/24-7PressRelease/ - MARINA DEL REY, CA, August 13, 2007 - Pack up your bathing suit, sunscreen and all the necessary summer gear and get ready for the ride of your life! Take a quick boat ride to Catalina Island for a day or weekend excursion on Catalina Adventure, Pacific Adventure Cruises newest high-speed catamaran providing service from Marina del Rey to Avalon, Catalina Island. Offering multiple and daily round-trip departures during high season, Catalina Adventure will be open to the public July 22, 2007.
Located just 8 minutes from LAX, and a short ride from West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, Catalina Adventure is the convenient choice for visitors to Los Angeles. With the latest in technology, this "HYSUCAT" hydrofoil-assisted catamaran features comfortable seating (reclining and lounge seating), panoramic views, a sun deck with shade and sun seating, and private lounge behind the helm that seats about 20 passengers with it's own wet bar, fridge and restroom. Passengers can enjoy snacks and refreshments while viewing a huge flat screen TV that will feed a GPS navigation map located at the Navigator Bar.
"We are excited to provide a much needed service for people who want to travel to Catalina Island," said Ken Lawrence, partner of Pacific Adventure Cruises. "Residents in Ventura, Pasadena, Inland Empire and other cities outside of L.A. now have a closer option of traveling to Catalina as opposed to other ports which are farther in distance to those residents."
Produced by Geo Shipyard, Inc. located in New Iberia, Louisiana, Catalina Adventure is a 19.79m catamaran that seats 149 passengers. Powered by Twin Cat C32 Caterpillar mains and a Northern Lights generator, making it one of the fastest vessels from Marina del Rey to Catalina.
"The HYSUCAT was designed for fuel efficiency and utilizes less horse power," said David Le Comp, Director of Geo-Cat Shipyard Inc. "The ride of this catamaran is more comfortable for passengers than the typical catamarans that are being used out there."
