John was super accommodating and he managed to acquire live squid for us to use for halibut/bass fishing. We caught 3 massive halibut, White Sea bass(wasn't a keeper), and white fish (also threw back). John cleaned our fish and bagged them for us. Amazing trip will definitely come back for yellow tail!

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.

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.

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.
