Regatta Sponsors
The Master Mariners Regatta has always depended on the generous support of Bay Area maritime businesses, yacht clubs, and organizations. Sponsors receive a custom house flag flown from their sponsored yacht throughout the regatta weekend — a colorful and highly visible tradition on the Bay.
Sponsor Flags
Sponsor flags are a key part of the regatta's maritime tradition. Each sponsor is guided to create a custom house flag in their colors and design, which flies from their sponsored vessel throughout the weekend. Flags are typically 36"×60" nylon, custom-made. Setup cost runs approximately $50 per design; a 36"×60" flag approximately $80–85 plus setup.
Historical Sponsors (2003)
The Sponsors Luncheon was traditionally held the Friday before the regatta at the St. Francis Yacht Club.
