Catalina Express offers daily boat trips to and from Catalina Island. Located 22 miles off the Southern Californian coast, the island is a favorite getaway for local Californians, who head there to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy its beautiful Mediterranean climate, and a range of fun activities.

The journey to Catalina Island takes an hour and the company’s fleet of high-speed ferries ensures the trip is safe, quick and comfortable. Boats depart from Long Beach, San Pedro, and Dana Point, and there are up to 30 daily departures year-round.

Catalina Island has something for everyone, whether you are looking to escape from it all or only visit for a day. The picturesque town of Avalon offers an array of land and sea activities, while the quaint, tranquil village of Two Harbors has some beautiful beaches.
