What type of boat is used for this tour? C-STAR is a 24-foot, Coast Guard-inspected, center console boat that has been specially modified to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers on coastline tours. She has ample seating at the front and rear as well as numerous hand rails to hold onto while you are gazing over the side at the dolphins playing in the bow wake. She has a brand new Yamaha outboard motor that boasts EPA “Ultra Low Emissions” as well as the utmost reliability and quietness. She also has all new seat cushions for comfort and a 9-speaker sound system.

Where does the Ultimate Beach Adventure travel? This 5- to 10-hour Santa Catalina Island adventure takes full advantage of the island’s abundant wildlife and scenic coastline. Our six-passenger boat will take you from Avalon into the Pacific Ocean along the coastline of Santa Catalina Island. Your trusty captain will travel west down the coast to White’s Landing, which is located several miles down Catalina’s rugged coast. This area plays host to two yacht clubs and a youth experience camp called The Catalina Experience – depending on the time of the year the camp may be vacant or in use on any given day.

What to bring and wear: The Ultimate Beach Adventure travels on an open-air boat. A jacket and/or a windbreaker is a must for early mornings and late afternoons.
