About this Experience
What you'll do: Board a private boat in Long Beach's Rainbow Harbor and spend two hours cruising past the city's most recognizable waterfront landmarks.
Depart Rainbow Harbor – Set off past Shoreline Village, the Aquatic Park Lighthouse, and the Queen Mary as your captain heads toward open water.
Cruise Past the Astronaut Islands – Get an up-close look at Island White and the string of man-made islands along the Long Beach coastline.
Float Along Alamitos Beach – Slow down and take in the coastline as you drift past Alamitos Beach.
Pass Belmont Shore – Continue along the water with sightlines to the Belmont Shore neighborhood and pier.
Take Over the Sound System – Connect your phone via Bluetooth or pull up Spotify to set the soundtrack for your group.
Two hours on the water, one continuous stretch of Long Beach coastline, and a boat built for your group to take over.
Why we love it for your party:
Bluetooth & Spotify Sound System – Guests control the music the entire trip, no aux cord required.
LED Lighting – Sets the mood for a party boat cruise, day or night.
On-Board Karaoke – Turns the ride into an activity, not just a scenic tour.
Free Starlink Wi-Fi – Guests stay connected for photos, videos, and posting in real time.
Private Charter for Your Group – The boat is booked exclusively for your party, not shared with other passengers.
About this experience partner: The Island Hook operates private party boat cruises out of Long Beach's Rainbow Harbor, taking groups along the city's landmark waterfront instead of the open-ocean routes typical of most local charters. The crew built the boat around group celebrations, with a full sound system, LED lighting, and karaoke on board rather than a standard sightseeing setup. Guests looking for a Long Beach party boat experience rather than a traditional whale-watching or fishing trip choose The Island Hook for its on-board party features and central harbor departure point.
