Chauffeur Service to Catalina Express at Berth 95

The San Pedro sailing leaves from the Catalina Sea and Air Terminal at Berth 95, where Swinford Street meets Harbor Boulevard, and reaches Avalon in about an hour and fifteen minutes. The first thing to know is which terminal you are going to. The World Cruise Center is a few hundred metres away at Berths 91 to 93, it is much bigger, it is signposted everywhere, and it is not where your boat is. People who have only ever come down here for a cruise arrive at the wrong gate, and the day a sailing time matters is the day that costs you.

Parking at Berth 95 is more forgiving than the Long Beach alternative: the first hour is free and you are allowed in and out, so you can come back to the car during the day. We say that rather than pretend otherwise, because the reason to be driven here was never the parking. It is that Berth 95 sits inside a working port, the ticket window opens an hour before the first boat, and somebody has to solve the signage and the gates at seven in the morning while you are still finding your tickets. A chauffeur takes you to the right terminal, waits for the sailing you booked, and is there when the boat comes back. The price is agreed before you travel and it does not move, with no surge pricing and no meter. CPUC regulated, TCP #45621-A.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, and this is the one worth getting right before you set off. The Catalina Express sails from the Catalina Sea and Air Terminal at Berth 95, at Swinford Street and Harbor Boulevard. The cruise ships leave from the World Cruise Center at Berths 91 to 93, a few hundred metres away at 100 Swinford. They are close enough to be confused and far enough apart to matter with a sailing time to make. Tell us you are going to Catalina and we take you to Berth 95.

About an hour and fifteen minutes from San Pedro, against roughly an hour from Long Beach. Avalon is 22 miles offshore either way. Catalina Express runs up to 30 departures a day across all its ports, year round, so the choice of port is usually about which one you can get to comfortably rather than which boat exists.

Yes, and that is a genuine difference from Long Beach. San Pedro allows in and out access, and the first hour is free. So if you are dropping someone off, or waiting for a returning sailing, you are not paying for a whole day to sit still. We say so plainly because you would find out anyway, and because the reason to be driven here is not the parking.

The ticket window opens an hour before the first boat of the day, and that is the sensible arrival for anyone who still needs to collect tickets or check a bag. Your chauffeur sets the pickup against that rather than against the sailing time, so you are not the party jogging along the quay.

Because the parking was never the whole reason. San Pedro is a working port and Berth 95 sits inside it, so the last mile is signage, gates and a terminal that shares a street with the cruise centre. Being driven means somebody else solves that at seven in the morning, nobody pays for a day of parking, and no car sits at the harbour while you are on an island it cannot reach. Six passengers and six bags fit in the 2026 Cadillac Escalade ESV.

Yes. Give us the group size and the departure and we will put the right number of vehicles at the terminal for it. Catalina Express offers group rates at 20 or more adults, so it is worth asking them when you book the crossing itself. The price is agreed before you travel and it does not move, with no surge pricing and no meter. CPUC regulated, TCP #45621-A.
