"Easy ride to and from Catalina! We spotted dolphins, sea turtles, and whales. They sell coffee, wine, beer, and snacks on board!"

"Nice ferry to Catelina. The ramp onto the boat in Dana Point (and off for the return trip) along with the step to get into the lower cabin could be better accommodated for people with wheelchairs. Having dedicated seating at the door on the side would be nice too as that is where there is space for mobility equipment. Staff were excellent and helpful."

"The reason I give it 4 stars is that the ship needs to be updated. Other than that, everything went well, they left on time and the check in process was very quick and easy. I got the tickets from Dana Point to Avalon and the return. Their website is very easy to navigate. They also give you a ticket for parking your car when you check in, $20/day rate and the parking had security when we arrived which was great. It’s 3 minutes walk back to the port. As you board, they take your luggage to a separate area and you can collect them as you get off the ship. Dogs are welcomed, however I saw them wearing the cover over their nose and mouth, not sure if it’s required. As mentioned above, everything was great except the age of the ship and especially its seats which I’ll show in the photos. And FYI, the tickets were $88 round trip"

"Fast, pleasant, efficient way to get to Avalon. It's a well oiled machine. Price is fair. Reservation system is easy. Parking convenient. Week I wanted to go they showed sold out on website so I called and found out they hold on to a few seats so they don't overbook. Lucky me. Snapped up the last tickets. Good time had by all. Kayak at Descanso club is a bargain and a great way to spend two hours. If you're going to rent a golf cart, make a reservation in advance. Counter is jammed when boats disembark."
