Catalina Express provides year-round ferry service between the California mainland and Catalina Island, carrying more than a million passengers annually. It operates up to 30 departures daily from Long Beach, San Pedro, and Dana Point. Founded in 1981 by three Catalina Island residents, the company began with a single 60-passenger vessel and now fields eight high-speed ships, including four catamarans. Its customers are travelers and tourists seeking reliable, time-efficient access to Catalina Island, supporting ongoing tourism and island visitation. In 2025, Rolls-Royce announced a contract to supply the propulsion system for Catalina Express's new high-capacity ferry, reflecting ongoing fleet modernization.
