What To Expect

Glow Boat Night Rides in San Diego Bay – A Unique Experience for Couples and Families!

Discover one of the most unforgettable things to do in San Diego at night with a Glow Boat ride through the peaceful waters of San Diego Bay. Whether you’re planning a romantic date, a family outing, or a fun night with friends, this one-of-a-kind water experience offers stunning views of the Downtown skyline as you pedal, relax, and enjoy your favorite music.

Each boat is private — just you and your group — but you’ll still be part of a small group on the water, with two dedicated safety boats nearby to keep everything smooth and safe. While this is not a narrated tour, our crew is always nearby to guide the route and help you stay on course for the best nighttime views.

Please arrive 15–20 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in. Our friendly team will welcome you at the dock, provide life jackets, give a brief safety overview, and show you how to operate your boat.

Your ride includes:
• A 15-minute cruise out through America’s Cup Harbor
• 30 minutes to drift, explore, or vibe with music under the stars with the Downtown views
• A 15-minute pedal back to the dock

Every Glow Boat comes equipped with:
• A Bluetooth speaker to play your music
• Colorful neon lights for a stunning glow
• Cozy blankets for the evening breeze
• A fun character name to make your boat extra special

The maximum capacity of our pedal boats is 3 adults and 1 little kid (4-5 years old). Two adults and two kids will be a perfect combination for our adventure!

If you have 4 adults, your group needs to rent 2 boats!

Dog friendly. Reservation required.

Book now for a glowing, unforgettable night on the water!

We run Glow Boat every day during the summer and on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the winter time (limited availability published on Viator/TripAdvisor/Groupon. Check full availability directly on our website).
