Can we roll a canoe/scull from Long beach to Santa Catalina Island?

Question

if so.. where can we rent a scull/canoe? And how much does it cost?

Answer 1

I takes an hour and a half, full out in a power boat.So this is a bad idea.

Answer 2

i dont see why not...  need a canoe??   look around if a summer camp will rent you one..  

Answer 3

I don't think so, unless you're some sort of Olympic athlete. It's over 26 miles, and it's too choppy for a scull. A canoe might make it, but you'd probably swamp.

Answer 4

No you can't canoe from Long Beach to Catalina.  Its 27 miles of open ocean.  Take the Catalina Express then rent a kayak in Two Harbors or somewhere along the isthmus.  Avalon is always super crowded.

Answer 5

The native Americans did it.  But it was a hugh canoe with 12 to 20 folks rowing it.   I do not think you can rent a canoe to makethe 20 or so mile trip in rough seas.

Answer 6

Most places just rent kayaks and it is per hour. They aren't sea worthy enough to go on a trip like that.

The place below rents kayaks. Call them and ask if they know of a canoe rental.

Your problem is going to be the fact that you will not be able to row back before the business closes for the evening.
