Boating Info REGULATIONS All moorings are on first-come, first-serve basis. Upon arrival, please stand by the harbor entrance for a mooring assignment from the harbor patrol boat. Avalon is a NO DISCHARGE area. No sewage may be discharged - treated or not. This is strictly enforced. A free Pump-AHead station is located near fuel dock and Casino. Pump out facilities will be available this summer at Two Harbors. Service boats make trash pick-ups free of charge daily during the summer months, and in Avalon on weekends in winter months. Recycling is mandatory. Trash must be separated by glass, aluminum and plastic from other trash. To ensure a peaceful coexistence, all generators must be secured from 10 pm to 7 am. 24 TRANSPORTATION O n l y a n H o u r A w a y Fr o m I S L A N D TIME Getting to Catalina Island is fast, fun, and easy! You can be on the island in as little as 15 minutes via helicopter or one hour by boat. First pick which port is most convenient for you. Several boat companies provide service to Catalina Island with departures from six ports in five cities along the Southern California coast. Fisherman’s Village in Marina del Rey is the farthest northern port along the coast. Heading south, Catalina Island departure points include San Pedro, Long Beach’s downtown Catalina Landing and Queen Mary port, Newport Beach’s historic Balboa Pavilion, and Dana Point, 70 miles north of San Diego. Helicopter service is also available with departures from San Pedro and Long Beach. Then check schedules for that port. Times of departures change seasonally so check with the carrier. Once you’ve arrived on the Island, the town of Avalon is only a short walk away, or taxis greet every boat and can take you wherever you need to go. The anchoring area for Avalon is located outside of the breakwater, west of the Casino. Plan on a depth of 150’. At all other locations, you may anchor outside mooring area only. These are not patrolled and you anchor at your own risk. ASSISTANCE Catalina Mooring Service, Two Harbors (VHF Channel 9) 310-510-4253 Avalon Harbor Dept. (24 hour service.
