Founded in 1901, Los Angeles Yacht Club connects individuals and families to generations of yachting history.  Our Leadership Team observes traditional naval terminology and customs, standard among world-class yacht clubs.  The Commodore, elected by Club Members, is the CEO of the corporation and presides over the similarly elected Board of Directors.  The other Flag Officers: Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore, and Fleet Captain typically serve one-year terms in their respective rank and assist Senior Officers as they move up in responsibility and provide leadership for specific Club Committees.

Los Angeles Yacht Club has a mainland facility in picturesque San Pedro, CA, and an outstation with sail and powerboat moorings 20 miles offshore at Howland’s Landing on historic Catalina Island.  Our water-side San Pedro clubhouse features meeting and dining facilities and a full bar.  Club Manager Paul Diaz is available to assist you with administrative and membership questions and Kaelyn Ibold, our Director of Sailing Programs, can offer Certified sailing instruction.
