I love my club, the other reviews are correct in that our staff is amazing and accommodating. You always feel the special treatment of a private club vs. a public restaurant/bar. They rarely can't accommodate a special request and do it with a smile. From Max, Lisa and Archie at the front to Kyle, Allen, Danny, Javier and Al taking care of your food and drink needs it never disappoints. Most Fridays I find myself wanting to test Allen's Tiki drink of the week and recently fell in love with the Japanese slipper (delicious refreshing Midori drink . Love the new dinning room menu and it's true we have the best fillet of Sole I have had. Activities for all kinds, movie nights, game nights, dancing with live bands, family cruises, races and dock parties. Do your self a favor and come and enjoy DRYC.

A wonderful club, particularly for older people, in so many ways. Assistant manager Archie, servers including but not limited to Allen, Kyle and Danny, accountant Jerilynn are all wonderful. Why not 5-star? The MANAGER can be brutally insensitive and money-mongering...in the face of a loved one's death, or other trauma, entirely inflexible (regarding any temporary payment adjustment) and emotionally tone deaf. Enjoy. But beware this management style. I don't know how or why they keep her. I guess she brings in money.

Incredible food and service! Javier is so welcoming and helpful. I'm too young for alcohol but I heard Alan makes the best Mai Tais ever! I would recommend the filet of sole. The server hailey is very sweet as well and I was so grateful to have her take my order. Join the yacht club! Such a good decision, this is the one.

Been a happy member since 1995. Best Club around bar none. Clubhouse, docks and grounds provide a wonderful space and the friendly members complete the DRYC experience. No boat? No problem! Come for a visit and check it out.

I joined Del Rey Yacht Club over 20 years ago and it was the best decision I could have made. Now I am retired and get to enjoy the Club even more. I keep my boat at its wonderful docks in the Marina and also get to enjoy the Catalina Harbor facility at Catalina Island. You could not ask for more.

Wonderful Sunday Buffet!! Lots of choices ! Very clean ! Great taste! Great Service !!! Valet parking if you want!

Great private yacht club with amenities such as pool, bar, restaurant, etc. that outshines all its competitions in Marina Del Rey.

Del Rey Yacht Club is the premier yacht club in Marina del Rey. The club is steep in tradition, with many 2nd and 3rd generation members making Del Rey Yacht Club the focal point of their family's activities. There is something for everyone, from sailing to angling to the various social events. The calendar is constantly providing new and exciting things to do. Del Rey Yacht Club has a great dining room and vibrant bar with delicious food and drink to tempt everyone. The club's clubhouse facility is second to none. The club has a large parking lot complete with boat hoist to make launching small craft easy. The club's facility on Catalina Island makes the several cruises there great fun. I've enjoyed Del Rey Yacht Club for many years. I'm sure you would enjoy it as well!

We enjoy the bar and casual food scene here. The club has a great view of the marina and many beautiful boats. Danny is the best. Alan and Al are wonderful too.

Danny, Al, and Allen are some of the best people I have ever met. We've been members here for years and we come here now in large part just to catch up with them. They greet us with a smile and a generous pour. In this big city it's really nice to have a place where everybody knows your name. Highly recommend membership here, and even more highly recommend that you come by when Danny is working the bar!

This is a great yacht club with so much great history to it. Wonderful views and facilities. Very friendly members who treat one another like family. Also, very friendly and knowledgeable bar tenders. Not just the Marina del Rey facility is wonderful, but there is also another great facility in Cat Harbor, Catalina Island. Great place to enjoy a very relaxing cruise!

Offshore speedboat contests and long distance cruising were active pursuits as well as sailing ' round the buoys. CYC's trophy case was filled to bursting early on and the Club contributed many of the leaders of Southern California's early yachting organizations. The Clubhouse was the scene of many Los Angeles area social activities and drew visitors from around the world.

'Nothing left': After California Yacht Club fire, residents mourn loss of a beloved spot

In an instant, an overnight seaside blaze engulfed decades' worth of boating trophies, historical artifacts and cherished memorabilia at the California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey on Monday.

Fire crews attempted to control the blaze as heavy smoke and flames consumed the two-story building. By the time they had subdued the fire two hours later, only the skeletal remnants of the clubhouse were left standing.

John Myers, senior vice president of the club, said the blaze had been reported by an employee working late in the clubhouse Monday night. The fire spared the remainder of the facilities on the ground, including the docks and the yachts moored there. But the clubhouse, and particularly its second floor, was all but wiped out.

“We are working closely with the Los Angeles County Fire Department in their investigation of the cause of the incident and will share those findings when they become available to us,” Myers said.

Members are left mourning, comparing the loss to the death of a loved one.

Jennifer Dakoske Koslu awoke in Rancho Mirage at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, before the sun had risen, to find her phone inundated with text messages from club members.

The first message she read simply stated, "The CYC is gone."

“As soon as I opened my phone, it went to a link on the Citizen app and saw a video of the club burning. I was shocked,” Dakoske Koslu said.

For the last 24 years, Dakoske Koslu and her family have been dedicated members of the CYC, whose clubhouse is a few miles away from their home in Playa del Rey. She said it is where her children have grown up, familiarizing themselves with every inch.

“I remember taking my son there on the Fourth of July when he was just 3 weeks old. It was the first place we went with him as a newborn," Dakoske Koslu said.

She and her husband biked to the club in the aftermath of the fire, greeted by the charred remains of the building on Wednesday afternoon.

“The destruction is unbelievable. It's clear that the fire was burning intensely on the second floor,” Dakoske Koslu said. “There's nothing left.”

The second floor once housed a collection of the club's prestigious racing trophies, kept on display for members and visitors. The fire melted all but a single salvageable California Cup. Most notably, the priceless King of Spain Trophy, acquired in 1929 from King Alfonso XIII, was lost.

Additionally, the club lost cherished photographs of every past commodore, a significant position within a yacht club. Members said they didn't know if anyone had digitized the images of the commodores or of the club's founders.

“We would tell yachting stories at the bar around lots of memorabilia, and the yachting artifacts behind the bar are all gone now,” Tom Materna said. “The yacht club provided us a facility for the off-the-water celebrations after hard-fought competition on the water.”

The CYC dates to the early 1920s, started by boat owners from the Los Angeles Athletic Club and other yacht clubs. The Board of Harbor Commissioners approved the first clubhouse in 1922, designed by famed architect Edwin Bergstrom, co-designer of the Pentagon.

In 1965, the yacht club submitted a proposal for an all-encompassing $1-million, two-story, 10,000-square-foot clubhouse on four acres off Admiralty Way. Members envisioned a state-of-the-art facility with 170 boat slips, a guest dock, a small boat hoist and a dry land storage facility for boats. The clubhouse that resulted was dedicated on June 10, 1967.

Then-Commodore William A. DeGroot Jr. told The Times that the triangular parcel of land on which the clubhouse still sits is a “perfectly logical place for a club facility, and a commanding view down the main channel of the marina.”

Though the building has historical significance to its members, it does not have a historic designation, according to Linda Dishman, president of the Los Angeles Conservancy.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and so grateful for the outpouring of support from the community and our members,” Myers said. “CYC has been a beacon for the nautical community for the past 101 years.”

Materna, 68, first found out about the fire through Facebook as friends posted videos and photos of the damage Tuesday morning. Then he began receiving calls and text messages from friends.

“Everybody woke up in the morning and realized we'd lost a significant part of the sailing community,” Materna said.

His connection to the club dates back nearly 52 years, to when he was just 16 years old. After spending 30 years sailing professionally with Hobie Cats, mainly racing catamarans — a watercraft with two parallel hulls of equal size — he recently served as a crew member on other club members' racing yachts.

The CYC is pivotal in the boat racing community, organizing and hosting events such as the Optimist National Championship and Junior Olympic trials, Materna said. He fondly remembers the hundreds of people from across the globe converging on the marina for similar events.

The main topic among members now is what's next for the club. Dakoske Koslu noted that the club's ownership changed over the last few years, and many are unsure and concerned about the club's continuation after the fire.

The club relocated to the marina in 1967, leasing the land it sits on from the county.

“I don't think the county has really valued the contributions of the California Yacht Club as an important part of the Marina. They value Trader Joe's because it's more money for them,” Dakoske Koslu said.

Dakoske Koslu said she’s seen numerous small marine-oriented businesses displaced from the marina, making way for more commercialized developments such as Trader Joe's and Recreational Equipment Inc.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said the fire was first reported around 11.30pm Monday at the Yacht Club on Admiralty Way.

When crews arrived at the scene, thick smoke and flames engulfed the two-story building that was founded in 1922 and built in 1967. 

'My dad built this place in the early 60s and it has been our home for many years...such a tragedy to see it burn down,' Steve Hathaway, the former owner of  California Yacht Club, told CBS Los Angeles.  

Pictures show the aftermath of the blaze at the California Yacht Club that was filled with thick smoke and flames Monday night 

The blaze was extinguished just before 1.30am Tuesday, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

The two male firefighters who were hurt suffered mild injuries while they battled the flames. They were taken to a local hospital, Los Angeles County Fire Department PIO Fred Fielding said. No other injuries were reported.

Pictures revealed the now charred perimeter of the clubhouse, which according to the California Yacht Club, was where the fire damaged. 

The many boats surrounding the club were intact, and the roof of the clubhouse also appeared to be untouched by the flames. 

Only the clubhouse was effected by the inferno as none of the boats docked in the water around it were  damaged

The famed club has been known to frequently host national and international regattas- water races like rowing and sailing. 

It relocated to Marina del Rey after it was founded near San Pedro in Wilmington Harbor in 1922. 

The coastal community, located four miles north of Los Angeles, is made of 807 acres, 'of which half is underwater,' according to  the Marina Del Rey Tourism Board .

It remains unclear what sparked the blaze but  an Instagram post by the club said: 'we will work together on what's next' 

Marina del Rey translates to 'Harbor of the King' in Spanish and is popularly visited by sail boats, powerboats, along with rented and owned charters. 

Fishers also come to the water in hopes of catching yellowfin tune, perch, barracuda, rockfish, cod, mackerel and sea bass.   

'Thank you to all of the first responders and our thoughts are with the two firefighters injured. Our community is strong and we will work together on what’s next,' the California Yacht Club said in an Instagram post.

Brittany Mahomes jets to Mexico for pal’s bachelorette party following Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Brittany Mahomes headed south of the border for a fun-filled girls’ trip after spending the last week and a half celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win with her family.

The mother of two, 28, took a private jet down to Tulum, Mexico, on Thursday for one of her best friend’s bachelorette party.

After touching down in Mexico, Mahomes took to her Instagram Story to announce that they had finally “made it” and were ready to get the party started.

“Time to celebrate our girl,” she captioned a photo of herself cheersing the bride-to-be, Mallory Moss, with personalized “Tulum Beach Club” cups.

Although it’s unclear where the group is staying, the shot showed a tropical pool, hammock and cabana area in the background.

Some of the other ladies also shared videos of the lavish outdoor space, which features a bar and a bed jutting into the pool area.

After enjoying a few drinks at their villa, the group seemingly made their way to a private yacht, where they spent the day on the crystal-clear water.

Once onboard, the group made a toast to Moss before downing their drinks.

While the bride wore white for the excursion, Mahomes and the rest of the presumed bridal party donned black swimwear.

Despite partying until the wee hours of the morning , the couple jetted to Disneyland the day after the game alongside their daughter, Sterling Skye, 3, and their son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 1.

“The day after the Super Bowl Win, grind for Mom and Dad, best time ever for Sterling and Bronze 😂🤍✨” Brittany captioned a photo of the family four outside Sleeping Beauty’s castle.

“But would do it over and over again, so same time next year Dad??” she jokingly added.

The star quarterback, also 28, also shared a video from their family trip to the happiest place on Earth last week, including clips of his kids meeting Mickey and Minnie Mouse, as well as the Chiefs parade down Main Street.

Less than one week after arriving home from their festivities, the parents of two threw a blowout butterfly-themed backyard birthday party for their daughter.

The duo pulled out all the stops for their little one, with ball pits, bounce houses, lavish floral displays and balloons adorning the outdoor area.

After such a hectic last few weeks, Brittany is surely enjoying some girl time in the sunshine.

A Virginia couple is feared dead after three escaped prisoners stole their docked yacht from a Caribbean marina and fled to another island.

Ralph Hendry and his wife Kathy Brandel, who live on their yacht, Simplicity, were last seen by a boating neighbor on Sunday afternoon in St. George’s on the island nation of Grenada, as they headed to a restaurant.

The pair live on their boat during the winter and arrived on the island two weeks prior, intending to stay another week before they went missing.

“They went into town [on Sunday] to have a little bite and to walk back,” Hendry’s sister Suellen Desmarais  told WPTV-Tampa . “Somehow Ralph crossed paths in this teeny tiny town with these three men. What happened after that, we’re not sure.”

‘This was their whole life,” she added. “They didn’t own another home; they didn’t own cars; they owned Simplicity.”

‘Ralph and Kathy are the kindest people in the entire world, and I just can’t understand how a tragedy like this could happen to people as kind and nice as them.”

Hendry and Brandel have sailed the same route for the past few years, from Virginia to Massachusetts before heading down to Florida to visit Desmarais, and eventually to the Caribbean where they would island hop,  according to ABC News.

They went missing the same day that three fugitives, Ron Mitchell, 30, Trevon Robertson, 19, and Abita Stanislaus, 25, escaped the South St. George Police Station. The escapees then made their way to the marina, where they fled to another Caribbean island, authorities said.

They were subsequently captured on Wednesday in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

“The RGPF is currently working on leads that suggest that the two occupants of the yacht may have been killed in the process,” the Royal Grenada Police Force said in a press release.

“It is believed that the occupants of the yacht were American citizens.”

The suspects each face one count of robbery with violence. Mitchell, a sailor, was separately charged with one count of rape, three counts of attempted rape, two counts of indecent assault and causing harm.

The Simplicity was recovered by authorities after a Good Samaritan found it anchored off of a St. Vincent beach. When they boarded, they discovered the boat had been ransacked and “found evidence of apparent violence.”

Authorities spotted bloodstains in the interior but no sign of the couple,  according to People magazine .

Desmarais, however, is holding out hope the couple is still alive.

“It feels made up, and I just can’t comprehend why someone would do this?” she said. “Why didn’t someone just take the boat?

‘What happened in Grenada was a perfect storm. It was a perfect tragedy of a perfect storm of a perfect love story.”

She also  told Fox 5 DC,  “Why would I presume anyone is dead with no body and DNA? I want to remain positive. I want to believe that they are alive,”

Hendry and Brandel’s two children and Hendry’s nephew traveled to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to join the search for the couple on Friday, according to reports.

“This investigation is in its infancy stage and the RGPF have dispatched a team of senior investigators and a forensic specialist to St. Vincent in furtherance of this investigation,” the RGPF said.
