Boat service between O.C., Catalina continues

AVALON, Calif. The /*Catalina Flyer*/ feared it would have to shut down for several months in order to install a new engine to comply with state environmental laws.

However, operators were able to find a replacement boat.

It's much smaller, so reservations will be necessary on the popular catamaran which makes daily trips to the island.

Other companies serve /*Catalina*/ from /*Marina del Rey*/, /*San Pedro*/, /*Long Beach*/, /*Dana Point*/ and /*San Diego*/.
