Hotels near Catalina Express

Jump aboard Catalina Express to travel to the beautiful Santa Catalina Island. Relax by the large window seats from the comfort of the boat’s interior, or head on deck to get panoramic views of the idyllic gulf and maybe even spot some dolphins. Running all year long, Catalina Express leaves from three different ports—Long Beach, San Pedro and Dana Point. Grab a cappuccino or cocktail while you wait at the port of your choice, or upgrade to the Commodore Lounge for priority boarding, more comfortable seating, and beverages and snacks served by the Express’s friendly staff.

    Great way to visit the island!
    The Catalina Express was really the perfect way to visit Catalina Island on a day trip. We splurged and got the Commodore Lounge seats which were in a nice enclosed area on the upper deck and included free snacks and one free drink. Service was good throughout the voyage and it was a surprisingly smooth ride. While the tickets aren’t that cheap, it was worth it for a special excursion.
    Hello! Thank you for your review. We hope you enjoyed your trip and look forward to having you aboard again soon.

    Efficient ferry service to Catalina
    Very efficient service. At first thought it was a bit pricey but it is a 70 minute trip each way. Service was reliable and comfortable. There are some good timings to match check in and check out times for the hotels as well. All staff were happy to help. Even managed to see some dolphins on the way back!

    Good trip
    The trip was good. Everything is good and on time. Unfortunately, the windows are dirty, so it is impossible to get good photos with views. It was written on the network that there is a discount for tickets on the birthday, but in fact - no. Therefore, if someone expects a discount, he will be disappointed.

    Efficient and relaxing way to reach Catalina Island...
    The process to purchase tickets online was easy & convenient. Upon arrival to the terminal, my husband & I found the terminal very clean with tables to enjoy the lunch we brought along while we waited for departure. The restrooms were also very clean. Passengers queued up for boarding. The staff assisted with luggage and we enjoyed sitting back and relaxing for the 70 minute trip. The ship was very clean and the seats comfortable...even took a short nap. The dock at Avalon was within walking distance to our hotel and the walk was very pretty.
    Hello! Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your trip and look forward to having you aboard again soon.

    Upgrade to the Commodore
    Smooth process, quick ride. I highly recommend upgrading to the Commodore Lounge. You get to board before the standard ticket holders and you are located on the upper-indoor deck. The chairs are plus, and you get a free drink and snack. Arrive 1-hour prior to departure and get in line (round trip)... whether you are in the Commodore or standard seating. Parking at Long Beach is close to the boat terminal. About $20 a day to park. The ride one-way is about 70 minutes. In April we saw a pod of about 100 dolphins, and it was magical!

    Smooth Sailing.
    I will start with I’m not good on boats per say, and I thought I was not going to do good on Catalina Express ride , but I have to say after the ride there and back it was so smooth and so relaxing to sit back and enjoy the ride that I see many more trips very soon, the staff is awesome they handle business as one would imagine. Thank you for existing provide this service. Also they provide drinks and snacks and we did need to change our time to come back and they accommodate with standby number and we were able to get home two hours earlier. Thank you Catalina Express Staff.
