The adventure begins the moment you step aboard the Catalina Flyer. Departing from scenic Newport Beach, this high-speed catamaran carries you across the sparkling Pacific in comfort and style. In just about an hour, you’ll trade mainland traffic for island time—cruising past open water, soaking in fresh ocean air, and maybe even spotting dolphins along the way.
Spacious indoor seating, outdoor viewing decks, and a smooth, stable ride make the Catalina Flyer as enjoyable as the destination itself. Whether you're planning a spontaneous day trip or a long-awaited weekend escape, the journey feels effortless. With convenient departures and streamlined booking through Catalina Adventure Tours, getting to the island has never been easier.
Before you know it, you’ll glide into the picturesque harbor of Avalon—colorful hillside homes, turquoise waters, and palm-lined streets welcoming you ashore. From beaches and boutique shopping to snorkeling, dining, and eco-adventures, Catalina Island is calling—and the Catalina Flyer is your front-row seat to getting there.
