San Clemente Island liveaboard recommendations

[nighthawk91]

I have been searching for a Liveaboard that frequents San Clemente Island with no luck. Does anyone have a recommendation? We will be in the Huntington Beach area.

Traveling to the area in April/May 2025 with an open schedule right now that can be tailored to the ships schedule. But need to schedule my vacation time in early February.

Thanks.

Sadly, the So Cal liveaboard fleet has dwindled in the wake of the Conception disaster and new Coast Guard requirements for overnight accommodations.

The only boats I know of that might be doing overnight trips these days are the Bottom Scratcher, Pacific Star and the Peace. The boats should have 2025 schedules firmed up within the next few weeks if they don't already.

April/May is kind of low season for diving (after lobster season and between good winter vis and warm summer water) so many boats tend to schedule their haul out at this time. Hope you can find a boat that is running.
