    Caution: Meet here but don't park here unless you have a watercraft trailer.
    Amber H.

    My experience, some logistics, and a warning (about parking). Experience: This was my 1st time jet skiing and overall I had a blast! It was not my friend's 1st time but she had an awesome time as well. I had initially reached out on Yelp to ask some questions and Bryan was easy to communicate with and quick in response. After meeting up, Bryan was very thorough in his instructions and it was all easy to follow. He answered my questions (about worst case scenarios: jet ski flipping over, how to get back on if you fall in the water, etc) before I even needed to ask them! The jet skis we were on could reach a bit over 40 mph, but I found that my happy speed after getting used to it was around 25 mph, 30 for more thrill, and I came close to 40 a few times by accident but it was still fun! Getting my balance and steering took a little getting used to, maintaining and decreasing speed were my problems. Not hard at all to learn, just needed getting used to! Logistics: We met at South Shore Launch Ramp. The jet skis were brought in by trailer, they're not already there at a dock. Bryan went over safety, rules, and how to operate the jet skis. My friend and I got our life jackets, then got on the skis, and off we went! Took us about 7-10 min to get through the 5mph zone one-way, so keep that in mind. Warning: So, the only con of the whole experience is that I ended up getting a parking citation. You meet up at South Shore Launch Ramp but you're not actually allowed to park there unless you have a watercraft trailer. I read what it said on the sign, but misunderstood it. So we paid the daily rate of $12 only to end up with a $69 citation on top of it... and still not knowing where we CAN park. Residence Inn next door only allows hotel guests in their parking lot. There's a Hotel Maya further down and the Queen Mary at the end, but I have no idea if you can park there or not. We even asked the officer who cited us where we're allowed to park then, the officer got defensive at first saying she was just doing her job until my friend calmed her down and said that we just wanted to know where we're allowed to park. The officer didn't know either. So! If anyone figures out the parking situation, please inform the rest of us. Otherwise, it seems like the only solution is to be a hotel guest or be prepared to pay a citation fee... Other than the damper at the end with the citation, our overall experience was smooth and we had a blast! I even saw a sea lion pop it's face out briefly! No one fell in or got injured, but I'll definitely be sore from using muscles I didn't think I'd be using haha.

    My family and I were very pleased with the experience and the service that was provided. Bryan was very nice and helpful, I would definitely recommend booking with him !

    This was my first time jet skiing for my birthday. I was really nervous, but the owner was very patient, made me feel comfortable, and gave excellent customer service. I highly recommend booking with him. Thank you soo much for the experience!

    This was a memorable experience, the booking process was very easy, and customer service was amazing. They explained to us how to operate and worst case scenarios. This is not my first time jet skiing, I was worried it might be too heavy for me to maneuver, but it was super light and easy to ride. Overall it was a great experience

    I honestly cannot say enough good things about the guides at Jetski2Catalina. From the moment we…read morestarted, they were incredibly positive, supportive, and attentive. I felt completely safe and genuinely taken care of under their watch the entire time. They handled a large group with ease, and remained attentive to everyone's safety. When there were a few more rambunctious personalities in the group, they handled those situations effortlessly while still keeping the experience fun for everyone. I was continually impressed by how aware they were of everything happening around us. What really pulled at my heartstrings was what happened toward the end of our trip. During the last 45 minutes or so, the guides received word about a pod of bottlenose dolphins, and they went out of their way to make sure we got to see them. When we did...I cried. It was absolutely majestic and one of those moments I'll never forget. I'm sure these guides have seen thousands of dolphins. It's probably something they encounter regularly as part of their job, but what struck me most was how genuinely excited they were for US to see them. They could have easily treated it like, "Yep, there's another pod of dolphins," and moved on. Instead, they were just as enthusiastic about us experiencing it as we were. That really stayed with me. It showed me that they don't just do this job, they care about the experience they're giving people. They haven't become so accustomed to these incredible things that they've lost the excitement of sharing them with someone experiencing them for the first time. I appreciated that more than I can put into words. One more thing I really want to say... I did this entire excursion by myself. I have plenty of friends, but for one reason or another, nobody was able to join me. Some were nervous, some had previous injuries, and some just couldn't make it work. I almost let that stop me. I'm SO glad I didn't. If you're waiting for someone else to be available, waiting for a friend to feel brave enough, or waiting for the "right" person to go with you, just go. You could be missing out on something absolutely incredible while waiting for someone else's schedule, comfort level, or circumstances to line up with yours. I went alone and never once felt alone. The guides made me feel safe, supported, and included from beginning to end. The Catalina experience itself was incredible, but the guides are what made it unforgettable. And seeing those dolphins while watching the guides get excited for us to experience it...that's a memory I'll carry with me for a very long time. 10/10 experience. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

They were professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. They took an incredible adventure and made it even better. Before our trip, I spent a lot of time reading reviews trying to figure out what was actually worth bringing. Here's what I found compared to my own experience: The most commonly recommended items were sunscreen, gloves, water shoes, and goggles. I completely agree. We brought all of them just in case and ended up using everything except the goggles. I wear contacts and expected the ocean spray to be an issue, but it never bothered me. That said, I'd still recommend bringing goggles, you may appreciate having them depending on the conditions. I also saw quite a few reviews mentioning the smell of the wetsuits. Honestly, ours weren't bad at all. We wore them on the ride over to Catalina, and on the return trip they weren't required. If you do wear one, I'd recommend leaving the top half down around your waist when you're not in the water. It gives you a little extra padding on the seat while still keeping you comfortable. The ride to Catalina was smooth, and we were able to really open the skis up and enjoy the speed. The ride back was a little choppier, making it more technical to navigate, but it was still an absolute blast. The jet skis are also surprisingly practical. There are two storage compartments: one large enough to hold two or three full-size backpacks, and a second waterproof compartment that's perfect for your phone, chapstick, wallet, or other small essentials while keeping everything easily accessible. We made three scenic stops on the way to Catalina, which gave everyone a chance to rest, take photos, and enjoy the views. The highlight of the trip, though, was the wildlife. We rode alongside a massive pod of dolphins, and it was one of the most breathtaking experiences I've ever had. Being out in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by dolphins in their natural habitat, is something I'll never forget. We also saw seals, which made the experience even more special. I can't recommend this adventure enough. It's more than just a jet ski ride, it's a true ocean adventure and an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. If you're considering it, book it. You won't regret it.

And they're phasing out their most powerful boat, the 75hp, because of too much abuse and the associated high insurance costs. But they still offer the 40hp boat and that has plenty of power, with a top speed of about 20 knots. It comfortably seats 4 people in designated seats, but can fit an extra two people sitting up front sideways on bench seating. I had a great time. I saw seals sunbathing on the buoys, and I even saw dolphins near the first oil rig island by the Queen Mary ship. Of course you can also get a nice close-up view of the Queen Mary itself. You're allowed to go almost to the Seal Beach Municipal Pier, but not quite. 1hr duration is enough if you want to do a quick single lap of the designated ocean area. 2hrs is highly recommend if you want to take your time and not be rushed. Be sure to bring a light jacket, hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the wind and sun. The designated driver is not allowed to drink. I'm not sure if the rest of the guests are allowed to drink. Park near the Yard House restaurant and then walk to the back of the restaurant and you'll see the little hut with the staff in it. If nobody is there then look over the edge to the docked boats because the staff might be down there instead.

Definitely booking another trip soon!…read more The booking process was a breeze and the marina was conveniently accessible from the parking lot at the Hotel Maya. We were quickly checked in (make sure you arrive early), suited with our gear, and briefed on the plan for the day. Renting gear from Jetski Fishing was perfect because we didn't have to haul extra stuff to/from the parking lot. Our guide was very knowledgeable about fishing locations and provided great guidance throughout the trip. We hooked some keeper sand bass within the first hour. After 15 minutes or so of inactivity, our guide had us start up the jetskis and we rode at 40 - 50 mph to our next location (you don't have to go that fast, but when in Rome...). Our group fished around a couple of spots at the second location, but the catches had to be released due to species restrictions. We then bolted to our last fishing location where I hooked on to a thresher that snapped my line. And just like that - our trip went way too fast! Some recommendations: - Read the info email from Jetski Fishing after you confirm your trip (everything you need to know is in it) - Bring sunglasses (because the future's bright), sunblock, snacks, and drinks - Bring a fully charged phone, connect to the Bluetooth speakers, and play some tunes (fellow AT&T users: I was at one service bar most of the trip, so I wasn't able to stream itunes or Pandora) - There is plenty of storage space for a backpack, jacket, and small soft cooler - Take advantage of the 'filet your catch' option - Don't forget your GoPro (the views and marine life are incredible) Catch some 'Fresh Ones' and tip your guide!
