Founded in 1922, the California Yacht Club has an impressive history of being among the premier yachting facilities in the world. CYC was honored as a “Platinum Club of America” for 2016-2022, an award given by the club industry to the top yacht clubs in the nation. California Yacht Club has also been voted "Best Yacht Club" by the Argonaut Newspaper for the last five years.  

Club Activities

Whether your interests are sailboat racing, power boating, cruising to our outpost on Catalina Island or other points, rowing, paddle tennis, pickleball. relaxing by the pool (heated year-round), or a comprehensive youth sailing program, CYC provides the perfect venue! We have over 100 activity groups here at the club and while many of them center around the water, others are non-water related activities as well. We have many active members in our Family Activities Group, Sportsman Club, Scuba Club, Young Professionals Club, Pickleball, and Book Club to name a few. There’s something here for the whole family!

Wine Events, Chef's Nights, Mixology Events, and the Club’s many signature events throughout the year bring our members together in a convivial atmosphere which enhances existing friendships and brings new friends together. The Club also leads the way in advancing race management, boating safety, navigation and racing tactics through educational seminars, community forums and clinics. You don't need to own a boat to join CYC and the Club owns four Martin 242s that you're able to use through out newly established Keelboat Program.  It's the best of both worlds because you can go out sailing without having to worry about any slip or maintenance fees.  If you don't know how to sail already then we'll teach out through our Adult Learn to Sail program!

Our Speaker Series presents well-known nautical figures who attract local and regional audiences. Additionally, our Junior Maritime Center is an excellent venue for classroom education and instruction for young sailors and rowers. Our Amateur Radio Group provides worldwide ham radio communications, training and mentoring, and maintains regional emergency/disaster communications readiness as an important public service.

Club Reciprocity

CYC has an impressive reciprocal list of over 1,000 international yacht clubs as well as yacht clubs in the United States.

About Our Members
