We are a young, energetic and fast-growing yacht club, proud of our recently expanded and newly decorated clubhouse. the cozy full-service bar overlooks the board walk of Shoreline Village, part of the Downtown Marina and the skyline of Long Beach.The adjacent dining room provides a relaxed, casual setting for all to share their latest boating experiences. Window seats in the existing facility dining room overlook the marina and the Queen Mary. We are the only yacht club facility in the 1,750 slip Shoreline Marina.

Although Shoreline Yacht Club is unique in its location, it is our membership, from our volunteer bartenders to our flag officers, that make the club happen. Our affordable monthly dues broaden our membership and encourage family participation.

As a member of our yacht club, you will find more opportunities to enjoy your boat. You'll cruise to different harbors and anchorage's with other members. Our cruises frequently include dinner at another yacht club. Mix in a few new friends and a good party now and then, and you get the "total yacht club experience." The following membership opportunities/benefits are available in addition to those presented on the following pages.

Community Affairs

SYC is an active participant in the local Charity Regatta supporting Children's hospital.

Angling

If fishing is your game - we have a group that combines such activities with our cruising enthusiasts.

Reciprocity

One of the often overlooked benefits of a membership in a Yacht Club is the reciprocity privileges that are available. Members of Shoreline Yacht Club can enjoy the use of over forty other clubs from Santa Barbara to San Diego that have entered into formal reciprocity agreements with us. Beyond this, however, there is a sort of unwritten policy wherein most yacht clubs generally welcome members of other clubs located more that 100 miles distant, enabling with but a few exceptions, regular members of Shoreline Yacht Club access to the facilities of other yacht clubs throughout the World. This benefit often includes the possibility of obtaining a slip or mooring (for a limited time) either free of charge or at minimal cost.
