What our passengers are saying. :)

  • This was a great way to start our weekend in Oceanside for a bachelor party. We brought drinks and snacks for the cruise to relax and hangout before taking on the rest of the weekend. Would definitely recommend.

  • Such a fun time! Captain Adam is a hoot and very accommodating. We loved learning more about Aperitivo, (the Catalina Shore Boat) and how it made its way to Oceanside Harbor. Can't wait to book another cruise!

  • I am so happy we decided to do a Cruise Oceanside Harbor outing. We had so much fun. Would definitely like to bring my pup next time now that I know how dog friendly it is. Bring drinks for happy hour to put in their ice chest. Thanks Captain Adam!

  • We had a memorable evening cruising around Oceanside aboard Aperitivo for a sunset cruise. We cannot wait to plan another trip. Thank you Captain Adam!

  • We had a lovely time cruising Oceanside Harbor with Captain Adam. Aperitivo was so comfortable and relaxing. I think we had the most popular boat on the water! Everyone waved, threw a peace sign or thumbs up as we traversed the water. You can tell Captain Adam really enjoys what he does. I want to take my grandkids and family next time. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!

  • Our girls group had a late May beautiful cruise on Aperitivo. The captain really knows the history of his vessel and it was so interesting to hear about. I can't wait to plan another trip with friends and family aboard Aperitivo!

Meet Aperitivo

Aperitivo is a Marshall 27 shore boat that was originally part of an 11-boat fleet commissioned by the Catalina Company and built in Costa Mesa in the mid-’60s. 

She spent the first 45 years of her life known as shore boat number 6, transporting vacationers and yachtsmen around the Avalon and Two Harbors Bay areas.

At this time, we believe there are only five of these vessels left in operation. One more in San Diego, two in Newport Beach and one in the yard in Avalon. 

A good friend found her on a mooring ball in Avalon, Catalina in May of 2022. After an extensive refit, she will spend the next 45 years serving friends and family in Oceanside Harbor.
