The booking process was easy, and I was able to instantly reserve the time & date I wanted online. Checking in was also a breeze, as the boat is conveniently docked outside a hotel that provided valet parking. The boat itself is very clean and had plenty of seating space (both inside & outside) as well as room in the front netting to enjoy ocean views from both side. We brought our own food and drinks to enjoy. We had Captain Ron throughout our excursion who is simply the BEST. You can tell that he has a ton of experience, and even brought us to see pods of dolphins swimming! He expertly navigated us so close to the dolphins, and this experience was the highlight of our weekend.

Lots of video opportunities to capture birds flying across the horizon and water. The bar is a perfect size for 2 bartenders and there's a bathroom next to it. The Ibiza boat looks modern and is clean. I find that the staff are helpful, friendly, attentive, and the kind of workers you appreciate! I do recommend this boat rental!

A friend and I decided to give them a go, and it honestly made an already great day even better. I highly recommend it. It's $13 per adult (kids are less), parking is usually easy to find, and you can enjoy a relaxing lap or two around the beautiful lake. Simple, fun, and such a classic LA experience

Fast forward...I now have sealegs (which you don't need) so I booked a gondola to see the Naples Christmas lights to get a different view. The weekend before, friends and I walked the canal after the Belmont Shore Christmas Parade, so you can imagine the crowds of people going to see the Naples lights. The gondola is a much better way to see the lights. Booking online was simple. I received a confirmation email and in the email was what to expect. If you bring beverages, they provide a cooler/ice bucket with ice and cups. Connor was our gondolier and he was an absolute champ. He paddled through the canal so quickly that we had more time left on our cruise, so he took us out to the bay which was deserted, but peaceful. We had such a great time thanks to Connor! I highly recommend Gondola Getaway. Their staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. It's well worth the $267.50 (pre tip).

We booked a weekend morning tour, and it ended up being one of the most unexpectedly fun things I've done in the city. I was a little nervous at first since I'm not super experienced with kayaking, but the guides were patient and gave clear instructions before we got on the water. Once we started, it felt calm and surprisingly peaceful. We even spotted birds and fish along the way, which I definitely didn't expect in Los Angeles. The whole experience felt safe, well-organized, and relaxed. It's such a cool way to see a different side of the city. I'd absolutely do it again.

If you look that up or really want to raft, take a drive up to Northern California for some excitement- you are able to do Class III, Class IV, or Class V, including an overnight rafting trip. It's not exactly like "A River Wild," but it can be if you're not experienced. I grew up river rafting with my Daddy all the time and have been on more than 300 trips in my lifetime. It's one of my favorite activities, but it's boring and lame in SoCal.

But luckily Captain Anthony (aka The Happy Captain) helped to dispel any of those fears. His 30+ years of sailing experience and instruction got us up to speed quickly on the 38-ft catamaran "Untethered". In addition to sailing, we learned provisioning, how to anchor at mooring balls in Catalina, and spent 4 nights on board. It's hard to express they joy I felt at seeing the dozens of dolphins that joined us one afternoon. The man overboard drills we did offshore of Marina Del Rey were also memorable. We brought our own Starlink terminal and were able to familiarize ourselves with some of the navigation and weather apps. Ruth in the office made sure all of our logistics went smoothly. We had signed up a few months prior, with a promo offered during the 2025 Newport Boat Show. Big thanks to the team at Blue Pacific. Highly recommend!
