Christmas Boat Parade Newport Beach

The evening cruise was wonderful, the crew was amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. The lights were beautiful and the Christmas music topped off the cruise. I recommend this for anyone who loves lights and Christmas.

Amazing cruise of the Holiday Lights. The captain was amazing, the boat ride smooth and lovely. The Christmas music was perfect! A wonderful way to celebrate Christmas season. Our new tradition to kick off the season.

I had an amazing first experience with the Christmas Boat Parade. We went on New Years Eve and rented a full boat. There was so much to view for the whole ride, and there was a concession area for treats and drinks as well. This truly deserves 5 stars, and I highly recommend all visitors to seek out this adventure. Thank you, and God bless the Christmas boat parade!

The cruise itself was very relaxing, simple and easy boarding, and the warm drinks we purchased were perfect to warm us up as we slowly floated along the harbor to enjoy the holiday decor. The boat wasn't overly full which left room for seating inside and out and gave room to walk around. While we didn't interact with the crew much the short and sweet interaction we did have was pleasant. Overall great date night for us! ** I will note they are NOT wrong when they say come an hour or more in advance. The parking is MAYHEM! We're socal natives but never experienced the parking situation we did before arriving for our cruise.

It was a really great experience for our group! This is the 3rd time we've done one of these boat cruises for the Christmas Boat Parade. All of them were good, but this captain was probably the best one we've had yet! If I had one critique, it would be that it could've been a little louder when he was narrating our excursion. It was sometimes hard to hear over others' conversations. Other than that, it was enjoyable from start to finish! I hope others get a chance to experience this at least once in their life. It's well worth it!

It was great. What would have made it even better would have been not having a reserved section that over time other people just sat in (not because it was reserved for them but just because they could). As one of the first on the boat, it would have been nice to sit there. Also, there is a bright white strip light shining in your eyes the whole time. Finally, crew was basically nowhere around so kids were running and screaming on the top deck like feral maniacs starting about half way through. I could have used a crew member to simmer them down a notch.

We had an amazing time. The captain was top notch for the Catalina Express 6pm on the 22nd. He got us the best views of the boat parade and drone show. The crew did a fantastic job too! We will definitely be doing this again.

My family and I had a great time with the 2 wonderful crew members from our Cadillac boat on 12/25 at 5:30pm cruise. Sorry, but as of right now I’m unable to recall their names. But both were attentive and friendly. Will visit the event next year. Thank you to both.
