Amazing Catalina Island Trip
Tour of Catalina Full Day - 8:00 AM on July 15, 20265 adults

We left Long Beach harbor around 8:30 am. We returned around 7:30 pm. In between we had the most incredible experience fishing, sightseeing and enjoying the boat. Knowledge from our Captain and help from our first mate made our trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend! It was a dream day!

What a ride!
Catalina Private Ferry - 11:00 AM on July 7, 20262 adults

Capt Jon was awesome! Such a nice guy and his deck hand too. Took a ride out to Two Harbors, ate lunch, cruised the island and headed back home. Amenities and vibe on the boat were great. Thanks for a great time!
