Convenience and comfort are redefined with Pacific Adventure Cruises' latest fleet addition, the Catalina Adventure. The Catalina Adventure, a high-tech, high-speed luxury catamaran, provides one of the smoothest rides to Catalina Island. The Catalina Adventure is one of the few ferrying operations in Los Angeles that depart for Catalina Island from the extremely LAX-accessible Marina Del Rey.
"We are excited to provide a much needed service for people who want to travel to Catalina Island," said Ken Lawrence, partner of Pacific Adventure Cruises. "Residents in Ventura, Pasadena, Inland Empire and other cities outside of L.A. now have a closer option of traveling to Catalina as opposed to other ports which are farther in distance to those residents."
Produced by Geo Shipyard, Inc. located in New Iberia, Louisiana, the Catalina Adventure is a 19.79m catamaran that seats 149 passengers. Powered by Twin Cat C32 Caterpillar mains and a Northern Lights generator, making it one of the fastest vessels from Marina del Rey to Catalina.
Located just eight minutes from LAX, and a short ride from West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, the Catalina Adventure is the convenient choice for visitors to Los Angeles. With the latest in technology, this "HYSUCAT" hydrofoil-assisted catamaran features comfortable seating (reclining and lounge seating), panoramic views, a sun deck with shade and sun seating, and private lounge behind the helm that seats about 20 passengers with it's own wet bar, fridge and restroom. Passengers can enjoy snacks and refreshments while viewing a huge flat screen TV that will feed a GPS navigation map located at the Navigator Bar.
"The HYSUCAT was designed for fuel efficiency and utilizes less horse power," said David Le Comp, Director of Geo-Cat Shipyard Inc. "The ride of this catamaran is more comfortable for passengers than the typical catamarans that are being used out there."
Catalina Adventure offers multiple and a daily round-trip departure during high season and is available for group and private charter. Located a mere eight minutes from LAX, and a short ride from West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, Catalina Adventure is the fastest and most convenient way to travel to Catalina Island when visiting LA.
