Our trip started at LAX with an Uber ride approx $45 being dropped off at the marina. Capt. Ralph picked us up so we could unload our luggage and dropped us off at a full-size grocery store which was within walking distance to gather provisions. The boat has one large ice cooler top deck and a dorm size fridge with a freezer in the galley. We gathered drinks and food I suggest the individual packets of meat and tuna packets with a loaf of bread or two pending group size. Another note, we bought two bags of ice but I would recommend 3-4 if you really want to ice your stuff!
From there we were off pretty quickly and on our way to Catalina within 30 minutes.
The boat is late 70's early 80's in good condition for its age and you can tell Ralph really loves the water and his ship. The boat had several areas to hang around. We spent our time at the bow where there were two chairs and cushioned bench, there was an outside deck on the back that would sit six and then up in the cockpit another level up another place where you could sit maybe 3-4 on the couch. Inside there are two bedroom areas front and back both with bathrooms and then the kitchen area in the center with a table that would sit guessing 6-8 people.
We found the crew friendly and welcoming our trip went as expected and I would use them again. Thanks Ricky and Ralph
