THE WATER IS

Whether you are looking for an active on-the-water lifestyle the whole family can enjoy, are a competitive sailor, a recreational boater, or simply looking for a welcoming community that also happens to enjoy spectacular waterfront views...you’ve found it at Long Beach Yacht Club.

LBYC was formed to promote yachting and competitive sportsmanship on a world-class level – and for nearly 100 years our reputation has matched our mission. Sailing members take part year-round in regattas, invitationals, championships, trips and other events, and of course, access to our fleet of Catalina 37 One-Design racing yachts.  Don’t know how to sail? That’s okay, we offer learn-to-sail programs on our fleet of Soling sailboats that are also available for member use.

We take an all-inclusive and laid-back approach to what it means to be a yacht club, featuring a range of power and recreational boating programs, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, fishing trips and travel...nearly any and every recreational activity you can enjoy on, in and around the water.

Our heated pool is a relaxed and relaxing Naples Island gathering spot for those who love to be in the water...as well as close to the water. From lap swimming to soaking up the sun, recreational activities to group lessons and more, this is an active family-friendly amenity that can be enjoyed year-round. We offer members and guests light dining menus, and locker rooms that feature showers and saunas.

Our clubhouse on Alamitos Bay is a casually refined destination that features some of the best views in Long Beach...and Southern California. Led by chefs with decades of experience, LBYC features a variety of menus — and a variety of venues, including our 225-foot private dock. In fact, every table is guaranteed to offer a spectacular visual presentation matched only by our culinary, cocktail and wine selections. From casual family meals to more formal dinners and breathtaking sunset celebrations, this is a private gathering spot that also feels remarkably like a home, away from home.

We regard the younger set as an important part of our Club as well, with both sailing and non-sailing programs for children from ages 4 to 17 years old. LBYC’s well-regarded Junior programs offer world-class sailing lessons, safety instruction and competitions in Sabots, CFJs and Lasers, and a range of fun year-round programs and summer camps led by experienced instructors and coaches.

LBYC is a lively, fun and inviting gathering place, defined by people who will always offer a warm smile, friendly conversation...and an invitation to the next adventure. 

As an equity club, members are owners here, with a say in every decision about our operations and plans for the future. Club reciprocity also means our membership community extends to yacht clubs from just down the coast to around the world, fostering connections and friendships that extend across the years and across the oceans.

our mission

• Alamitos Bay Marina

By Drew | Alamitos Bay Marina

• You are here:

The Alamitos Bay Marina was the first Long Beach marina. It was opened in the 1950s in east Long Beach, and has close to 2000 slips, making it the largest of the three city owned marinas in Long Beach. It is so big, in fact, that there is a smaller, privately owned marina (Crissman’s Marina) inside of it! It is also the home to a fuel dock, shipyard, several yacht clubs, and a Sunday farmer’s market.

The Alamitos Bay Marina is the oldest and largest marina in Long Beach. The marina office, located at 205 Marina Dr., serves as the main office for all three city owned marinas, and is where you can find both the marina manager’s office and the headquarters for the Long Beach Police Department’s Marine Patrol division. The marina office is also the site of the impounded boat auctions, usually held twice per year. There is a harbormaster’s dock out front with a free pumpout and water, and is available for boaters who need to do business in the office, or as a guest slip for boaters who arrive after hours. Behind the office is the impound dock, where impounded vessels are held until they are released to their owners or they go to auction. The phone  number for the office is (562) 570-3215 , or (562) 570-3101 after hours .

Location of the Alamitos Bay Marina office. Click to expand.

The office can be hard to find, and Google maps has the office erroneously located near the Crab Pot restaurant. To find on Google, search for “Long Beach Marina Headquarters”. The office is located at the very end of Marina Dr. on the tip of the peninsula where the road dead-ends. If you are driving on Marina Dr. and keep the boats on your right-hand side, you will eventually run into the office.

Alamitos Bay Marina Slips

The Alamitos Bay Marina has both public and privately controlled slips. The slips directly under the authority of the city are located 8 different areas in the marina, while the slips in Naples Island and Treasure Island are privately owned. There is usually a waiting list for the city slips, so for up to date information please call the Alamitos Bay office at (562) 570-3215 .

The city controlled slips at the Alamitos Bay Marina are divided into 8 different basins. All slips come with a dock box, dedicated power pedestal, and water. The marina has liveaboard slips for vessels 25′ and up, but the liveaboard status is only granted after a non-liveaboard slip is issued. Since only 10% of the slips can be liveaboard, there is a separate waiting list for these, and the length varies between docks.

Aerial view of Basin 1

Basin 1, located directly behind the marina office, has the largest slips in the marina, ranging from 40′-120′. These include the concrete berths formerly used for commercial purposes.

Aerial view of Basin 2

Basin 2, located between Heritage Yacht Sales and Joe’s Crab Shack, has slips from 25′-40′, including two public slips (for a maximum of two hours) in front of Schooner or Later. Stan Miller Yacht Sales also has several slips and end-ties for their inventory.

Aerial view of Basin 3

Basin 3 is the largest basin in the marina, and has slips from 20′-45′. It runs between Joe’s Crab Shack and the Marina Shipyard . The parking lot in Basin 3 is also the location of the Sunday morning Farmer’s Market.

Basins 4 and 5 are unique in that both are controlled by different yacht clubs.

Aerial view of Basin 4, including the Long Beach Yacht Club

Basin 4 is the home of the Long Beach Yacht Club, and the club has “first right of refusal” for most of the slips. This means that if a slip is available, it is offered to the yacht club first, and if it is turned down, then it would be offered to someone off of the waiting list. The  Long Beach Area Boy Scouts  also has a few slips for their sailing program. As you could imagine, most boats in this basin belong to one of the two organizations.

Aerial view of Basin 5, including the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club

Basin 5 is located at the very end of E. Ocean Blvd, directly across the water from the marina office. All of the boats there are members of the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club , the oldest yacht club in Long Beach. It is gated, and only members and their guests are allowed inside.

Basin 6 is divided into two different areas:

Aerial view of Basin 6 South

Basin 6 South is on Marina Dr, near  Davis Launch Ramp  and the Marina Pacifica Condos. It has slips from 30′-45′ and a separate parking lot.

Aerial view of Basin 6 North

Basin 6 North is located in the Marina Pacific shopping center near the Pacific Coast Highway bridge, and has 30′ slips. This basin also has its own separate parking lot.

Aerial view of Basin 7

Basin 7 is also on E. Ocean Blvd, and shares its docks with the  U.S. Sailing Center . It is the smallest basin in the marina and has only a handful of slips.

Aerial view of Basin 8

Basin 8 is the newest basin in the marina, and has 45-50′ slips. It is located on Costa Del Sol Way near the Pacific Coast Highway bridge, just outside of Jack Nichol Park in Spinnaker Bay. It is the only basin that has gated parking, and laundry machines.

The private slips are located on Bayshore Ave, Naples Island and Treasure Island, right in the middle of the bay. These slips are rented out by the individual property owners, not by the city. The marina office does not keep a list of open slips on the island, so if you are looking at keeping your boat there, you simply need to take a walk along the canals and see who has “For Rent” signs posted on their docks. Since these docks are privately owned, however, the property owner can charge as much as they wish (as long as it is above a minimum amount set by the city), and it is often times much more than the city owned slips.

Alamitos Bay Guest Slips

Boaters wishing to visit Alamitos Bay can reserve a guest end-tie up to 30 days in advance, assuming there is availability. They can accommodate vessels up to 100′, and will need the vessel registration or documentation, the declaration page of your vessel insurance (make sure the limits of liability are at least $100,000), a copy of your ID, and you will need to sign some paperwork (much like at a hotel). The slips can be reserved by calling the office at (562) 570-3215.

Dry Storage

The Alamitos Bay Marina also has several different types of dry storage. There are two different storage yards for trailerable boats at the north end of Marine Stadium, on the corner of Eliot St and Boathouse Lane. The yards are gated, with 24 hour access for renters. The assigned spots can accommodate up to 25′, including the trailer.

The marina also has a small, gated storage yard for kayaks and sabots on E. Ocean Blvd, next to the Leeway Sailing Center. The yard opens up directly to the beach, and is just a short dragging distance away from the water. There are also shore moorings available along the seawall on the bay side of Ocean Blvd, but the waiting list for those can be five years or more. The shore moorings are rings attached to the seawall that can accommodate up to 5 kayaks or sabots.

Services and Amenities

Besides the  Marina Shipyard , the Alamitos Bay Marina has several other services available.

Marina Shipyard

There is a fuel dock, Alamitos Bay Marine   located in Basin 1 on Oil Dock Rd., along with a  vessel towing service  and a lifeguard station.

Mother’s Beach

Mother’s Beach is a child friendly area just across the Davie’s Launch Ramp , on Appian Way. It is a small beach deep inside the bay, with no waves except for the small wakes from the passing boats. There are buoys roping off the water so boats don’t get too close and a lifeguard present during the summer season, so it is perfect for little ones to go wading in. There is also a large playground and a small take out place serving hamburgers, fries, and sodas. There is a fee to park in the parking lot, but there is ample free street parking around the beach.

Lastly, Marine Stadium is host to a weekly Farmer’s Market on Wednesdays, and, during the summer, free concerts by the Long Beach Municipal Band . During these concerts the speed limit is reduced to 5 mph, and boaters are encouraged to bring their boats to the stadium; it is not uncommon to see boats anchored or tied together side-by-side, with people sitting on deck enjoying the music.

One star is generous for this place. I agree with others, the rental boats and dock are in shambles, a run down dump. The boats are not maintained, they have multiple problems and there is no redress. The engine broke down, the furling main was stuck and the bilge pump didn't work. They do not respond to calls.

BEWARE!!!! We rented a sailboat in August 2021 to take a 5 day trip to Catalina island from Long Beach. When we arrived at the location address we found the marina to be in shambles. The docks were old and falling apart. It seemed very unsafe to even walk along the rickety wooden paths to the boat. There wasn't anyone around to greet us or even guide us to the slip of the boat we rented, but we managed to find someone from another company who told us where we would find the boat. We found the slip with a very old sailboat parked in it. This boat that we paid over $4000 to rent was disgusting, in need of repair, filthy, and smelled terribly of mold. The condition of the boat was uninhabitable to say the least. We couldn't bear the smells of the boat from dock let alone standing inside of the boat. I do not recommend renting from this company.

Perfect location to sail to Catalina. The boats are in great shape for 2008s, wonderful experience.

I used to be a member of this club several years ago and it is sad to see how much it has declined in terms of quality and customer service. We rented a boat for all day during the holiday weekend and apparently the person who had the boat the day before never came back! While this is outside clubs control they made no effort to call and inform us that the boat was not there and instead "assumed" it would come back. The issue is our rental started at 9am and we did not arrive until after 10am. This gave them several hours to give us a heads up and at least give us the option for rescheduling instead of having my entire group drive down to Long Beach and then finally tell us the boat was not available. If you want to rent a boat in the Long Beach area I would look to Marina Sailing instead of wasting time with Harbor Island.

Worst Yacht club in the planet !! When I presented to pick up my booked charter, I found myself in a marina from hell. All broken dock and boats that were nothing but was a disaster. This place looked like a graveyard for boats. They have no office. A dude shows up and points me to a boat. The boat is from ancient times, very old, filthy dirty, not cleaned from who knows when, human hair on the floor, cleaning cloths left on the floor yet all dirty, toilet and kitchen dirty, toilet dirty and stinks, the whole boat was a disaster. I asked the manager to give me alternative boat. He declined and told me i take it or leave it. I certainly left it. They have no morals and no professionalism. Total scam and rip off. Complained to Health Department and BBB. They should be shut down!. Inexcusable ...

We rent a boat for Labor Day to enjoy our the day on the water with our friends. After we all drove down there and met up , they told us at the dock there was no boat. Our holiday was completely ruined. They did not have any back up or provide us any compensation for ruining our holiday. We are really angry and disappointed. Avoid renting from here at all costs if you want to have a good time.

We rented the Lagoon 380 Catamaran "In The Shelter" from the Long Beach location from August 10-13, 2016. We're experienced catamaran sailors and this boat was extremely easy to sail. That's the best part. The oven was broke. The fridge was broke. We were notified about the fridge before so prepared accordingly. The stove didn't work great. Some burners worked, others didn't. Good thing there were restaurants on shore. A very poor instruction manual. But the best part was when the propeller spun off one of the motors while we were trying to get out of the harbor. Luckily we have a super diver for a daughter and she dove 22 feet down and hauled it back up! We didn't think to have her find the nut! We limped back to the harbor, glad that the trip was over. Better maintenance of the boat would be nice. And it should have to pass some kind of inspection before it heads out to sea!

reasonable pricing if you're a member, good facilities, dock staff is reasonably friendly. i'd say their san diego location is better than their long beach one. It's a shame that they don't let you keep the free basic keelboat class that comes with the membership if you end your membership before taking the class.

Become a member it's worth it. SD better quality boats but very low key Atmosphere. Friendly and laid back staff. Affordable compared to other clubs
