Deep Sea Catalina

Experience

Avalon Day Trip

The island town, the easy way

Avalon harbor & the Casino

Catalina's only real town is a tiled, golf-cart-filled pocket of old California — and the best way to arrive is on your own boat, not shoulder-to-shoulder on the ferry. We handle the channel crossing while you settle in, then drop you into Avalon with the whole day ahead: wander the harbor front, ride a golf cart up to the lookouts, tour the historic Casino, grab lunch by the water, and snorkel protected Lover's Cove if the mood strikes. When you're ready, we cruise you home along the coast.
