We booked to celebrate a birthday during sunset. We had a very nice experience overall, although…read morethe boat was late and unfortunately we missed the sunset we had planned to see. The staff explained that the delay was due to previous renters returning late. While the situation was disappointing, the staff was very accommodating and allowed us to stay out longer, which we really appreciated. I also requested and received a refund due to the delayed start, and I appreciated the company's willingness to make things right. For anyone planning a sunset rental, I would recommend being aware that this seems to be a particularly busy timeframe and allowing some extra flexibility in your schedule. Despite the delayed start, the staff handled the situation professionally and did their best to make up for the lost time. I would consider renting from them again.

And they're phasing out their most powerful boat, the 75hp, because of too much abuse and the associated high insurance costs. But they still offer the 40hp boat and that has plenty of power, with a top speed of about 20 knots. It comfortably seats 4 people in designated seats, but can fit an extra two people sitting up front sideways on bench seating. I had a great time. I saw seals sunbathing on the buoys, and I even saw dolphins near the first oil rig island by the Queen Mary ship. Of course you can also get a nice close-up view of the Queen Mary itself. You're allowed to go almost to the Seal Beach Municipal Pier, but not quite. 1hr duration is enough if you want to do a quick single lap of the designated ocean area. 2hrs is highly recommend if you want to take your time and not be rushed. Be sure to bring a light jacket, hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the wind and sun. The designated driver is not allowed to drink. I'm not sure if the rest of the guests are allowed to drink. Park near the Yard House restaurant and then walk to the back of the restaurant and you'll see the little hut with the staff in it. If nobody is there then look over the edge to the docked boats because the staff might be down there instead.

My husband and I lost our home in the Altadena Fire a little over a year and a half ago. Even with…read moreeverything we were going through, we still chose to get married on July 26, 2025. Between rebuilding our lives and our home, we simply didn't have the time or money for a honeymoon. When I saw the gondola ride advertised, I thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We made the drive from Rancho Cucamonga, and traffic was horrible. By the time we arrived, we were stressed and running late. From the moment we walked in, the young lady at the front desk (she had blonde hair, and I'm so sorry I forgot your name! ‍) greeted us with the warmest smile. She immediately told me to relax and assured me everything was going to be okay. Then I realized my phone was on only 5%, and I asked if they happened to have a charger. Without hesitation, she handed me a portable charger so I could capture the memories from our very first gondola ride. Our gondolier, Waylon (I hope I'm spelling your name correctly! ), was absolutely amazing. He was kind, professional, and so knowledgeable about the history of the area. He made the experience even more special. At the end of our ride, the sweet young lady surprised me with a beautiful rose. Such a simple gesture meant so much. After the incredibly difficult year and a half we've had, this team completely turned our stressful day around and gave us a first wedding anniversary we'll never forget. Thank you for your kindness, your hospitality, and for reminding us that even the smallest acts of compassion can make the biggest difference.

I will start this review off first with our gondolier was Mason was fantastic! He is ambitious, pleasant, genuine, and so kind! He greeted us and took no time with explaining to use the process and where we were at. He is very knowledgeable and took the absolute best photos capturing important memories. Honestly, he made the gondola ride so much better and memorable! Customer service is the upmost important to me, especially when you are paying for a service or goods. I would definitely come back here and I would request for Mason ahead of time (if he is still there) because he is a Gem and will be going very far in life. The canals are beautiful, the water isn't rocky, very scenic, and the weather was perfect. Such a romantic experience. The company provides ice and cups, but we brought our own. Parking was free! Me and my honey were highly satisfied with the whole experience!

Photo ID is required as well! An hour long ride! Note | I recommend bringing/wearing a hat and/or sunglasses if it's a super hot day! There is a cover on the top of the Swan Boats, which helped shield us from the intense heat on this particular sunny Saturday! Sighting | I nearly passed out when I noticed there was a wedding in progress as we paddled by, so beautiful! We paddled by as quickly as possible as not to disturb their photo moments! The scenery was quite beautiful! The other boats paddled by quickly as well and went to the side to watch from a distance! I bet the boat actually looked quite beautiful in the background in the photographs! Maybe that was their plan all along! Overall | Yes, please! Swan Boat rides are super fun, as well as lots of laughs along the way! Cheers to Pedal power! Haha!

The experience includes a 2 hour rental (extra cost to hire a driver) allowing for a maximum of 10 guests on board. It's $250 for the regular boat and $350 for the pink, and a 15% service fee is imposed. The boat was clean and the ride was extremely comfortable and safe- feeling the breeze on the ocean on a hot day was amazing. They provide you with a safe route and a map to follow with beautiful views, so you don't need to stress about figuring it out. It was also extremely easy to drive despite not having any prior experience, so you really don't need to hire a driver at all. They also have an adorable restaurant that I had no idea about! I definitely need to come back with all my friends and dine in before or after the boat ride.

First time out on this boat, it's getting dark and we realize the lights inside are broken! We are at the furthest spot away from dock and decide to call and see if they can help us figure out how to turn them on. NOPE come to find out, they are broken. Sadly we just deal with it, use and drained our phone battery for some light. The next day I thought to myself, I should call and let the manager know of our experience with this and see if there is something she can do for a future reservation at maybe a discounted rate? Yeah, good luck! By the time LIA calls you back (4 days later) she has a very smart ass customer service attitude and tells me if we were THAT concerned with the lights, we should have driven the boat back to switch it out, and if we didn't, it wasn't that much of a big deal. EXCUSE ME?! Why am I going to waste my 2 hours of time docking it, grabbing all of our items off the boat, switching out to a new boat, just to turn right back around and end up out of time from our reservation? This is a PSA do not rent from this company, go to Newport, they will have boats that actually work properly for the money spent, and hopefully not a LIA you have to deal with!

They also have a key to the bathroom, which is around the corner. Even though we were 20 minutes early, they let us get on the water bike after a quick instruction. Riding on the water bikes was really fun! We rode around the bay and the water was choppy sometimes but as you get inside the bay, the water is calmer. A trick is that if you feel the water is too choppy, start paddling - the water will calm down with the pedaling. There are several boats around which provided live music for us. The bike has two cup holders and a front container to put your phones and small stuff in. We had a great time. They share a parking lot with nearby restaurants which offer 3 hours of free parking. That is a huge plus for something near the beach! We will be back next time to try a glow ride.
