About Wet Spot Rentals
Wet Spot Rentals has been Catalina Island's go-to waterfront outfitter since 1991, operating from the Avalon Boat Landing with a full fleet of single and tandem ocean kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and snorkel gear. Their guided kayak and snorkel tours paddle out to Lover's Cove Marine Preserve, where crystal-clear waters reveal kelp forests, bright-orange Garibaldi, bat rays, and the occasional moray eel just feet below the surface. Walk-up rentals are available daily from March through October, making it easy to grab a board or kayak for a self-guided exploration of Avalon's coastline.
Their signature offering is the guided kayak adventure, which includes all equipment, a life vest, paddle instruction, and a fish-feeding experience at Lover's Cove. For campers heading to Little Harbor or Two Harbors, Wet Spot also arranges gear transport and can outfit multi-day coastal camping trips with kayak and snorkel packages. Stand-up paddleboard rentals come with a quick orientation, and the calm waters of Avalon Harbor make it an ideal spot for beginners.
What sets Wet Spot apart is over three decades of local expertise and their unbeatable location right at the boat landing — you can be on the water within minutes of stepping off the Catalina Express. Their friendly, laid-back crew knows every cove, reef, and current around the island, and they're happy to share insider tips on the best snorkelling spots and hidden beaches that most day-trippers never find.
