West Coast

Long Beach Yacht Club is located on a promontory at the east end of Naples Island in Long Beach, California.

Committees organize and manage a full schedule of yachting, educational, social and public-outreach programs, and the Club is recognized throughout the worldwide yachting community for its hospitality.

LBYC youth programs are strong and widely popular, focused primarily on swimming, sailing, surfing and — most importantly — fun. 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 Long Beach Yacht Club Sailing Foundation makes its fleet of eleven identical Catalina-37s available for regattas, for education and training, and for public outreach to members of the community who have few opportunities to be on the water, much less to experience sailing on these high-performance racing sailboats.

The Club is an integral part of the greater Long Beach community as well as the international yachting community.
