, and hockey. Three teams for each of the four divisions (A, B, Women & Youth) are expected to compete. The competition is currently scheduled to go from 9am-5pm (both days).

The heats are visible to spectators – who have a great view of the competition and action from anywhere along the shore, including the outdoor patio at Shoreline Lake's American Bistro.

The Bay Area Kayak Polo Club (organizing group) practices at Shoreline Lake, including their US National Team members. More details can be found via their tournament page.

Shoreline Lake Summer Sailstice Celebration

Starting at 10am, on Saturday, June 21st, Silicon Valley's destination for lake sailing takes part in Summer Sailstice – a global celebration of summer and sailing!

Along with other family-friendly activities, skippered sailboat rides will be available between 10am-2pm. (Please note that space is limited for the sailboat rides, which are 20-minutes each, and available on a first-come, first-served basis.)

Since sailing is such a fantastic activity (ask even our youngest campers...), these sailboat rides are a fun way for "newbies" to see just how approachable this sport can be, and Summer Sailstice makes a great community-based way to connect with fellow sailors around the world.

Additional details about our Sailstice celebration will continue to be added as the date approaches, so please check back.

A Shoreline Lake Advent Calendar

It's the countdown to Christmas! For a little something to while away the time, we've put together an interactive calendar that showcases some of the fun activities available at Shoreline Lake: And, by checking it out, you'll not only see the variety of great things to do during the Winter Holidays, but you may end up winning a prize...

Every day from December 1-24 a new "door" opens, and each is a chance at winning four different prizes – a $50 gift certificate towards Equipment Rentals, a Camp Shoreline Scholarship, a 1-hour Skippered Sailboat Ride, and a Beginner Wingboarding class. All you have to do is submit an entry. (Don't worry, any opened door in the calendar will stay open during the entire 24 days.)

Also, in case you're looking for a "different" kind of gift for the Holidays, gift cards for all Boathouse activities are also available. Enjoy!

Shoreline Lake Holiday Gift Cards

Need a different kind of Holiday gifting option? Purchasing a Shoreline Lake gift card can cover a variety of outdoor activities (adult/teen watersports classes, kids' programs, and other Boathouse activities, including equipment rentals).

They can be purchased online, or on-site at the Boathouse main office (and mailed to the recipient if you prefer). In addition, you can either choose the amount, or take advantage of the option to purchase gift cards with specially designated Holiday promo values, through January 15, 2025 (just choose a value below, and then plug in the associated code during checkout):

• $45 for $60 value – code: GC45FOR60
• $90 for $120 value – code: GC90FOR120
• $225 for $300 value – code: GC225FOR300
• $375 for $500 value – code: GC375FOR500

Chances are these cards can also allay the pressure that comes with giving the right gift and, perhaps, help give a bit of motivation for a New Year's resolution.

And, of course, if you're not sure what might work, we'll be happy to put something together for you, or leave it "open to the recipient's interpretation." Just let us know if you need more info (boathouse@shorelinelake.com and 650-965-7474).
