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.

A beautiful site for great food, great comradery and a one of a kind experience. I went 2 days straight on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Great taco Tuesday and the best grilled pork chop I've ever eaten. I apologize for taking so long to write a review.

This is a really wonderful place to have lunch! Beautiful view of the water and boats from every angle and had a lunch buffet with friends. The sandwiches were made to order as you'd like. Fresh fruit and cookies and the service was exceptional!

The best in town , Great service excellent, Environment, food, pretty tasty, the View Excellent.

Always have a great time whenever me, my sister and my dad come down to the club, food never disappoints, the staff love us, they call my sister pumpkin and always happy to see each other so overall just a great place

I have been coming to the Long Beach Yacht Club for the last 8 years for corporate meetings a handful of times a year. Initially, I came as a participant and eventually started planning our quarterly meetings! The staff is beyond helpful and makes the process smooth and simple! Our events always go off without a hitch thanks to the staff's attention to detail and attentiveness! The food options are great and the facility is clean! Our team loves having our meetings in the upstairs meeting room which has all glass panels so they can enjoy the boats and Pacific Ocean view! Thanks LBYC for the continued support and great service!!

We are back in our old stomping ground for a wedding and seeing Long Beach as a tourist is a weird experience after living here for 18 years. My sister is a member of the Yacht Club and we have been here for several occasion. This weekend the reason was to celebrate our daughters birthday and escape the cold of Minnesota. The Club has an extensive clubhouse, locker rooms, decent food if you dine in and a pool, pool deck and complete sailing program. We have mostly experienced the meals and pool and it is a great place to catch some sun and water while watching the boats sail by in the harbor. It's hard to have a bad day if there is sun out it is gorgeous and boats some of Long Beaches beautiful waterfront views. Memberships are available but pricey and I believe they run a discount for junior professionals as there is a significant senior population at the club.

On a quiet day the pool is glorious

The food is great and the staff is so friendly ! Love this place! So nice and peaceful

The price of their dishes is descend, Food is good. Location is excellent. It's located in Redondo Beach harbor. We were having our early dinner by the balcony of the restaurant. Watching sail boats coming in and the sky turning orange color. It was very relaxing.

Awesome food, and crazy nice staff!! The place even has an all year round holiday feel to it with one of the chefs in the kitchen looking like Santa Claus!!

Visiting the YC as a reciprocal from another YC, I was truly impressed with the focus on service provided by all of the staff members we interacted with. I also really respect that from the sounds of it that the YC did right by their staff during the COVID closures. Well done!
