Catalina Express Long Beach Car Service

No. The structure at 330 Golden Shore does not allow in and out access, so once you park you have paid for the whole stay and the car stays where it is until you come back from the island. That is the part people find out at the gate. If you are on a day trip it means you are buying a full day of parking to use the car twice, once each way, which is the case for being dropped off instead.

About an hour, which is the shortest crossing Catalina Express runs from any of its three ports. Avalon is 22 miles offshore. They operate up to 30 departures a day across all ports, year round, so there is usually another sailing if your plans move.

Catalina Landing, 320 Golden Shore, Long Beach CA 90802. We drop you at the landing itself rather than at the parking structure across the way, so you walk to the ticket window and not across a car park with your bags.

That is the question worth asking before you drive down. No car can go to the island at all, so the vehicle has exactly one job: get you to the dock and collect you afterwards. On a day trip you would be paying a full day of parking for a car that sits idle for nine hours and that you cannot get back to in the meantime. Being dropped off removes the parking, the walk and the hunt for a space on a busy sailing morning.

Yes. Give us the sailing you are booked on and we will be at the landing for it. If the boat runs late we track the arrival rather than the clock, and your chauffeur waits. Six passengers and six bags fit in the newer Cadillac Escalade ESV or Chevy Suburban, so a family or a group of friends travels in one vehicle.

Yes, and Catalina Express offers group rates at 20 or more adults, so it is worth asking them when you book the crossing. On our side, tell us the group size and the sailing time and we will put the right number of vehicles at the landing for it. You get a flat quote before the sailing and that is what you pay, with no surge pricing and no meter. CPUC regulated, TCP #45621-A.

Yes. Curbside Rides is a licensed black car and chauffeur service, TCP #45621-A. Every ride is pre-booked with a professional chauffeur, and your driver and car are confirmed the night before.
