Huntington Harbour Yacht Club

History

The Huntington Harbour Yacht Club was formed and incorporated in October, 1965. When it started the club met at the Barefoot Bar located on the beach at the Bay and Racquet Club on Warner Avenue until it moved into it's present clubhouse. In 1977 the Club signed a 30 year lease to it's present site with the City of Huntington Beach. The membership designed and built the original building and docks in 1977 and 1978. The original facilities were dedicated on April 15, 1978. The clubhouse was enlarged to it's present configuration with the addition of 3,000 square feet in April, 1984. Since 1966 the Club has been a member of the Southern California Yachting Association, attaining senior membership in 1981. As a member of the SCYA the club members are entitled to reciprocity with all other recognized yacht clubs and the club frequently cruises to and enjoys the hospitality and facilities of the other yacht clubs in Southern California. When traveling HHYC members are welcomed at clubs all

Specialties

Founded in 1965, HHYC Has played an active role in our community by providing a venue for many local philanthropic groups and offering a true Yacht Club experience to our growing membership. Our members enjoy on and off the water events that bring a certain pride and togetherness to those that take part in our fun cruises and boating events. Our kids Sailing School, well known as the Huntington Beach Sailing Foundation, will teach the needed skills to the many kids that will be the future of Sailing throughout Southern California. We are more than a Yacht Club as many of our non boat owners will tell you, as the social functions at the club are the reasons many people from our community have joined together to take part in our many Holiday events or attend a Friday evening starting at our bar, overlooking Catalina Island, followed by a well presented dinner in our spacious dining room. Also popular is our Sunday Brunch in a sunny bay setting while sipping a mimosa and meeting new friends.
