Travis Marina hosts the Presidio Yacht Club , a community of international boating enthusiasts and servicemen. Although membership is open to the public, the Club retains its strong military heritage. Every second Saturday of the month is an all-volunteer work day at the club, followed by dinner. Active duty personnel enjoy discounted services, including free membership and preference for open berths.
WWII Marine Repair Shop
In order to maintain the boats that tended the underwater mines placed outside the Golden Gate during WWII, the army established a marine repair shop in the building that's now the Presidio Yacht Club. Boat repairs covered by the marine repair shop included repurposing boats, reconditioning engines, painting, scraping barnacles and straightening propeller shafts. The boats were hauled out for repair on the train tracks leading into the water.
