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.

The boat was super cool. It was glowing and had a speaker so we could listen to music. The staff was amazing and very friendly. They gave us a blanket and allowed my pup to come along. I highly recommend them.

Romantic float enjoying the water and city lights. Beautiful evening enjoyed with my girlfriend. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Enjoyed a wonderful fish and chips dinner steps away from their location.
Highly recommend. Also great for families and kids.

This was a great evening pedal boat ride and I would highly recommend!! We opted to do a regular pedal boat (not electric) and my teenagers got a great workout pedaling out to the bay. They have a Bluetooth speaker on every boat so we could enjoy some music as well. Blankets were provided for cooler temps.
This is a well run experience and is very family friendly, especially for young adults.

10/10 absolutely recommend and would do again.
Enjoyed the city views, the fun boat lights, being out there with others. Being able to play your own music was great too! Since it’s a pedal boat, it’s really easy to use just make sure you’re comfortable and adjust your seat before leaving the dock!
The pedal boats have names on them, which was really fun! We’d pass by others and let them know their boat name 😹 Shark Daddy, Starfish, and Cotton Candy were our favorites. Hope everyone had a great time!

We had a great experience! We came out last minute for my daughter’s 15th birthday and they completely impressed her with the birthday sign and the lights and exciting special occasion! We had a great time and it was something special for sure! The lights on the bay at night are absolutely beautiful and the cost is so competitive there’s no reason to say nos!

The crew was so nice and had convenient directions and blankets at our arrival. It was chilly so it was definitely something specially planned out. Many photo ops for family, couples, and kids can enjoy. Clear communication and plenty of time to enjoy on the water! They also provided a speaker we could use for free. 10/10 would recommend !

Was super fun! Super pretty view of the city and a good way to spend some quality time with a significant other, friends, and or family. Also had a speaker you could connect to so you can listen to tunes. Be prepared for a leg workout lol but super worth it in the end.

Had a great time, the crew was very welcoming and helpful. I would have upgraded to the electric boat if I knew that was an option as I’m pregnant but it was doable as I am 6 months! Highly recommend!

The pedal boat attendants are super friendly and create a welcoming environment for first timers. They guide you to another dock with beautiful skyline views of Downtown San Diego where you spend most of your time pedaling. You provide your own vibes by connecting your phone to play music on a bluetooth speaker.
To add, my pregnant friend had to use the bathroom during the time at the dock and Brandon and the team was so kind to guide her to the nearest bathroom. Thank you everyone! 10/10 highly recommend!

Ron_M, Feb 2026
Do not do this activity if your partner or child is pregnant. My own fault for not thinking it through. But it is a workout to say the least. And we got tired and could not do the activity. I would love to try it again but I would definitely rent the electric boat instead, unless you are up for a physical challenge. The night scenery of the city’s harbor was amazing! And the staff was super friendly, fun and knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Ron, thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. You’re absolutely right — depending on comfort level and group dynamics, an electric boat can be a great alternative. We’re happy to offer on-site upgrades to electric boats when availability allows.
We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff and the harbor views, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon. 💙
