Our TripAdvisor 5-Star Sailboat Excursions on Catalina Island
When you cruise with us you get to experience the tranquility of having the engine off and the sails up. We’ve found that the peacefulness of sailing attracts more wildlife. We’ve had pods of dolphins swim with us for miles, it’s a thrilling sight to see.
Our vessels are always clean and ready to go, providing unforgettable good times for families, couples, and groups.
Private Sailing Charters
Our private charters are perfect for celebrating your special occasions from wedding proposals to bachelorette parties to wedding anniversaries. The more time we have with you the further we can go and the more things we can see and do. Our Half Day trips give us time to take you for a lunch and swim at a private cove along Catalina's unspoiled coastline. Our Full Day trips allow us to take you for a visit at Two Harbors or even circumnavigate the island itself.
If you don’t see a standard time slot that works for you please contact us. We can look at the calendar together and design your ideal private cruise. We can accommodate multi-day sailing trips, channel crossings from the mainland, overnight beach camping, film and photo shoot work, executive team building, private sailing instruction and much more. And please inquire about our Birthday Party and Family discounts.

Raphael was such a great guy and so awesome from the moment we first talked. He graciously called me after I submitted my inquiry online. He helped me decide what was available given our ferry schedule and other things we were doing on the island for the day.
We ended up doing a 2.5 hr sunset sail and it did not disappoint! Again, Raphael was the best, making us feel safe, relaxed and informed about the island, sharing about the island's history and the sea life. We had a fantastic time on the on our sail. Would highly recommend! Very reasonable pricing for all that you get (drinks, a charcuterie plate and the utmost professional service).

Our group had an absolutely incredible 10/10 experience! From start to finish, everything was beyond magical.
Rafa and Tiff were outstanding hosts and amazing communicators- before, during and after our charter. They genuinely went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time, making us feel so at home on the water, and on the island.
The scenery was breathtaking, and we had the perfect balance of relaxation (drinks, snacks and lunch!) and excitement (we spotted sea lions and dolphins, snorkeled, paddle boarded and floated!). Every moment was perfect and we cannot thank the Rafa and Tiff enough for such an extraordinary 4-hours at sea.

A once in a lifetime experience!! I booked the boat for my bachelorette and Raphael and his wife Tiff went above and beyond to make our experience special. Tiff was so on top of offering us drinks, snacks and cleaning up. Raphael knew all the best spots for snorkeling, swimming and dolphin watching. We had a very lucky and transcendental experience seeing hundreds of dolphins! I can't recommend them enough for bachelorette parties, family get togethers, lovers cruises, etc. We will definitely book with them again!
