In 1937 LAYC moved from the California Yacht Club facility into a "temporary" New England–style clubhouse in Fish Harbor, San Pedro where it remained for the next 56 years.

LAYC moved in 1993 to its present location at Cabrillo Marina in San Pedro.

LAYC members have continued to sail in and officiate the start of the Transpac race which is held every two years.

Los Angeles Yacht Club also hosts the annual Pacific Coast Mercury Class Championship and the Port of Los Angeles Harbor Cup Cal Maritime Invitational Intercollegiate Regatta.

In addition to its mainland San Pedro clubhouse, Los Angeles Yacht Club maintains an outstation facility at Howland's Landing on Catalina Island, California.
