About
Why we started
Catalina should feel personal, not packed. Deep Sea Catalina exists to make the island easier, calmer, and more private for small groups.
Deep Sea Catalina started with a simple frustration: the best island in Southern California, and the only ways there were a crowded ferry or a five-figure yacht.
[Founder/Captain Name] had spent [years] running boats across this channel and knew there was a better way — a right-sized boat, a captain who actually knows the coves, and a day that belongs to one family at a time. So [he/she] built it.
Today we take families and small groups out the way we'd want to go ourselves: private, relaxed, and in good hands from the dock and back.

Values
The way we want to take people out
Safe & handled
Effortless & transparent
We keep the operation intentionally small so the day feels handled, human, and built around the people on board.
