Amazing experience from... - Amazing experience from the team and pilot taking care of us. We had such a great trip to Catalina. Our pilot spotted a pod of 100 dolphins and circled to allow us to see them.

Flight experience great! - booking agent experience is less then great.. - We have flown multiple times before when it was IEX. We flew round trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island and it was great. But Maverick has since taken over the company. While trying to book online I did come across a generic line item for "fees" that was almost $300 for 4 passengers. This was not the FET tax just a separate line item. I reached out to an online agent but she didn't seem to understand what I was asking. She kept telling me the passenger seat cost varied depending on demand and day. Totally understand but that was not what I was asking. I think we went back and forth with her repeating the same information for about 5 minutes before I literally listed out line by line all the costs. This was very frustrating. Finally she was able to say that this was an island fee and there was some sort of California fee. This was all I wanted to know. I tried to explain that customers want to know what these fees are, especially when it is almost $300 extra in addition to your total costs and that they should include that info (the same way airlines do). She basically told me that I don't have to make the purchase if I don't want to. What? So anyway if you book and you want to know what the fees are they are basically island fees.
