Captain Sebastian was super friendly and a fantastic communicator, making sure we had all the information we needed to make it to the launch ramp on time (directions, parking, etc.). We got lucky and caught a SpaceX launch from the boat, which was surreal to see. We opted for the V-day package which included flowers, chocolates, and balloons and really added to the ambience. Overall it was a magical night, and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique date night.

Check in went smoothly and we had plenty of time to decorate and set up. Carly and Andrew provided excellent customer service. I was so impressed with their above and beyond effort.

Myself and a few friends decided to go kayaking yesterday. We googled "hunting harbor kayaking" and…read morethe harbor boat rental popped up. We were presently surprised at the check in process and friendly staff. We ended up renting 3 single kayaks for 2 hours. Upon check in, the employee offered us use of the restroom and helped us into the kayaks. We were able to cruise around the harbor for 2 hours, which was a good amount of time.

Super fun family experience! Kind, helpful, efficient staff! Would definitely do it again.read more

When we checked in 30 mins early we were met by very friendly staff in the office who quickly verified our registration. I had forgotten to add a Captains hat and extra ice to my reservation but that was no issue for them they happily assisted me with those needs. We were given our paperwork and told exactly where to go to meet the gentleman down on the dock who would assist us in getting to our boat. Down on the dock we met Mets and so glad we did. Although he was working several other groups at the same time he greeted us, assisted us with loading our coolers on the boat and made sure we knew he would be checking on us as we decorated our boat for a surprise birthday. Once our group arrived he took the time to talk to our soon whose birthday it was. He was very thorough in his safety briefing and we felt very comfortable in safely operating the boat. He even pointed out that there were large groups of jellyfish in a certain area and that we should go see them. Once we returned he was standing right on the edge of the dock guiding us in. He asked all about our experience, was very sincere, and even recommended we bring our dogs next time. He is insisted on cleaning up our decorations for us ( though I highly recommend bringing a small trash bag for your trash) I cannot to rent again from London! Mike

We've been taking Harbor Breeze Cruises for many years and have probably been on the Long Beach…read moreHarbor Tour more than a dozen times. Whenever we have family or friends visiting from out of state or overseas, it's one of our favorite activities because it's a relaxing way to see the Port of Long Beach, the Queen Mary, and, if you're lucky, the sea lions. We brought another group yesterday, and everyone enjoyed the tour. The only downside, in my opinion, is the boats used for the harbor tour. Yesterday we were on the Kristina, and in the past we've also been on the Caroline, which we chartered for my mother's ash-scattering ceremony about 14 years ago. Both vessels are showing their age. I also think the marketing could be clearer. The photos on the website and many travel sites prominently feature the newer catamarans, which gives the impression that those are the boats used for the harbor tour. I actually called ahead to ask and learned that the harbor tours use different vessels. While I appreciated getting the correct information, many first-time visitors probably wouldn't think to ask and may expect the newer boats shown in the advertising. The harbor tour itself is still worthwhile, and we'll likely continue bringing our guests because we genuinely enjoy the experience. I just hope Harbor Breeze considers updating or refurbishing the harbor tour vessels and making the marketing a little clearer so guests know exactly what to expect.

Love this place! My very first time renting a boat and the staff were friendly and helpful from…read morestart to finish. The experience includes a 2 hour rental (extra cost to hire a driver) allowing for a maximum of 10 guests on board. It's $250 for the regular boat and $350 for the pink, and a 15% service fee is imposed. The boat was clean and the ride was extremely comfortable and safe- feeling the breeze on the ocean on a hot day was amazing. They provide you with a safe route and a map to follow with beautiful views, so you don't need to stress about figuring it out. It was also extremely easy to drive despite not having any prior experience, so you really don't need to hire a driver at all. They also have an adorable restaurant that I had no idea about! I definitely need to come back with all my friends and dine in before or after the boat ride.

The pink ones are $350 for two hours, but we went with the blue one for $250. Pretty reasonably priced if you go with about 10 people, which fit comfortably. The table on our duffy was a bit wobbly and the motor was pretty slow. Full throttle was about 3 miles an hour. At least we felt safe driving it around Naples. We brought plenty of snacks and drinks. The Bluetooth connection worked fine but the speakers were a little blown. Despite the condition of the duffy, we still had a blast. The staff was very nice checking us in, getting us started and parking the duffy. I'd totally do this again!

The event was very well organized and all the wait staff were on point. One gentleman Javier found me a split of non-alcoholic champagne which was delicious. The buffet was probably the best buffet I've had in a long time. It's hard to feed a couple hundred guests and still maintain good food quality. They succeeded! Asparagus, chicken, salmon, pasta, green and Caprese salads. And desserts were terrific: cannoli, tiramisu, lemon bars. It was a very nice night and hopefully LB Athletics raised a lot of money for scholarships!
