Since 1961 the members and officers of the Seal Beach Yacht Club have extended a warm and friendly welcome to fellow boaters and enthusiasts. We are both power and sail boaters. In 2013 Southern California Yachting Association recognized the diversity and extent of our many activities by awarding us Yacht Club of The Year. We are a major PHRF sailboat racing sponsor, have weekend and week long cruises, dinners, themed parties with bands or DJ's, full bar service and THE BEST SUNSET VIEW IN ALAMITOS BAY.

If you want to race your own boat Seal Beach Yacht Club is the club for you. We are a major PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) Regatta sponsor. Ask around the harbor to get an appreciation for the outstanding job our race committee does. Saturday Sailors Series is 5 races from January through March.
The Seal Beach Yacht Club Sailing Foundation is entering into its 19th year. We offer spring, summer and fall programs to local communities to educate seamanship, teamwork and environmental awareness of our precious coastal resource. In addition to offering education, we offer employment to local young adults as coaches.
Cruises are a core activity of the club. We mix it up with a combination of weekend and week-long cruises paced for both power and sail. On some trips we unplug the yellow power cord and anchor out. Other trips are to reciprocal yacht clubs and we are safely secured and plugged in at their dock. There are many cruises to Catalina Island, a trip north to the Channel Islands and a week long cruise to San Diego.
Getting out on the water is one of the best reasons to belong to a yacht club. We offer many fun events throughout the year for members to be on the water with old and new friends. Most of these events are open to members without a boat. This is open to all small boats, like electric boats, dinghies, and whalers.
The Seal Beach Yacht Club (SlBYC) is a dynamic family-oriented club featuring an extensive cruising program, regattas and sailboat racing. The membership is a lively social group who enjoy parties and dances throughout the year. The club bar is open Thursday through Sunday in the summer and weekends in the winter.

I attended the Club's annual Christmas party. These folks know how to party! Great dinner, excellent band (the "Dave's Not Home"), and bar service that would not stop! The Club members obviously all knew each other well and got along famously. It must be from all of those boat races, trips to Catalina Island, and meet-ups with other clubs. The members formed a very good choir that was most entertaining. We were also serenaded by a beatuful trumpet solo. Thanks for having me as a guest. Merry Christmas to all!

My son and his friend took the beginning sabot class here on the recommendation of a friend who loved the place for her sons. We were disappointed because the course was taught by disinterested teenagers who don't seem to actually want anything to do with teaching children to sail. When one of the other kids was not cooperating, the entire class was penalized and could not have sailing time. That's bogus when we had paid to have our kids learning. I absolutely would not recommend the kids' class.

I'm attending "America's Boating Course" offered by the Alamitos Bay Power Squadron - the local chapter of a recreational boating organization. A USGA for Boats?
It is held a this pleasant and quaint local Seal Beach Yacht Club, which is on the back side of the famous "Schooner or Later" diner (Diners, Drive-in and Dives - season 1(?)). Its also adjacent to West Marine - an awesome marine boating supermarket. Joe's Crab Shack is across the parking lot, and Mimi's Cafe is located across the Marine Drive. There is ample parking in the free parking lot
