San Diego Bay Bash: Self-Drive Pontoon for Birthdays, Bachelorettes & Boujee Besties

About this experience

What you’ll do:

Ready to drive your own party boat? Take the wheel of our 7-passenger Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon and explore San Diego Bay on your terms. After a quick confidence check and area training, you’ll be off on a private cruise with your crew, your playlist, and your good vibes. With plush seating, Bluetooth sound, and a bimini top for shade, this self-driven pontoon is the perfect way to float, vibe, and celebrate.

Whether it’s a birthday bash, a girls' day out, or just a “because we can” moment—this is your chance to captain the celebration and create unforgettable moments on the water. Pets are welcome, snacks and drinks are BYO, and the whole bay is your playground.

Just show up, bring your crew and cooler, and get ready to drive the vibe.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Bluetooth sound system (You run the aux = you run the vibes)

  • Bimini shade top (Sip in the shade or toast in the sun—your choice)

  • Pet-friendly (Because your furry bestie deserves boat day too)

  • No license needed (We train you + cheer you on—first-timers welcome!)

  • Coolers welcome (BYO drinks & snacks = full control of the vibe)
