What To Expect With Your Ride
After purchasing your Glow Boat experience, you’ll receive an email confirmation with important details — including where to park, how to find us at H&M Landing, and a list of items to bring for your adventure.
Please arrive 15–20 minutes before your reservation time to allow time for parking and check-in. Once you’re at the dock, our crew will greet you, check you in, provide life jackets, go over safety instructions, and show you how to operate your boat.
Our crew doesn’t give a narrated tour, but you’ll still have support throughout the experience. Two safety boats will accompany the group, helping guide everyone toward the best views of Downtown San Diego and ensuring everything goes smoothly from start to finish.
The ride begins with a 15-minute cruise out from our dock through America’s Cup Harbor. From there, you’ll arrive at San Diego Bay and take in breathtaking City views. You’ll have about 30 minutes to relax, play music on your boat’s Bluetooth speaker, drift with the group, or explore nearby on your own. Finally, we’ll all return together for the 15-minute ride back.
Each boat is private — just you and your crew — but you’ll still be part of a small, secure group. We provide cozy blankets for the evening chill, and every boat has its own fun character name for a playful personal touch.
We’re here to make sure your experience is smooth, fun, and unforgettable.

Testimonials
Elizabeth H."Yelp"
We had so much fun last night for the glow in the dark night time pedal boat ride w/ eco boat rentals! The staff is so friendly as they help you get on and off the boat. You don’t have to have any experience with boats at all to enjoy this tour. They untie it as you leave and they catch and dock it for you as you return. They walk you through how to use the boat and help you connect to the speaker for music and all the boats have an awesome disco light. Rus and Kate make sure all the boats are safe while out in the bay so all you have to do is just sit back and enjoy an awesome time with your friends. You can bring food, drinks, and even your dog. My favorite thing is watching the city lights from the water along with all the other glow and the dark boats. I will definitely be back for this again.

Our glow boat ride tour in San Diego was a wonderful ending to a great day. Hosts are knowledgeable and kept the vibe upbeat for the entirety of the experience. They will give you the basics/directions and allow you the space to make the experience your own as you explore the area with your companion on open water. The disco ball/music/reflection on the dark waves was magical. It is truly a one of a kind activity and we would do it again in a heartbeat 🙂 wish they had one at every port in the states. 12/10 would recommend!
