Hey I was wondering how long the trip on a boat ride from Newport would end up taking to Catalina. 2 hours?

If you talking about a 3/4 day party boat like the Freeland or Patriot from Newport it could be anywhere from 2-3 hours depending on which side of catalina they are heading to. Smaller boat's like the Ultra, or the Bongo's fleet and private boats can get their faster. Usually an hour to two hours depending on how fast they are running.

Depends on conditions (weather, water, weights, HP, and location).

I remember years ago going out of Davies Locker and getting to Catalina pretty fast compaired to now a days. The fuel prices are too $$$$$$$ for the boats to go that fast anymore. They just cruse the boat and save on fuel and wear and tear on the motors. Boy , the good old days.
