And they're phasing out their most powerful boat, the 75hp, because of too much abuse and the associated high insurance costs. But they still offer the 40hp boat and that has plenty of power, with a top speed of about 20 knots. It comfortably seats 4 people in designated seats, but can fit an extra two people sitting up front sideways on bench seating. I had a great time. I saw seals sunbathing on the buoys, and I even saw dolphins near the first oil rig island by the Queen Mary ship. Of course you can also get a nice close-up view of the Queen Mary itself. You're allowed to go almost to the Seal Beach Municipal Pier, but not quite. 1hr duration is enough if you want to do a quick single lap of the designated ocean area. 2hrs is highly recommend if you want to take your time and not be rushed. Be sure to bring a light jacket, hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the wind and sun. The designated driver is not allowed to drink. I'm not sure if the rest of the guests are allowed to drink. Park near the Yard House restaurant and then walk to the back of the restaurant and you'll see the little hut with the staff in it. If nobody is there then look over the edge to the docked boats because the staff might be down there instead.

Because we couldn't get up on a plane, the small waves ended up splashing everyone on the boat. We just puttered around the shoreline marina. It was fun, but a little disappointing at the same time.

It was an incredible time on open water, floating toys of all sorts and the paddle boards to explore away from the boat. The captain was very knowledgeable about everything sailing/boat related and also about the City of Long Beach. We brought our own food and alcohol, bathing suits and towels. Besides that, everything was taken care of. On my second experience with Chill Out Sailing, I went on the smaller powerboat and we saw pods and pods of dolphins and had a more intimate experience on the water. Bring a jacket and snacks to have a good time!

Look at me, I am the captain now!…read more First off, I can't say enough good things about the whole experience -- and about Ryan, the owner. He was super communicative from the jump, answering questions, giving updates on what was biting, and even sharing tips on bait. Went out with four buddies (a few total beginners), and now they're all hooked! We caught a bunch of fish, used the preloaded GPS spots, and the freedom of cruising anywhere with your friends is unbeatable. I've been on plenty of fishing charters before, but this setup is on another level -- it blows everything else out of the water. All we needed to bring was food and drinks; Slayday handled everything else: poles, ice chest, fuel -- the works. We did stop by the barge to fill our bait tank, but they gave us an extra hour on the water to make up for it. Zero complaints there. Overall, we had an absolute blast, and we're already planning our next trip. Highly recommend if you want a legit SoCal fishing experience that feels one of a kind.

When I say this experience was awesome and refreshing, I truly mean it. The views during the boat ride were absolutely amazing, and for a few hours I felt completely at peace--as if all my troubles had simply vanished. The atmosphere was relaxing, the scenery was beautiful, and it gave me a chance to clear my mind and just enjoy the moment. One of the things I enjoyed most was watching families and friends have a great time together. It was uplifting to see so many people creating memories, and I even had the opportunity to meet a few genuinely kind and interesting people along the way. Thank you for providing such a memorable experience. If you're looking for a peaceful, refreshing escape with beautiful views and great energy, I highly recommend it. Five stars!

We booked a New Year's Eve dinner cruise expecting a reasonably comfortable dinner experience. That…read moreexpectation was not met. There was not enough indoor seating for all guests, and many people were forced onto an upper deck on a cold, rainy night. The upper deck was poorly covered, wet, and uncomfortable, which made it difficult to eat or enjoy the evening. The food quality was poor, items ran out multiple times, and plates and utensils were unavailable at points. Overall, the operation felt overcrowded and disorganized, and it was not an enjoyable way to spend New Year's Eve. After significant back‑and‑forth, Spirit Cruises did eventually issue a refund by check, which I appreciate. However, that does not change how disappointing the actual experience was. I would not recommend this company for a special occasion.

(AG, you know who you are, lol). Other than that mishap, it was a fantastic experience, and it made me consider participating in a yacht timeshare myself. Boating makes me want to quit my career and travel the world by sea. But alas, Wifey likes her diamonds, and I like my luxury cars...

Poor customer service and poor quality of boat. I have to…read moresay it's difficult for me to write this review as my family and I were very much looking forward to spending a beautiful day on the bait to celebrate my dads birthday. And all though we still made the best of it it really did not live up to what was promised and the amount of money we paid. So let's start with m: 1. The address did not match what was listed on their Yelp page and created a lot of confusion and frustration especially since we had kids with us. I had to text the owner, Mario, and he gave us another location to charter form which was not at all what was listed on their page. 2. Not sure if the captain of the day,Noah, was having a bad day or what but he was definitely not in the mood to greet us properly. He was very short, not so friendly and barely spoke to us during our ride. 3. The boat was not like the photos they presented or posted on Yelp. I even texted the owner and asked him to send me a few photos of what the boat will look like. It was definitely dirty, the coaches were so damaged and dirty they had black clothes over them. One of inside couches was wet, my uncle sat on it unknowingly making his pants wet and him uncomfortable for the rest of the ride. 4. The table surfaces were all damaged & chipped. We had to be careful for the kids not to get splinters when they would approach the table to grab something to eat. 5. Worst of it all was that we only watched cargo shipments for 2 hours!! On our phone call with Mario mentioned we can go through the canals and even get a far glimpse of the Queen Mary but we didn't. We even asked Noah to take us the other way around into the open water and he said no he needs to this way first (meaning by the cargo shipments). It was very disappointing since it was my dads actual birthday and the experience was completely robbed from us. It's very sad that we wasted over a thousand dollars and didn't receive what we had paid for. And I even texted Mario afterwards telling him our concerns but didn't get a reply back. Poor customer service.

The upstairs had salmon, salad and roasted potatoes, the downstairs had chicken, salad, clam chowder, brocollini, shrimp. The downstairs buffet quickly ran out of brocollini and shrimp and there wasn't anymore coming. I heard the salmon was good, I mostly ate the potatoes. There is a super tiny kitchen so it must be difficult to feed 100 people in a short amount of time. The dessert buffet was mostly thawed pre-made items but not bad. The cruise itself seemed to mostly focus on shipping containers. Overall it was a pleasant trip. Enjoyable conversations with my coworkers.
