About The Billfish

In 1994, Catalina Island Yacht Club (CIYC) members Bill Melville and Jerry Lewis co-founded the CIYC Billfish Invitational. Inspired by Bill’s cousin, who had organized the Church Mouse Marlin Invitational in Avalon two years prior, Bill and Jerry thought it would be a good way to raise money while doing something they were passionate about. And so began a great tradition that has given both Club members and other sportsmen a challenging and fun event while benefitting Island charities.

Randy Weaver and Anthony Salcido took over the helm in 2008 and worked very hard during the next 11 years to raise at least $20,000 annually, which included proceeds from raffle prizes generously donated by local businesses and individuals. These funds help support Avalon Search and Rescue, Catalina Island Medical Center, and Avalon charities supporting kids’ programs.

For 20 years, Cheryl Melville, S/C Connie Wiseman, Julie Christiansen, and Sandy Shugart, affectionately known as “The Galley Slaves” cooked all the food. In 2013, the Tournament’s 20th Anniversary, the Galley Slaves declared their freedom from cooking and retired. Since then, the same menu has been prepared by a local caterer, Margie Wahl, along with a hosted bar on Thursday and Saturday nights generously donated by Cheryl Melville.

The Invitational begins each year with a Captain’s Meeting on Thursday night. Rules are covered and strategies laid out, all with an abundance of fine food and drink.

Friday morning, it’s lines in at 6 a.m. Some participants will leave in the dark of the night on Thursday to travel elsewhere in search of hot spots. Others may not venture far from the harbor.

Typically, the first marlin caught wins the tournament, unless another boat catches two. However, there’s always line-class to consider. If a marlin is caught on 50 lb. test line, and another team catches one on 30 lb. test line, the team catching their fish on lighter tackle would be ahead in the standings. Teams may use 20#, 30#, 50# and 80# test line in the tournament.

To keep things interesting, the Tournament also includes a Gamefish Division. Any of the following species qualify – tuna, dorado, wahoo, yellowtail, and white seabass. Each catch is taken to the Green Pier by 4:00 p.m. on Saturday to get an official weight slip to be submitted to the Tournament Committee.

Some boats choose to stay out Friday night. However, teams fishing close by can come into the Club on Friday evening for drinks, appetizers and to swap fish stories.

All teams are required to be back in Avalon Harbor on Saturday by 4 p.m. to turn in photos showing their marlin or swordfish alongside the boat with leader in hand.

A sit-down dinner consisting of Swordfish steaks, barbecued by Club members, is always enjoyed by a hungry crowd of approximately 120 anglers and guests. The awards program and raffle follow dinner.

Unfortunately, the Tournament had to be paused in 2020-2021 due to COVID. In 2022, Bob and Sally Kurz were set to host the Tournament, but Hurricane Kay forced it to be postponed once again. In 2023, the Billfish Invitational was finally relaunched with a record number of boats and $35,000 raised for Island Charities. Team Dialed Inn took First Place honors releasing a Striped marlin on the first day. Team Parlay won the Gamefish Division catching a Bluefin Tuna weighing 175 pounds.

The 2024, the CIYC Billfish Invitational will be held September 5th – 7th. Invitations will be sent out beginning in March. If you would like to participate email either Bob Kurz at [email protected] or Sally Kurz at [email protected]

Catalina Island Yacht Club 

The plaque on the outside of the Catalina Yacht Club, located on Casino Way, reads:

The Catalina Island Yacht Club has been a welcoming landmark in Avalon Bay since the building was completed in 1924. One of the oldest and most unique yacht clubs in Southern California, it has a proud history rich in the lore and tradition of Catalina Island. Community groups and members from throughout the Western United States enjoy its enduring hospitality and fellowship while sharing a common love of Catalina Island and the City of Avalon. The clubhouse built and maintained by its members has been in continuous operation since its completion except for during the war years of 1942-1945 when it was used by the Merchant Marine as a training center. It was returned to the membership in late 1945.

A Century of Camaraderie: Catalina Island Yacht Club Marks 100 Years

catalina island yacht club member login

AVALON– The Catalina Island Yacht Club (CIYC) kicked off its 100th season in grand style on May 25th. A resounding cannon shot marked the raising of the American flag, setting the tone for a momentous occasion. Supervisor Janice Hahn’s office presented Commodore John Wells with a proclamation honoring the club’s rich history. Harbor Master Orne Carstarphen of the Avalon Harbor Department concluded the ceremony with a celebratory water cannon salute. The festivities continued with an Opening Day parade featuring a colorful display of dinghies traversing the harbor. This centennial year promises a calendar packed with special events, including participation in the city’s Fourth of July parade and a grand gala at the iconic Avalon Casino.

Catalina Island, a haven for boaters and beachgoers alike, boasts a rich maritime tradition. Nestled in the heart of Avalon Bay is the CIYC, a historic landmark that has served as a social hub and a welcoming harbor for generations.

From Humble Beginnings to Enduring Legacy (1893 – Present)

The CIYC’s story stretches back to 1893, when the Banning brothers, who owned most of Catalina Island at the time, established the island’s first yacht club. This initial iteration catered primarily to the Bannings themselves and other island residents who shared a passion for sailing. However, the club didn’t last long.

A decade later, in 1903, residents reignited the dream of a dedicated yacht club. This time, they founded the Sophia Yacht Club on the approximate site of the present-day CIYC. This marked the beginning of a more enduring institution.

Over the years, the club has weathered storms (both literal and figurative). Expansions and renovations have taken place, most notably in 1924 when the current clubhouse was built. The Catalina Island Yacht Club has persevered, evolving into a cornerstone of the island’s yachting community.

Today, the CIYC stands proudly on Casino Way, its white facade and iconic blue trim a familiar sight to boaters cruising into Avalon Bay. Stepping inside the clubhouse, visitors are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Nautical decor adorns the walls and large windows offer panoramic views of the harbor, creating a perfect setting to unwind after a day spent exploring the island’s coves and coastline.

Membership in the CIYC comes with a host of privileges. The heart of the club is the spacious main dining room, where members can enjoy delicious meals with breathtaking views. For a more casual setting, the club also features a bar and lounge area, perfect for socializing with fellow members.

The Catalina Island Yacht Club extends its reach beyond its dedicated members. The club frequently hosts social events and regattas, drawing in the broader yachting community and celebrating the sport of sailing. Additionally, the CIYC maintains a strong commitment to the island itself. They support local businesses and organizations, fostering a spirit of community within the island’s yachting scene.

The Catalina Island Yacht Club has undeniably played a pivotal role in shaping Catalina’s maritime heritage. As they look towards the future, they remain committed to providing a welcoming space, fostering camaraderie and preserving the island’s rich nautical traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of boats and the captivating allure of the sea, the Catalina Island Yacht Club offers an invitation to connect with the island’s vibrant yachting community and soak in the stunning scenery of Avalon Bay.

Catalina Island Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs on the West Coast. The historic club, located on the Avalon waterfront, was founded in 1924.

An initial island yacht club was founded on March 28, 1892 as the Catalina Yacht Club [CYC] by the Banning brothers who owed Catalina Island before the Wrigley Family:

  • William Lacey, Jr., Commodore
  • Hancock Banning, Vice-Commodore
  • James J. Myler, Secretary

Executive Committee

  • William Lacey, Jr.
  • Hancock Banning
  • John A. Schumacher
  • J. J. Myles

Membership Committee

  • T. B. Brown
  • N. W. Latham
  • William R. Staats
  • R. T. Harvey
  • Dr. A. G. MacGowan

The Catalina Yacht Club [CYC] never got off the ground and was disbanded on May 15, 1914. In the meantime, the Sophia Yacht Club [SYC], formed in 1903, transformed into the Catalina Motor Boat Club, had begun construction of a facility at the beach. Although the first pilings and floor were placed as early as 1903, no further construction occurred. Boat builder, J. E. “Pard” Mathewson built his boat shop at the location, but the Avalon fire of 1915 destroyed the facility.

In early 1924, James Jump and others decided to organize the new Catalina Island Yacht Club [CIYC]. The initial lease with the Santa Catalina Island Company was executed on February 1, 1924. Club Commodore was Jimmy Jump. Attorney was Ralph Bandini . Eighteen members of the Tuna Club provided the capital to build the yacht club facility utilizing the Catalina Motor Boat Club [Sophia Yacht Club] pier site. Classes of membership were set, with all property being vested in no more than 30 charter members, each of whom had to own or have a substantial interest in a boat. Each charter member provided a loan of $400 to the club. The Santa Catalina Island Company, under the direction of D. M. Renton, constructed a two-story frame club house on the existing pier foundation. Club Opening Day was August 23, 1924.

By 1931 membership reached 270 before declining with the Depression. During the War years, from 1942 to 1945, Catalina Island was largely closed to the public and Catalina Island Yacht Club facility was used by the Navy and Merchant Marine.

Catalina Island Yacht Club Club members have included many well-known Hollywood personalities including Jack Warner, Rudolph Valentino, Tom Mix, James Cagney, and Darryl Zanuck. The iconic clubhouse is among the most important and photographed landmarks on the Island of Catalina.

June 3, 1925 [TI/Avalon]: “Catalina Island Yacht Club formal opening and banquet, season of 1925. By Charles H. Smith. Avalon Bay never looked quite so gay as on Saturday and Sunday, when pleasure craft in great variety, from the large stately power yacht to the graceful little Star sailing sloop, gathered on its placid waters, bringing many yachtsmen and their fair feminine friends from near and far to celebrate the formal opening of the Catalina Island Yacht Club for the season of 1925. Naturally, the beautiful clubhouse of this young organization of yachtsmen was the central attraction for the many visitors. The prince of secretaries, Ed Abbott, gave everybody a cordial greeting, and showed them through the beautiful building. Many were the worthy words of praise bestowed because of the lovely furnishings and general comfortable conveniences provided for the ease and pleasure of the members and their friends. The elegant wicker-work chairs and settees, the handsome rugs, the tasteful decorations, the beautiful paintings on the walls, the neat office of the secretary, the convenient rest rooms for both men and women, the attractive array of signal flags, the flashing light in the tall tower — in fact, the general motif of the clubhouse throughout, were enthusiastically and favorable commented upon. An exhibit of special interest was the glittering array of silver cups of elegant designs which are to be offered as prizes in the several Club tournaments this season. The first one will take place july 4th. There will be another on Labor Day, and possibly others. Full particulars concerning these events will be given later. The annual dinner was partaken of in the banquet hall of the Hotel St. Catherine, and the personnel of the company was an attractive one. Men of muscle, bronzed by the salt sea breezes; slim school lads, yearning to become full-fledged yachtsmen — and ladies, sweet and lissom, stately and attractive, lent their presence to the busy scene. As always at this caravansary, the dinner itself was superb, and its appetizing qualities were but added to by the pleasant social converse as the meal progressed. Following dinner there was a general return to the clubhouse, where the floor had been cleared for dancing.”

April 8, 2017 [The Log]: “Catalina Island Yacht Club has a new lease with the city of Avalon, as the two parties came to an accord during the City Council’s April 4 meeting. The Yacht Club will remain at its current location through 2023 and have an option to extend lease terms an additional 10 years. Current lease terms were set to expire in 2020. Avalon city officials offered the yacht club a three-year extension and 10-year option in July 2016. Club leadership, however, sought a longer extension term. Both parties, however, finally agreed to the July 2016 offer after a nine-month delay. Original story 7/20/2017: A planned discussion on lease extension talks to keep Catalina Island Yacht Club at its current waterfront location in Avalon was postponed to a later meeting, according to City Manager David Jinkens. The yacht club lease extension was to be discussed at Avalon City Council’s March 21 meeting. However a representative from Catalina Island YC (or CIYC) was not able to attend the meeting. Catalina Island YC hopes to continue its lease arrangement with the city of Avalon, but final terms of the extension have not yet been finalized. Yacht club staff sought a longer lease with the city, however both sides need more time to negotiate certain details, according to Avalon city staff. “While the CIYC management would like a longer term lease that conforms to previous city extensions they understand that more time is needed to discuss and negotiate terms and the bases and rationale for a longer-term lease,” city staff stated in a report to council members. “City management has suggested … the basis for a longer term lease could be agreement by the CIYC to provide financial support for construction of a new city-owned recreational facility in the harbor area.” Both sides will come to terms on a lease extension, city staff added; it’s just a matter of determining the length of the lease extension. City officials had most recently proposed an extension through 2023, with an option to extend another 10 years. Catalina Island YC’s headquarter was built in 1924. The club funded its construction. The yacht club could remain at its current location through 2033 should both parties reach amenable terms. Current lease terms, last extended in 1995, were originally set to expire in 2020. An agreement could be finalized later this year.”

We are members of a Yacht club in San Diego and have used our reciprocal privileges all over the world. The person behind the buzzer at this yacht club was curt, snobby and discouteous. Disgraceful.

Photo of Capt'n F.

Such a nice place, at least I think it is! It's a shame that they cannot accept reciprocals "because of their size and location." Our club is half their size and has reciprocals with nearly every yacht club in the world including San Francisco's prestigious St. Francis yacht club. It's too bad that Avalon's members can't visit us and share our camaraderie!
