Yes. The Mauretania comfortably accommodates up to six guests for overnight stays in three private staterooms. Each cabin is well‑appointed with fresh linens and space for personal belongings. Guests can also stay ashore in Avalon and return to the yacht for meals or evening gatherings, creating a flexible and personalized Catalina experience.

Meals and beverages can be arranged in advance for your private Catalina charter. Many guests choose to have breakfast or dinner onboard to enjoy the full yacht experience, while others prefer to dine ashore in Avalon’s seaside restaurants. Menus are customized to your preferences, and all meal service is supplemental to the charter fee.

Absolutely. You’re welcome to bring your own provisions, beverages, or special items for celebration. We simply ask that a steward be on hand to assist with setup, service, and cleanup—ensuring the yacht remains tidy and everyone can relax.

Most Catalina yacht charters anchor or moor in Avalon Harbor, Descanso Bay, or at Two Harbors (the Isthmus)—depending on weather and guest preference. Other scenic coves may be available for private anchorage, subject to conditions and local harbor regulations. Your captain will recommend the most comfortable and beautiful location for your stay.

Once your private boat to Catalina arrives, you and your guests can swim, snorkel, relax on deck, or take one of the yacht’s small boats for tubing, sightseeing, or beach landings. Once ashore, you can explore Avalon’s shops and restaurants, hike island trails, or enjoy beach clubs and guided eco‑tours. Additional water gear and excursions can be arranged upon request.

Catalina Island offers something for every kind of traveler. Explore Avalon by golf cart, take a glass‑bottom boat tour, zipline across the canyon, or snorkel the island’s famous kelp forests. You can also unwind on the beach, enjoy seaside dining, or simply relax on deck with a cocktail as the sun sets. Whether it’s adventure or tranquility you’re after, your private boat to Catalina makes it easy to enjoy both.

Up to six guests may stay overnight aboard the Mauretania. For day trips to Catalina, larger groups can be accommodated comfortably depending on the itinerary. We’ll help you plan for comfort and safety so everyone enjoys the experience.

Pack light, comfortable clothing, swimwear, and warm layers for cool evenings on the water. Soft‑soled shoes are required aboard the yacht to protect the teak decks. Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sense of adventure.

For safety and sanitation reasons, pets are not permitted aboard the Mauretania during Catalina charters. We’re happy to recommend local boarding facilities nearby.

While the island is a year‑round destination, the best time for smooth seas and warm weather on a private boat to Catalina is typically late spring through early fall. The Mauretania operates year‑round, and winter trips can be especially peaceful for guests seeking quiet coves and fewer crowds.
