Newport to Catalina
When Newport becomes too much of ‘the usual’ for you, Catalina is always a beautiful and exciting excursion option. The Catalina Ferry leaves once a day at 9am from the Balboa Pavilion, and arrives in Avalon at 10:15am. With a round trip ticket, the boat leaves Avalon at 4:30pm and arrives at the Balboa Pavilion at 5:45pm. The Catalina Flyer is the largest passenger-carrying catamaran on the West Coast, featuring a richly designed interior, sweeping sun decks, and full-service cocktail lounges. Whether you want comfort, service, and a friendly crew or just want to work on your tan, this ferry is your choice. It’s a really fun way to get to the island. Enjoy your trip!
