Frommer's Review

There are only two small boats in this fleet, and the one to ride is the tricked-out, 24-foot RIB (rigid-inflatable boat), similar to the crafts used by Navy SEALS. Capable of cruising at up to 45mph, the RIB is built for speed and comfort -- there's lots of padding and straddle seating up front, and even a surprisingly roomy head (not bad for a 24-ft. boat). Other special features include hot water for showering after a swim and an underwater camera, for those who want to look but not get wet. Trips are unscripted; you can do what you want to do and go wherever you want to go. You can do some rip-roaring wave riding or serene pleasure boating, go whale-watching or night diving, take a booze cruise to bayside restaurants and concerts or camp on a remote Catalina beach -- it's your call.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
