Paddle along the Coast

See Catalina from a different view point by renting a kayak or stand-up paddle board. This activity lets you venture out further and explore the Island’s rugged coastline while enjoying a great workout. For rental gear, try Wet Spot Rentals located near the Catalina Express ticket window or Descanso Beach Ocean Sports at Descanso Beach Club.

Motor around

Want to see Catalina’s rugged beauty without having to paddle? Rent a motor boat from Joe’s Rent A Boat and zoom around Avalon Harbor. If you get a little warm from the sunshine, just jump right into the sea to cool off. Bring your fishing pole and try to catch a bite in the open ocean.
