Shared vs Private Shuttle Santa Catalina

Travelers often ask whether to book a shared shuttle or private transportation from Santa Catalina. The right choice depends on your budget, group size, luggage and how fixed your schedule is.

Shared shuttle

You share the vehicle with other passengers on published departures. Per-person pricing is shown in the quote tool when available. Best for solo travelers or couples on a budget who can align with published times.

Private transportation

The vehicle is yours for the trip. Better for families, groups with surfboards or anyone needing a custom pickup time. Quote private options when shared departures do not match your plan.
