On three different occasions in the last few years, I've ridden a jet-ski to Catalina and back, from Newport Beach. What a frikken blast!!! Particularly on a weekend with lots of boats out, you can zoom around, visit other boats, and be free as a bird... Take your VHF, your PFD, and your sunscreen, and JUST DO IT! I lived in Newport for a couple of years and made the trip numerous times in my boat... see no reason why jet skis wouldn't be fun-- don't think I would do it without company, but the pacific was named that for a reason. Next to Maui, the clearest water I've ever seen. |
Re: Who has been to CATALINA ISLAND?
Not to mention the stuff in the water in the deep channel between the mainland and the island. I have seen some pretty big sharks (they actually had some Great White research going on there recently) out there. I don't think I would want to be floating around on a jet ski out there if something broke.
My father in law actually swam to the island from San Pedro, but he is CRAZY!!! |

Bottom line, don't spend your precious vacation time bouncing your azz and breaking your back on a $hitbox jet ski... But rather get to the island the fastest way possible and enjoy it. :drink:
