What To Expect

When it’s time to take advantage of your boat rental, head down to Emerson Street in San Diego to check in. You may want to come about twenty minutes before your time to make sure you find parking as the area is a tourist area and can be quite busy.

After you check in to get your pedal boat or glow boat, get ready for a fun adventure on the water. Each boat can hold up to three adults and one small child or two adults and two kids, making it a great pick for families or couples. Because this is a rental, how you spend your self-guided time on the water is up to you. The rental crew explains how to use the boat and gives some safety tips before you go.

On the water, take in sights of San Diego from a different perspective than on land. If you booked the glow boat, it’s illuminated 360 degrees inside and outside, and it features a speaker and a disco ball.

After your cruise, come back to the original meeting spot.

This was such a fun experience, Cesar and the crew were very sweet and make this experience so much fun! They give you fresh blankets and a Bluetooth speaker to enjoy on your trip with your plus one. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed something so different, definitely felt like a work out on the legs lol but the city lights of San Diego made it all so romantic. We will definitely be doing it again. Thank you guys we love it!

Went on the 8:15 glow boat pedal, got a text a few hours prior of where to park, use bathroom and meet, appreciated. Checked in and walked the dock, loaded up. Our son is 6 and got to pedal and steer!!! Plently of seating for my 5'10 husband on front or back. Thought an hour would be long but was just right. They gave us a blanket, hooked up phone to Bluetooth. Harbor is beautiful, next time would do day trip to hopefully see wildlife.

The experience was really...
Brinda_A, Dec 2024
The experience was really good! Juan and the other instructors were great, and they helped out a bunch! The glow boats were VERY pretty, and if it wouldn't have been foggy, the lights and skyline views would've been majestic. Loved the experience!

Rae_H, Dec 2024
Rented the glow boat for me and my 18tr old daughter. It is December and they even had a little Xmas tree on it! Boat extremely easy to control. Paddling was very easy. The staff was super nice and hilarious, made everything better. The whole experience was a vibe and would definitely do this again!

Exceeded expectations
Monique_O, Dec 2024
We were so nervous but excited to try the pedal boats at night. The extremely helpful and kind staff made us feel at ease and welcomed. Also, if you’re anxious about weight or the physicality of the pedal boat it is comfortable (big gal friendly) and the pedaling is moderate. The view we pedal to is worth it!

Josh_N, Nov 2024
Amazing experience! We absolutely loved it! My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and Ceasar helped us out and even put cute hearts to decorate our boat! We even saw one that had a birthday decoration. They even supplied blankets if you get cold. Super cool to have your own Bluetooth speaker so you can set the vibes. Beautiful views of the San Diego city lights. Thanks again for a great time!

We had a wonderful night! Simon and the other two members of the guided tour were friendly, helpful and fun! This was a birthday celebration for our mother and she rode like a queen as my sister and I pedaled around. (The blankets provided and assistance in and out of the boat was great)

Vacation
Devon_R, Jun 2024
This very clean and fully stocked place was perfect. My mom, sisters and I had a girls trip and the location was that near the beach and the bay which we made use of both. We did all our cooking indoors and all utensils and appliances we available. As we were in process of booking and during, the host was quick to answer any questions or concerns! SeaWorld lets off fireworks at night and it was a short distance to walk and enjoy. Overall just an amazing experience. Highly recommend
