Register now for the 2026 Catalina Island Men’s Retreat! Our own Robert Covolo will be our retreat speaker this year, bringing us inspiration from the timeless book of Proverbs. His lessons on Wisdom for Godly Masculinity, will give us practical advice for the challenges men face today.

Our retreat includes three days/two nights voyage across the blue Pacific, sleeping under the stars in oceanfront campsites, and savoring the best six meals on the entire island, featuring our head chef Ed Shieh and his crew. Explore Catalina Island. Hike on bluffs over the ocean, mountain bike, kayak, swim, snorkel, relax, take a prayer walk, and make new friends.

Choose from two Friday departures on Catalina Express San Pedro, 8:30 AM or 12:30 PM. Our return will make you feel like a pirate aboard the Official Tall Ship of Los Angeles, Irving Johnson. With 110’ of deck space and 13 massive sails, you will have an unforgettable sail with all your mates. Climb the ratlines to the top of the mast for an unbelievable view! Crawl out on the bowsprit for the next most amazing view! Keep watch for dolphins. Our ship returns to San Pedro on Sunday, 4 PM. You will return refreshed, with more wisdom as godly men, with new mates, and new wind in your sails. Register now! All registrations are due by May 24. All inclusive price for this amazing retreat is $279.00.

Parking is $20/night so each vehicle parked overnight will incur approx $70 - another reason to consider carpooling!

Departure Times: 8:30a, 12:30p
