The harbor lights of Long Beach split and shimmer as the yacht eases away from Pierpoint Landing. Salted air teases your hair, and the city silhouette slides by—neon storefronts trading places with the dark spread of ocean. For one hour you’re off the dock on a 42-foot Bertram-Trojan, the captain at the wheel, your group wrapped in a small private pocket of the harbor where dolphins sometimes cut the wake and pelicans wheel like punctuation marks.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The harbor lights of Long Beach split and shimmer as the yacht eases away from Pierpoint Landing. Salted air teases your hair, and the city silhouette slides by—neon storefronts trading places with the dark spread of ocean. For one hour you’re off the dock on a 42-foot Bertram-Trojan, the captain at the wheel, your group wrapped in a small private pocket of the harbor where dolphins sometimes cut the wake and pelicans wheel like punctuation marks.
Long Beach grew from a 19th-century seaside town into a major port; the harbor you pass was engineered through decades of dredging to support shipping and recreation. Geologically this stretch sits on the gentle continental shelf of southern California—shallow water, sand bottoms, and currents that shape the coastline and feed the kelp beds out toward the islands. Culturally, the boat ride ties into local life: sportfishing, waterfront dining, and the Queen Mary’s history just around the corner.
Expect close views of the downtown skyline, low-lying Breakwater and the distant shape of Catalina on clear nights. Sea life sightings—seals, dolphins, and shorebirds—are common, though never guaranteed.
Practicalities matter: meet at Dock 1 under the Pierpoint Landing sign and call the captain at departure time. Bring your own food and drinks; there’s a private bathroom and an outdoor dining area. Dress in warm layers—the wind chill on open water is sharp even in summer—and wear flat, non‑marking shoes. Parking is in nearby paid lots; allow extra time. Consider stacking bookings for a longer celebration.
One ticket covers a private booking for 1–6 people aboard the yacht.
Yes—this is a BYOB trip and you may bring food aboard; no extra fees for provisioning.
Meet under the Dock 1 sign at Pierpoint Landing and call the captain at departure time; there is no provided parking—use nearby paid garages or lots.
