Sail to Catalina Island
aboard Mayflower

The perfect getaway is only 30 miles away off the Los Angeles coast: Catalina Island. Sail away on our eclectic and classic sailing yacht, Mayflower – a small tall ship reminiscent of a pirate ship. Step on board and let your stress wash away with the waves as you feel the wind take hold of the sails.

 

Catalina Island is a hidden gem along the west coast. As you approach the island, you’ll be whisked away by Catalina’s breathtaking views and its similar appearance to a European or Greek waterfront town.

Avalon

Avalon is the main attraction of Catalina Island, with only 4,000 year-round residents occupying the island. Avalon is Catalina’s largest town, with the most restaurants, shops, and activities to explore.

Two harbor

Two Harbors

Two Harbors, also known as “Isthmus,” is the only other “city” on the island, with only 150 permanent residents enjoying this small town separated from the hustle and bustle of city life. Two Harbors is a much smaller town, with only one restaurant, bar, and hotel for tourists to enjoy. However, if you are looking for peace, serenity, and stunning nature, Two Harbors is the place to be. Resembling a quaint beach town in the Caribbean, Two Harbors is sure to please anyone looking to relax and get away from it all.
