About

If a full day charter is what you have in mind Catalina Island is the destination to set course for! Choose to visit one of the only two towns on the island, Two Harbors or Avalon, both of which are truly unique!

Choose Your Destination

Two Harbors
Charter a private yacht for a day on the water and head to Two Harbors Catalina Island. This laid-back town is located on the largely undeveloped west-end of the island. The town’s one general store and one restaurant are surrounded by stunning hills, beaches, and reefs, providing all you’ll need for an idyllic sunny California vacation.

From the yacht you can cruise the island to take in views of untouched coastline. Borrow our binoculars to find an island buffalo. If you want a truly personalized experience, let our crew give you a tour of the different coves and mooring fields field with beautiful yachts and sailboats. Our favorites are Fourth of July, Cherry Cove, Howlands Landing, and Emerald Bay.

If you’re up for an adventure, head to shore and take one of the dozens of hiking trails and try to catch a glimpse of the island’s infamous wild buffalo or cross the isthmus and stroll along Cat Harbor (the backside of Two Harbors). From there you can test how far you can see into the horizon. Want to stick closer to the yacht but still crave something special, paddleboard and snorkel as you count the stunningly orange California state fish, the Garibaldi.

If you’re feeling less rugged and don’t want to brave the wild buffalo, check out the buffalo milk cocktail at the town’s restaurant (no real buffalo milk, but a seriously delicious treat!). The towns restaurant frequently hosts live bands and serves food and drink on an expansive outdoor patio and even at tables literally on the beach; providing you a meal with your toes in the sand.

Avalon
Enjoy the island’s captivating beauty as you cruise along the untouched sections only to end at the a vibrant island town. Stay aboard and spot historic landmarks like the Catalina Casino or have food delivered from the island’s restaurants directly to the yacht.

No need to feel marooned on the yacht. Have our crew take you to shore by dinghy and immerse yourself in this lively island town. Shops, restaurants, and spas provide plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy island life. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, rent a golf cart to tour the surrounding areas or actually spend a couple hours golfing on the island’s course. If you’re really feeling daring, see the island from the treetops as you zip line across the canopies.

Take your trip to the next level by visiting during the annual Catalina Wine Mixer or one of the summer’s Descanso Beach DJ. There’s no shortage of fun things to do on the island, so everyone in your group will get a taste of something they love and no-one will leave without making memories that will last a lifetime.

Pricing listed is based on cruising at 10-kts which is a very comfortable speed allowing guests to enjoy their time on the yacht. However, if you’d like to get somewhere quickly to allow you more time at the destination our yachts are capable at cruising at faster speeds but a fuel surcharge may apply. Pricing varies based on yacht, speed, destination, and fuel prices so please reach out if you’d like to discuss this option.
