Just thought of another possibility. I have a friend who loves to fly. He has a small plane and loves to fly to Catalina for lunch. I have seen many of his business friends arrive at his office ready for the flight. They wore suits and pictured themselves flying in a Donald Trump private plane. They left all nice and crisp, and came back all rumpled and sweaty since the plane is a 4-seater and not air-conditioned.
When you land at the Catalina airport, you are on top of a large hill. You must go down the hill by taxi to see Catalina. There is a small snack building at the airport where you can buy Buffalo Burgers, Hotdogs, etc. Even if you don't go down the hill, you get a fantastic flight and you see the Coast.
I'm sure you can check with the small airports like Torrance and Hawthorne to find a private pilot who will fly you to Catalina. In fact, I will check with a pilot friend to see how much it would cost and whom you should call. The same pilot friend can take you up for a glider ride.
