WOW! WHAT AN AMAZING ADVENTURE! Five friends and I had the best time on Captain Ralph’s boat for a weekend trip to Catalina. We left early Friday morning and got to Avalon by the afternoon. We spent our first day fishing, paddle boarding, floating around in the 6-person island floatie, eating dinner in Avalon, and playing games by the fire pit. I’ve never seen a boat with a fire pit before! Pro tip: bring stuff for s’mores. Our second day, we made the trip from Avalon to Two Harbors, making various fishing and snorkeling stops along the way. We even tried spear fishing (with Ralph’s guidance)! We spent the evening dining on land and then once again sitting around the fire pit. The next morning, Ralph was kind enough to help us prepare a few of the fish we caught, so we could try them. And OMG, they were delicious! Nothing like eating fresh fish you caught yourself. We made it back to Long Beach by the afternoon and were all sad to leave. The ship itself is well-equipped with all sorts of fun things to do, and our group slept comfortably in the 2 bedrooms. There are also 2 bathrooms with a shower! I can’t recommend this trip enough and would give it 10 stars if I could. It was an unforgettable experience! Thank you so much, Ralph. You are the best.
