What a fun experience!…read more This was my first time renting a motorboat and pedal boat from Catalina. The process was smooth and instructions were clear. My friends and I did 1 hour for both activities, but I highly recommend doing 2 hours for the motorboat. For the pedal boat, you're only allowed to stay in the area where all the boats are so if you're looking to go further, rent a kayak or motorboat. You're allowed to go further out with the motorboat and with one hour, we were able to explore a bit of both sides of the island. If you'd like to explore further, definitely add more hours.

**RACIST ESTABLISHMENT - AVOID GOING HERE IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR**…read more I am writing this to warn other people of color about the unacceptable treatment we experienced here when my sister and I rented a pedal boat. After our hour was up and we pulled into the dock, the male staff member on the dock looked directly at us and yelled "chinita" several times to make sure we heard him. To make matters worse, when telling me to drop off my life jacket, he slammed his hand against the bin and aggressively yelled at me to throw it in there. Shouting racial descriptors repeatedly at paying customers and acting physically aggressive is threatening and completely unacceptable. It made us feel incredibly unsafe and we don't intend to bring our business here again. I'd look into alternative rental options on the island instead like Wet Spot Rentals by the boat terminal, unless you appreciate being harassed for being a person of color.

Taking a boat tour to see the flying fish of Catalina is a must when visiting the island…read more Afishionados is not only the best pun ever but a great boat your company as my friend and I really enjoyed our evening ride with captain john during my last visit to Catalina. The rides are around $35-40 and the only way to see these famous fish which literally Hop and skip above the waves in the early evening as the sky falls. They do a 50 percent discount on your birthday which I hope to take advantage of soon when I return.

Flying fish tour!!!…read more I was so against doing this at first. My friend talked me into it since our kayaking tour was canceled due to high wind =(. I am so glad we went though. There are two flying fish tours available on the whole island. This one I went on was $45 per person. That's $10 more than the other location. On our tour, we got the chance to see the our flying fish tour and I am sooooo glad we went on this one inside. Our captain was an awesome friendly guy named Lance. He was very knowledgeable and stopped our catamaran at the best places for us to watch the flying fish. They gave us strong flash lights that we can shine into the water to attract and see the fish. We ended up seeing sea lions, various sea creatures and a ton of the fishing fish. We also got to see the beautiful starry sky. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend. As for the other tour boat... it was funny seeing them zip quickly by. They don't even stop their tour to let you see the fish. They also didn't give out flash lights. They had a "main" light that would just scan the ocean. It was funny a pretty sight. We bought tickets at the Afishinado store. It was definitely worth the price. We also brought our own flash lights which I recommend.

For fishing the cost is $165 per hour + $10 per hour for each additional person. For trolling he…read moreonly allows you to let three lines out at a time so that the lines don't tangle. He was kind enough to cut up some of the fish that we caught for sashimi which we ate on the boat with some soy sauce. Our total cost was $615 plus tip. He also does Spearfishing charters and he's very knowledgeable as he works for the Harbor Patrol during the evening shifts he's off on Monday Tuesdays so he's probably available on those days. For evening charters we took our charter from 8-11am. Many of the other charters, I called were $300 to 600 per hour. He's also got iPhone™-compatible stereo system, a VHF for weather reports and communication, a DVD flat screen system, flybridge, a swim step, a cooler, a freshwater wash down, a large bait tank, rod holders, outriggers, a stinger, a radar, and a fish finder. All bait, tackle, ice, and drinks and fish cleaning provided. Sightseeing $250 per Hour for up to Six People Ice and drinks are provided. Snorkeling $250 per Hour for up to Six People Ice and drinks are provided.

Awesome boat. Awesome crew…read more Headed to Catalina this past weekend and decided to jump on a charter for a shot at a yellowtail or White Seabass. First off the boat, Corsario, is a really nice platform to fish from - wide, stable and handles great. Captain Roger worked hard to get me into the fish and I caught two nice yellowtails when no other boats had a single bent rod. That man has been fishing Catalina Island for 50 years and knows every inch of the island. I've been an avid fisherman for 30 years now and I can tell you that this is my go to charter boat from now on when I fish Catalina. Tight lines, Chuck
