About

We can take up to 15 passengers at a time on all three Coast Guard inspected vessels. Our friendly, experienced crew will assist you throughout your trip. One at a time the crew will assist you in securing your life vest and harness. Once they have launched the chute you will be asked to walk to the back deck of the boat so they can clip you in. You will sail away without ever touching the water. After your hang time in the chute you will be brought back down to the boat. Lift your legs and land on your feet from the same spot you took off from.

Please Note There is a discounted rate for the first flight of the day!

More Info

You can fly with out ever getting wet or you can ask for a thrill and tell them to dip your feet in the water!

Included on the card are 8 commemorative photos of Catalina from the air and the sea.
