Catalina Island Slow Sailing Cruise

3-day fun and relaxing sailing cruise to Catalina. Enjoy sailing to Catalina, dinner ashore, and anchoring out one night in a cove under the stars.

Santa Catalina Island

For aspiring passage makers and just for fun, this is an easy going trip to the island that’s also great for first timers. Over three days we’ll show you Avalon and have dinner ashore, visit the Isthmus, and anchor out for a night at one of the beautiful coves on the north side.

This is a great opportunity to learn with someone who’s been to where you want to go, and knows what you want to know (see this blog). More experienced hands are welcome, and everyone will gain some experience in these areas…

  • Learn about provisioning for the trip
  • Learn about and participate in the planning the passage
  • Make navigational and sail trim decisions along the way
  • Get a mooring assignment from the Harbor Patrol and venture ashore in the dinghy
  • Get anchoring experience
  • Have dinner under the stars in a beautiful cove, on our own.

*PLEASE NOTE: This is an introductory cruise, not a certification cruise with formal instruction. You will learn a ton just by being there, and if you want to get involved in anchoring, navigating and running the boat, that’ll be perfect. Menu planning and provisioning (except for dinner ashore) is included.

What’s Included:
Cost includes your professional captain, provisions for meals, drinking water, and everything having to do with the boat – safety gear, fuel, dinghy and outboard, and mooring fees if any.

What’s Not Included:
Not included in the trip fee is transportation to and from the marina, hotel stays before, during, or after the trip, meals ashore, or alcohol.

Anchoring Endorsement:
Upon successfully completing the cruise and mastering anchoring, you’ll be eligible for NauticEd’s Anchoring and Mooring Endorsement on your sailing resume and certificate.
