The Back Story:
Catalina Island Yacht Club
Avalon’s serene harbor is a favorite destination for boating enthusiasts. The origins of the Catalina Island Yacht Club, one of the oldest on the West Coast, date to 1893. After the original facility was destroyed in the fire that swept through Avalon in 1915, the club rebuilt on the existing site. Catalina’s historic “casino” on the other side of the harbor has been the focal point of the Island’s entertainment and culture since 1929.
