Lot’ A Fun Catamaran Charters in Dana Point
Lot’ A Fun is a 50-foot catamaran built by Cooper Marine in Florida and added to the Dana Wharf fleet in 2018. It takes up to 45 passengers and is wheelchair accessible.
Its single deck gives unobstructed 360-degree views, with covered and open-air seating throughout, and the bow seating faces the ocean so guests sit right at the front. The catamaran is a stable platform for ocean travel.
The boat is wrapped in custom artwork by marine artist Wyland showing a gray whale and her calf, a tribute to the species that inspired Dana Wharf’s whale watching trips when Captain Don Hansen started them.
