We are known for our signature sailing regatta - Congressional Cup - yet we were founded in order to host a powerboat race.

The repeated use of a red star in our burgee is a wink to LBYC member Eddie Fink, who won the Star Class World title in 1932.

Star Boats were an Olympic class sailboat, and the win was key to Long Beach's fleet to be sponsors in the 1932 elimination rounds for the Olympics. (Gilbert Gray of New Orleans ended up representing Long Beach).

The palm trees in the club's parking lot were all planted over one weekend by LBYC volunteers. The trees arrived from a farm in Palm Springs in two pickup trucks, and individual members sponsored the tree purchase - $25 apiece!

The lava rocks in the general manager’s office, the library, and the exterior round-about all came over on one vessel for the club's tiki architecture.

The LBYC pool is 25 yards and heated year-round.

Our race committee boat is named after our first commodore: Loynes.

The clubhouse was designed by Montierth and Stickland - well known mid century modern trailblazers. The building blends South Sea Island treatments with contemporary design glass walls.

Montierth and Stickland also designed the marine bazaar and the marina restrooms.

Our first clubhouse was donated to the Sea Scouts - a long-term relationship between the Scouts and the club that has continued.

Located on a promontory at the east end of Naples Island on Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, California, Long Beach Yacht Club is recognized throughout the worldwide yachting community for its hospitality, and is home to the Congressional Cup match racing competition. Featuring a very strong youth program, parents and club staff ensure there is a healthy mix of education, training and social activities. Sailing programs have access to boats ranging from eight-foot Sabots to Catalina-37 match race boats.

“The mission of the Long Beach Yacht Club is to promote all aspects of yachting in the spirit of good sportsmanship and camaraderie. Our founding membership in the National Sailing Hall of Fame helps satisfies our mission by preserving the rich history of American Sailing. This is an auspicious time to commit our support as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of our signature event, Congressional Cup, the grandfather of club match racing.  Our Club was founded in 1929 and we are very proud of our 85 years of notable contributions to the rich sport of sailing.”

David Stotler, Commodore

HISTORY OF THE LONG BEACH YACHT CLUB by Club Historians  Carlton  B. “Bud”  Scott and Jo Murray

The Long Beach Yacht Club, now internationally known for the Congressional Cup sailboat regatta, began in 1929 for the purposes of planning a powerboat race between Long Beach and San Francisco.

The proposed race would be run during the San Francisco Motor Boat Show to provide advertising for the show and Northern California boating industries. The Associated Boating Industries of Northern California wrote Daniel M. Callis, Sr., a Long Beach architect active in boating and local yacht clubs requesting a Long Beach area club act as the Southern California host of the race. His drive to pursue this opportunity led to the formation of Long Beach Yacht Club.  His early vision of passionate club members leading yachting contests has continued throughout the club’s history.

The First Race

The concept of the race was to use a handicapping system, going from Long Beach to an overnight stay in Santa Barbara, then to another overnight stay in Monterey, and finishing in San Francisco for a total distance of 460 miles — the longest powerboat race in the world. The winner would receive a trophy donated by Sir Thomas Lipton then-valued at $1,000.

Callis agreed to be general chairman of the executive committee and promoter of the race. Committee work would be handled by the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles, Monterey Chamber of Commerce, Santa Barbara Yacht Club and Associated Boating Industries of Northern California.

Callis initially offered the sponsorship of the race to the California Yacht Club; however, CYC declined on the basis that it would not have complete jurisdiction over the race. Callis then met with Charles Camp and Norman Able (all three would become commodores of LBYC), and a decision was made to run the race under the auspices of a “Long Beach Yacht Club,” which reportedly might have existed at some prior time but no longer did so.

Despite problems with finding enough entries, the first race was run in April 1929 by a Long Beach Yacht Club, the burgee (flag) for which was made by the wife of prominent Long Beach attorney Jonah Jones, Jr. and flown in the race. The winner was Arthur Macrate (LBYC commodore in 1931) in his Zoa III.

This first race was viewed as a great success, future races were anticipated and it seemed that it might be time to form a real Long Beach Yacht Club.

A Real Long Beach Yacht Club

Callis, Macrate, Camp, Able and others met at St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco to see if there was support for the concept of a real Long Beach Yacht Club. There was, and a subsequent meeting was called by Jonah Jones, Jr. on September 6, 1929 to present the concept to a group of Long Beach businessmen interested in yachting. They agreed to form a real Long Beach Yacht Club.

Widely acclaimed speedboat racer Richard Loynes was elected commodore, and on October 7, 1929 Jonah Jones, Jr. filed the Articles of Incorporation. Charter memberships were extended to 100 individuals. Despite collapse of the stock market, the new and real LBYC soon had 100 members paying dues of $5 per year; $2.50 for kids.

The Club Starts Rapid Growth

Less than a week after filing the Articles of Incorporation, the new LBYC began by organizing a speedboat race between Long Beach and Avalon for October 11-12, 1929. Boats were to be 16 to 30 feet in length with inboard engines (some expected to be 500 hp). Officials were from LBYC and the Catalina Island Yacht Club, and this race also began a long and close relationship between the two clubs, including overlapping memberships and flag officers.

By February 1930, only four months after incorporation, membership had increased to approximately 150, and arrangements for meeting space had been secured at the Pacific Coast Club. Planning was underway for the second Long Beach to San Francisco powerboat race, and “plans were being formulated for the finest yachting harbor on the Pacific Coast at Long Beach.”

On April 24, 1930, the “Second Annual All-California Power Cruiser Race to San Francisco” started off Belmont Pier, with 10 of the 21 entries flying the LBYC burgee. Not surprisingly, given the time of year, the boats encountered heavy weather and considerable damage was done to boats and participants.

Arthur Macrate (then vice commodore) did well in that second race in the vessel Hermana, but interest in future long-distance powerboat races started to be diluted as other races and events were organized.

Looking for a Marina and Clubhouse

The installation of D. M. Callis as commodore was held at the Pacific Coast Club with 125 in attendance. Special guests included the commodores of Catalina Island Yacht Club, California Yacht Club and Los Angeles Yacht Club. An important agenda item at the installation was a discussion on developing a yacht harbor in Long Beach followed by the construction of a clubhouse.

There was definite need for a yacht harbor. Forty yachts were reported temporarily moored in the outer harbor of Long Beach in “exceedingly unfavorable locations, generally where water is dirty and frequently covered with oil.”

Using the Pacific Coast Club as its headquarters, discussions began with the City of Long Beach and County of Los Angeles regarding development in Alamitos Bay and plans were formulated to “begin construction of a clubhouse as soon as a definite location for a yacht harbor has been determined by the city.” Key individuals in this effort included: Jonah Jones, Jr.; Frank Garbutt of the California Yacht Club, Pacific Coast Club and Los Angeles Athletic Club; Arthur Macrate; George L. Craig; Norman Able; Charles Camp; Sam Selover; and D. M. Callis.

Despite the influence of this group, the cities of Long Beach and Seal Beach agreed in 1931 to build a bridge over the mouth of the San Gabriel River linking Seal Beach with Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach (which at that time ran down the Alamitos peninsula). This bridge, which would prevent access to all but small craft having less than 14 feet overhead clearance curtailed serious development of Alamitos Bay as an important yacht harbor for the next two decades.

The First Clubhouse

The formal approval of plans for the first LBYC clubhouse on June 30, 1936 reportedly started a flurry of fundraising and “sweat equity” on the part of members. By opening day of the regatta season, May 8, 1937, the facilities apparently were fully paid for.

The clubhouse was located west of downtown Long Beach a 2,000-foot “stroll to paradise” out a boardwalk from the shore (under what is now the Port of Long Beach). There were moorings, a Star Boat dock adjacent to the clubhouse and an anchorage area. There was no boardwalk beyond the clubhouse, but access to the L-shaped end of the moorage was accessible by walking over the rocks to the other side. There are unconfirmed but apparently valid reports that young ladies from the neighborhood enjoyed walking out beyond the clubhouse and skinny dipping inside the L-shaped end of the secluded anchorage.

After years of having to moor boats up and down the coast, or in less-than-favorable locations in Long Beach’s inner and outer harbors, members were understandably delighted with their new facilities. The clubhouse was described as having “a snug club-room, a snugger galley” and two heads.

The War Years Were Approaching

Despite some records stating LBYC either sold or donated its first clubhouse to the Sea Scouts in 1939, newspaper articles indicate that the facility was still in the hands of the club during much of 1940 and perhaps even part of 1941. Opening day 1940 reportedly was celebrated at the clubhouse, but by November 1941, the facility was in the hands of the Sea Scouts.

LBYC was once again a “paper club” with no clubhouse, but the yachting and social activities continued for a while despite the growing influence of world events.

World War II would change the lives of many club members, and markedly affect boating for several years. It would also mark the real beginning of Alamitos Bay as a marina and, ultimately, home for the club’s second clubhouse.

Alamitos Bay and the Second Clubhouse

Beginning as early as the 1920s, individuals who subsequently became prominent members of LBYC were instrumental in the development of Alamitos Bay and the marina. The second, and current, clubhouse simply could not be sited and constructed until the bay was protected from disastrous floods and the marina constructed.

After major efforts by members, an initial lease for the clubhouse site was obtained in March 1959. The lease was expanded in January 1960 to include the clubhouse building as well as the access to Basin 4 slips adjacent to the clubhouse. In September 1969 the lease was extended to 2020.

Groundbreaking for the current clubhouse on Appian Way was held on June 1, 1960, and dedication ceremonies were December 16, 1960. The club was now positioned to expand rapidly and gain the recognition and stature it now enjoys within the worldwide yachting community.

Long Beach Yacht Club Today

LBYC membership stands at 1,000 regular members. It thrives on the constant activities provided for the members that include racing, yachting, fishing, diving, swimming, social programs and youth activities.

The club is actively engaged in community outreach programs using the same Catalina 37s used in Congressional Cup.   Activities include: the Marcedes Lewis Regatta with six Boys and Girls Club teams participating this year. Jordan High Schools students sailed in The Panthers at Sea program and another group of Boys and Girls Club kids raced in the Wet Wednesday races. The Patriot Regatta, our premier community event, also attracted a record participation level with five  branches of the armed forces racing; Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy teams aggressively competed against each other.  New this year in May, the club has planned a Heroes regatta with teams from our local Police and Fire Departments competing.

Of all the activities available to members, the youth programming is perhaps the most popular. Sailing and swimming lessons for little ones, swim team meets and regattas for competitive children all provide solid learning and teambuilding experiences in the aquatic environment.

As LBYC moves forward, current and future leaders will balance tradition and value with change to meet the needs of its members. In addition to the 50th anniversary of Congressional Cup, this year LBYC celebrate its 85th anniversary and is positioning itself for continued success.

This place is awesome. Seems like your on vacation. Staff is top notch!would highly recommend joining this club

My folks were members of the Long Beach Yacht Club for about 41 years! Besides all the other activities and festivities the club had to offer, they always enjoyed Wet Wednesdays. WW always ran from May to Sept.. This was a summer time, fun family affair. We have so many great memories!! The LBYC was always open to the PUBLIC at that time, too! You could eat in the dining room or hamburgers downstairs on the patio and watch the different class sailboats come into the finish line. Well, to my great disappointment, the LBYC is no longer open to the public on Wet Wed.! That's where the term "SNOTTY-YACHTIES" comes to play. The LBYC was run by old school people back in the day. I've seen it change over the years and sad to say I felt this coming. I suppose for that period of time the PUBLICS money is not good enough for them. (Snobs) They told us it was never really open to the public on Wet Wednesday......REALLY? For over 54 years, it was never really open to the PUBLIC??? Other yacht clubs have open house regatta days. LBYC has turned into SNOBS and will be sorry for all the lost revenue from THE PUBLIC!! I guess this is just another end to an era in Long Beach!!

The table side warm spinach salad is amazing! The service was good and view is not bad either.

Went here for a retirement party. It seemed to be very functional for event hosting. The food was good. The Skipper's Room had an attached private patio overlooking the water with a portable bar and food buffet set up.

My cousin is a member of this club and she's been wanting to take me here for a while. I didn't have a problem finding since my friends that have their Saturday morning runs use the adjacent parking lot to meet. I love the location of the this club because it feels secluded. This was my first time to the club and I was running a bit late and the ladies downstairs were really sweet and walked me to meet the rest of the family. Extra points for physically walking me to the table. BRUNCH/LOUNGE We came here for brunch and you have a choice to order off the menu that included some breakfast, salads and sandwiches. Or, you can go the omelet bar and the other people had oatmeal and fruit from the brunch buffet/bar. I ordered off the regular menu. I was craving shrimp cocktail that day and it wasn't on the menu, but my cousin said just ask because they will usually accommodate if they can. I got my shrimp cocktail. Then, for my main course I had poached eggs, with sauteed spinach/mushrooms. I would have ordered a salad if they had more salad options. I'm not a fan of chopped or Cesar salads. Now, if you are asking about the food as a whole? Yes, they could step in up a bit in the menu option department, but I got my shrimp cocktail, so I'm happy. After brunch we headed over to the lounge where they had a nice and warm fire going. We had some drinks and laughed some more. The bartender was great and attentive. SERVICE The service here is great. I loved the quaint and cozy feeling of this club. Although, people would probably scrutinize every single thing. I was just happy that I was the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. ATMOSPHERE I really like the vibe of this place. It really has a cozy and casual feel, but you also have the exclusivity of a club. I loved that the decor was classic with nautical touches, but in a modern way. It was kept up well. The dining room had an open and airy feeling as it should being on the water. Lounge was great with the fire going and chairs were comfortable. A must if you are going to sit a while to have drinks.

My Best Friend had her wedding at the Long Beach Yacht Club and it was beautiful! The planning process was very simple and the location was very flexible with the wedding party and requests for the Big Day! The day of the wedding, the staff was very helpful with setting up all tables/chairs/linens and the food service was great! The drawback of this location (for a wedding) was the boats in the water during the ceremony. The boats (and people on the boats) were very loud and we also had a children's swimming lesson just around the corner. The Yacht Club bar remained open to the members during the wedding reception, however, this was no concern and everyone was very friendly. The location was beautiful and if you know a member, I recommend considering this location for a wedding!

Excellent brunch and lunch. Relaxing atmosphere with an outstanding view. We love te pool.

I find it hard to believe anyone would give the LBYC anything higher than two stars here. The ambiance is nice. It is a very pretty place, with a kind of old school feel. The bar area is cool with all the burgees from other yacht clubs around the world hanging from the ceiling. There is a great view from the dining room and the deck that looks out over the water and the pool is cool. The club recently went through some renovations in the kitchen and the bathrooms / locker rooms that are a very nice addition. The staff are friendly and attentive. BUT... the food is HORRIBLE. I have eaten here on numerous occasions and have always regretted it. I can't figure it out, because in the club newsletter, they constantly praise the executive chef for his ability, but the food still stinks. The menu is a mix-mash of Holiday Inn banquet favorites and everything tastes like it was warmed to order. I have repeatedly brought this to the attention of the management of the club, but it seems like as long as you keep paying the monthly minimum, they are not interested. I give the place two stars only for the ambiance and staff. But as for the food and the rest of the experience, you would do yourself a favor by going elsewhere to eat. Every time I am there, I find myself staring at the McKenna's across the water, wishing I was there instead. Do yourself a favor and keep driving and head there instead. There is no monthly minimum or stodgy old yacht club people to contend with and the food is always worth the trip. Just goes to show you that even though you spend a million dollars on a nice kitchen, it doesn't matter if you cook horrible food. Keep driving... this place is not worth it.

I am a member, but the dinning room staff is the worst when compared to non-union restaurant staff. My family will not eat in the dinning room anymore and feel we get better service in the bar/lounge. The union mentality needs to go. For the amount this club charges to be a member, along with the food and beverage minumum of $160 per quarter, something has got to give. Several friends have committed that they will not entertain clients in the dinning room, but prefer the lounge. Food still takes forever no mater where you seat, even after a major kitchen remodel to improve efficiency. Union workers need to go. Final straw, they are increasing monthy dues to pay for hourly union workers health insurance, which is full coverage for their entire family's at no cost. I pay close to $600 a month for full coverage and work for a fortune 500 company,
