The Los Angeles Fire Department said the fire was first reported around 11.30pm Monday at the Yacht Club on Admiralty Way.

When crews arrived at the scene, thick smoke and flames engulfed the two-story building that was founded in 1922 and built in 1967. 

'My dad built this place in the early 60s and it has been our home for many years...such a tragedy to see it burn down,' Steve Hathaway, the former owner of  California Yacht Club, told CBS Los Angeles.

The blaze was extinguished just before 1.30am Tuesday, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

The two male firefighters who were hurt suffered mild injuries while they battled the flames. They were taken to a local hospital, Los Angeles County Fire Department PIO Fred Fielding said. No other injuries were reported.

Pictures revealed the now charred perimeter of the clubhouse, which according to the California Yacht Club, was where the fire damaged. 

The many boats surrounding the club were intact, and the roof of the clubhouse also appeared to be untouched by the flames.

The famed club has been known to frequently host national and international regattas- water races like rowing and sailing. 

It relocated to Marina del Rey after it was founded near San Pedro in Wilmington Harbor in 1922. 

The coastal community, located four miles north of Los Angeles, is made of 807 acres, 'of which half is underwater,' according to  the Marina Del Rey Tourism Board .

Marina del Rey translates to 'Harbor of the King' in Spanish and is popularly visited by sail boats, powerboats, along with rented and owned charters. 

Fishers also come to the water in hopes of catching yellowfin tune, perch, barracuda, rockfish, cod, mackerel and sea bass.   

'Thank you to all of the first responders and our thoughts are with the two firefighters injured. Our community is strong and we will work together on what’s next,' the California Yacht Club said in an Instagram post.

Subscriber only, crime and public safety | 2 firefighters injured while battling blaze at historic yacht club in marina del rey.

del rey yacht club stabbing

Two Los Angeles County firefighters suffered minor injuries while battling a blaze at the historic California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey Monday night, Dec. 11, authorities said.

Firefighters were called to the 4400 block of Admiralty Way about 11:30 p.m. and found a two-story commercial building on fire, department spokesman Geovanni Sanchez said.

Approximately 55 to 60 firefighters attacked the blaze from outside, Sanchez said. The two firefighters who were injured were taken to a hospital. Their injuries were not specified.

The blaze was extinguished just before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sanchez said, but the cause, origin and an estimated cost of damages was not yet known.

Video from RMG News, a freelance service that contracts with the Southern California News Group, showed firefighters spraying the building from outside, with fire burning in the second story of the structure. Outdoor tables and chairs were also seen burned.

Firefighters could also be seen spraying water from a department boat in the harbor.

Steve Hathaway, California Yacht Club president, told the outlet he had no idea how the fire started, but went to the club after a member called.

“My dad built this place in the early 60s and it’s just been our home,” Hathaway said. “It’s been an incredible club for our members and our family and this is just such a tragedy to see this club burn like this.”

The loss is a deeply personal one for many.

“I was married there and spent 52 years of my life there,” said boat broker Steve Curran of Los Angeles.

The yacht club is top-ranked as a platinum club, the only one south of Santa Barbara, he said

The club, which started in Wilmington in 1922, was taken over by the U.S. Coast Guard in World War II and reconfigured as a Marina Del Rey landmark when that area was developed in 1962.

For anyone growing up in boating, said Curran, the club is a landmark, offering an array of social and athletic activities.

Curran, whose boat business is headquartered in Marina del Rey but also serves Long Beach, said he believes the club will persevere.

“We’ll find a way,” he said. “It’s just too important to many of us.”

A wonderful club, particularly for older people, in so many ways. Assistant manager Archie, servers including but not limited to Allen, Kyle and Danny, accountant Jerilynn are all wonderful. Why not 5-star? The MANAGER can be brutally insensitive and money-mongering...in the face of a loved one's death, or other trauma, entirely inflexible (regarding any temporary payment adjustment) and emotionally tone deaf. Enjoy. But beware this management style. I don't know how or why they keep her. I guess she brings in money.

Photo of John G.

I love my club, the other reviews are correct in that our staff is amazing and accommodating. You always feel the special treatment of a private club vs. a public restaurant/bar. They rarely can't accommodate a special request and do it with a smile. From Max, Lisa and Archie at the front to Kyle, Allen, Danny, Javier and Al taking care of your food and drink needs it never disappoints. Most Fridays I find myself wanting to test Allen's Tiki drink of the week and recently fell in love with the Japanese slipper (delicious refreshing Midori drink . Love the new dinning room menu and it's true we have the best fillet of Sole I have had. Activities for all kinds, movie nights, game nights, dancing with live bands, family cruises, races and dock parties. Do your self a favor and come and enjoy DRYC.

Incredible food and service! Javier is so welcoming and helpful. I'm too young for alcohol but I heard Alan makes the best Mai Tais ever! I would recommend the filet of sole. The server hailey is very sweet as well and I was so grateful to have her take my order. Join the yacht club! Such a good decision, this is the one.

Wonderful Sunday Buffet!! Lots of choices ! Very clean ! Great taste! Great Service !!! Valet parking if you want!

Been a happy member since 1995. Best Club around bar none. Clubhouse, docks and grounds provide a wonderful space and the friendly members complete the DRYC experience. No boat? No problem! Come for a visit and check it out.

I joined Del Rey Yacht Club over 20 years ago and it was the best decision I could have made. Now I am retired and get to enjoy the Club even more. I keep my boat at its wonderful docks in the Marina and also get to enjoy the Catalina Harbor facility at Catalina Island. You could not ask for more.

Great private yacht club with amenities such as pool, bar, restaurant, etc. that outshines all its competitions in Marina Del Rey.

Del Rey Yacht Club is the premier yacht club in Marina del Rey. The club is steep in tradition, with many 2nd and 3rd generation members making Del Rey Yacht Club the focal point of their family's activities. There is something for everyone, from sailing to angling to the various social events. The calendar is constantly providing new and exciting things to do. Del Rey Yacht Club has a great dining room and vibrant bar with delicious food and drink to tempt everyone. The club's clubhouse facility is second to none. The club has a large parking lot complete with boat hoist to make launching small craft easy. The club's facility on Catalina Island makes the several cruises there great fun. I've enjoyed Del Rey Yacht Club for many years. I'm sure you would enjoy it as well!

We enjoy the bar and casual food scene here. The club has a great view of the marina and many beautiful boats. Danny is the best. Alan and Al are wonderful too.

Danny, Al, and Allen are some of the best people I have ever met. We've been members here for years and we come here now in large part just to catch up with them. They greet us with a smile and a generous pour. In this big city it's really nice to have a place where everybody knows your name. Highly recommend membership here, and even more highly recommend that you come by when Danny is working the bar!

This is a great yacht club with so much great history to it. Wonderful views and facilities. Very friendly members who treat one another like family. Also, very friendly and knowledgeable bar tenders. Not just the Marina del Rey facility is wonderful, but there is also another great facility in Cat Harbor, Catalina Island. Great place to enjoy a very relaxing cruise!
