    The best place to launch a boat into the water is Dana Landing Boat Ramp in Mission Bay. Even though it is small with only 4 ramps, it is open 24 hours a day. It is busy but not hectic and rushed-like Shelter Island is or full of noisy hobby planes buzzing around like South Shores Park on Sea World Drive. Remember: San Diego Launch Ramps are all tidal ramps. This means that the water level's fluctuate with the tides.It is important to pay attention to tidal charts to know ideal times and tides to pull the boats in or out. You don't want to mess with your truck trying to retrieve or launch your vessel in low tide conditions! Not a good idea. When my dad would haul our family boat out of Seaforth for repairs or road trips, it would always go right back in at Dana Landing. What's nice is that the Dana on Mission Bay and their Marina's are right next door. On the other side of the Launch is The Dana Landing Market and Fuel Dock, They have recently been remodeled and also sell bait. Nearby also are some well-maintained public restrooms and a bike and walking path that circles around under the Ingraham Street Bridge and ends up over near the Hyatt Hotel. If you want to hit up Mission Bay boating, then this is the Launch for you!

    We booked Hot Tub Cruisin as a Bachelorette activity this past weekend and had a great time! There…read morewere 12 of us on the boat, and it didn't feel overcrowded--everyone had a spot to relax and enjoy. When we first arrived, most of us needed to use the restroom (since there isn't one on the boat), and the girl working at check-in seemed a bit annoyed by that. However, once we got on the boat, she was totally fine and helpful. A few things to note: someone in your group does have to drive the boat, so plan ahead for that. You can bring your own 21+ drinks as long as they're not in glass containers, and you'll need to bring your own ice. Once you're out on the water, it's pretty lively with lots of other boats and people. We played our own music and just hung out--it was a really fun, chill experience. The two hours definitely go by fast, so keep an eye on the time. They're strict about going over, even by a minute, so we set a timer and started heading back 30 minutes before our end time. Overall, a fun and unique experience we'd recommend!

    If you're even thinking about booking a hot tub boat, stop thinking and just DO IT--especially with…read morethis company! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly warm even with the breeze on the water. It's not every day you get to combine luxury, adventure, and pure relaxation all in one, but, what truly made the day unforgettable was the amazing service. Huge shout-out to Kyle - he was fantastic! Super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we were having a memorable experience for my friends bachelorette party. Do not be discouraged by the other ratings on this site, I highly, highly recommend and think this is the perfect addition to any plan in San Diego. It will create a lifetime memory. Plus you get to see Sea Lions on your way out!
