We had a wonderful experience on this boat. It made my moms birthday very special. We felt the hosts and the captains are very kind and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had a nice time. We recommend captain Doug and Donna (and our captain Jimmy) very highly!
Highly Recommend for taking visitors or groups out on the Harbor. Excellent communications and location. You won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic day on the water! This was everything we asked for.. amazing crew, great hospitality, great boat. We have been on a few charters and none have matched this level of quality. A HUGE thank you to Tomas and Kyle. They took amazing care of us and since it started raining the cabin was a great refuge until it cleared up. There’s no other way to rent a boat then this charter, thank you all so much!

Easy booking Daniel was very helpful with direction and upon arrival with getting things on boat we definitely plan on booking again definitely worth it

You can reach the island on the express ferry, which takes about an hour and departs daily from Long Beach, arriving in Avalon. Once you get to Catalina, the options for outdoor activities are endless. It’s a haven for boating enthusiasts, scuba divers looking to explore the magical kelp forests, and families looking to see dolphins, whales, sea lions, and all types of seabirds.

Here you can explore the shops and restaurants on the island. So much of Catalina Island is inaccessible to people, as it's preserved nature, but you can see the natural beauty of the island the best from a boat. Overnight charters are available if you’re looking to stay on Catalina for multiple days, and want the experience of sleeping on board a boat, while also getting a full view of all angles of the island.
If you’re looking to go snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, scuba diving, or just relax on a boat with a cocktail, you can find it with a Catalina Island boat charter.
