Pontoon Boat Rental San Diego

Our 32ft Double Decker Party Pontoon Boat is the best way to see all of San Diego Bay.

We will cruise past the Point Loma Monument, across the downtown skyline, under the USS Midway, along the Coronado bridge and out to the famous Hotel del Coronado.

With space for up to 13 guests there are plenty of ways to enjoy the water. Dive off the top deck, sunbathe on our floating mat and crack a cold one because we are bringing nothing but the heat here in SD.

The pontoon was epic, jumping off the roof, laying in the sun while bumping our music was the best way to enjoy San Diego.
