Bon Voyage: Long Beach Boat Excursions

Whether you want to go 26 miles across the sea, learn more about what lives in it or simply would like to glide through the canals of Naples with something to gnosh, Long Beach has a lot of outfits providing a lot of boats for a lot of occasions and destinations. Bon voyage!

SAILBOAT CHARTERS

Jolly Sailing (421 Shoreline Village Dr.) allows you and your friends/family to enjoy your cruise however you like it: serene and mellow or pumped up with music and a dip in the ocean. Bring your favorite food and drinks and Jolly will supply the rest: blankets, ice chests, Bluetooth speakers, karaoke mic–upon request–and, most importantly, a licensed captain to handle the boat, which accommodates up to six people. Jolly offers two- and three-hour excursions, the latter ideal for those who want to anchor and swim around a bit.

Harbor Breeze Cruise’s (100 Aquarium Way, Dock #2) state-of-the-art ships offer stadium seating for exceptional viewing. Their daily 2-to-2 ½ hour cruises are conducted by captains with decades of experience in locating whales, orcas and dolphins, while marine experts from the Aquarium of the Pacific provide information and answers to your questions. Typically, May through October produce Blue Whale sightings, while Humpback, Fin and Minke whales are seen year-round. The company also offers a 45-minute harbor tour that gives you some history with one-of-a-kind views of the Long Beach skyline and Queen Mary .

Duffy Boat Rentals

London Boat Rentals (186 N. Marina Dr. #4601) makes it easy for you to skipper your own boat around Alamitos Bay and through the Naples canals. Their 21-foot Duffy electric vessels accommodate eight people and cruise at a speed of five mph. Easy to navigate, you’ll be given a quick tutorial on using the boat and where to take it. Each boat comes stocked with popcorn and the London website has a list of restaurants that, if called 48 hours prior to your reservation, will deliver food to the dock for your trip.

Visit Catalina

With more than 40 years experience, Catalina Express’s (320 Golden Shore) Long Beach landing, located near Shoreline Village, is home to high-speed vessels that can make the roughly 30 mile channel crossing in about an hour. You have the option of riding inside or outside on the deck as you take the Express to either Avalon, the island’s main town, or to Two Harbors. Both locations are great entry points for all manner of activities including hiking, biking, snorkeling and fishing, along with spa days and just kicking back at a beach club.

Cruise the Coast

The AquaLink , which is part of Long Beach Transit, provides a novel, fun connection between the restaurants and retail of Shoreline Village with the restaurants on Alamitos Bay. Operational Friday through Sunday–11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m–a one-way fare costs $5 (exact change if you’re paying with cash.) AquaLink–available on a first-come basis–is available at Alamitos Bay Landing Berth 3, next to Boathouse on the Bay , or at Dock 4 in Rainbow Harbor next to Aquarium of the Pacific . AquaLink runs daily between Memorial and Labor Days.

News | the first-timer’s go-to guide for the best grand prix of long beach experience.

It’s just about time for 49th annual Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.

The event, dubbed Southern California’s 200-mph beach party, will offer Grand Prix veterans and first-timers countless offerings from Friday to Sunday, April 19-21.

There’s so much to see and do at this event — which takes over a big chunk of Long Beach’s downtown and waterfront — it might be hard to figure out how to make the most of the experience.

But never fear. The Southern California News Group has you covered with a go-to guide to get the most out of Long Beach’s biggest party this weekend.

Take a look.

Getting there

The Grand Prix might be all about driving — but it’s probably best you leave that to the professionals this weekend. Instead, opt for an alternative means of transportation.

There are plenty of options at your disposal to avoid dealing with street closures and parking pains caused by the influx of nearly 200,000 spectators the event is expected to draw.

Consider taking the Los Angeles Metro. The A Line, formerly the Blue Line, will get you from Union Station to Downtown Long Beach in a pinch.

Disembark the train at the Downtown Long Beach Station and walk the rest of the route (about half a block) to the Grand Prix’s entrances along Ocean Boulevard.

Regular fare is $1.75 per person.

Long Beach Transit also has more than 30 bus routes and plenty of stops in the city — including near the Grand Prix’s entrances.

Check lbtransit.com to plan your specific route, or use the Moovit app, which is available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play.

If you’re feeling a little fun, you might also try Long Beach Transit’s water taxi routes — the AquaLink and AquaBus.

The AquaLink will ferry you from the the Alamitos Bay Landing to Rainbow Harbor at Aquarium Dock 4, near the Grand Prix, for just $5.

The earliest boat departs Alamitos Bay at 8:30 a.m. and the last trip departs the Aquarium Dock at 7 p.m. It’s about a 40 minute ride either way.

The AquaBus, a shorter and even more affordable ride at just $1 for a one-way ticket, will get you to the Grand Prix from the Queen Mary.

Those trips will kick off at 9 a.m., with the last AquaBus scheduled to depart the Queen Mary at 7:20 p.m.

More information about the AquaLink and AquaBus schedules and parking near the Alamitos Bay Landing is available on LB Transit’s website .

For ridesharers: The Grand Prix has an official Uber, Lyft and taxi drop-off point on First Street, between Elm Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard.

And don’t forget about the Long Beach Bike Share, which has several pick-up points throughout the city and near the Grand Prix.

It costs $7 for an hour for pay-as-you-go riders; pre-payers can get three hours of riding time for $21 dollars. Find a bike near you at  longbeachbikeshare.com .

If — despite all the warnings — you plan to drive, prepare yourself to deal with extra traffic and street closures.

On-site parking at the Grand Prix is limited, but there are some options available.

One-day and three-day passes for parking on the west end of Shoreline Drive are available for purchase on the Grand Prix’s website.

One-day parking passes are $20; three-day passes total $50.

The Pike Outlets also offers parking — but only for a three-day package. Those passes cost $60, and are also available on the Grand Prix’s website.

Make a checklist

These are by no means mandatory — but here’s few things you might consider bringing to the Grand Prix to help your weekend run smoothly.

You can never go wrong with a battery bank to keep your mobile devices charged. It’s also a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle and sunscreen, and wear layers of comfortable clothes so you’re prepared for hot and cold weather.

A good pair of walking shoes are highly recommended. And don’t forget the earplugs — the Grand Prix is loud.

The next list of items, though, are prohibited by the Grand Prix, so don’t bring them unless you want to get booted:

• Alcoholic beverages, glass bottles and cans.
• Weapons (knives, guns, mace, stun guns).
• Folding stadium seats, large umbrellas, lawn furniture, ladders and step stools.
• Bikes, skateboards, hoverboards, skates and rollerblades.
• Powered scooters and bikes.
• Hand-drawn wagons.
• Pets (except service animals).
• Banners and signs.
• Ice chests larger than 14 inches.
• Drones or RC aircraft.

Where to watch the races

The Grand Prix’s spectator gates will open at 7:30 a.m. each day.

The type of ticket you have will determine which parts of the event you’ll have access to.

General admission attendees, for example, won’t have reserved seats in the event’s various grandstands — but there is a GA viewing location sandwiched between the Pike Outlets and the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

General ticket holders also get free access to non-racing entertainment, including the Grand Prix’s Friday Fiesta concert and Saturday evening concert.

Don’t forget to check out the Grand Prix’s usual attractions, including the lifestyle expo and a family fun zone at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center.

Those who purchased tickets with reserved seating will be given further information about which grandstand to head to on race days. A map of concourse is available on the Grand Prix’s website, gplb.com .

Between the races

Once you, inevitably, need a break from the noise and all the walking, Marina Park is a great place to relax and recharge, or just kill some time until the next race starts.

Grand Prix-goers can also check out the event’s Lifestyle Expo at the Convention Center.

The expo includes displays from more than 100 retailers featuring automotive, home, recreation, travel and entertainment products — and it’s a great place to get an air-conditioned break from the outside.

And the Family Fun Zone is there as well, with kids able to enjoy inflatables, a bungee jump, a rock-climbing wall and electric-powered cars.

Attendees can also take a tour of Rainbow Lagoon, near Turn 6 and the Hyatt Long Beach Hotel, in swan boats — which are available to rent on site.

Hungry yet?

There’s plenty to eat — and drink — at the Grand Prix.

This year, King Taco, one of the Grand Prix’s most beloved food vendors, will celebrate it’s 50th anniversary — and 30th catering the event.

They’ll have several locations around the Grand Prix, including a spit in the Food Truck Village, located behind Grandstand 31 near Shoreline Village.

There’s also Bistro Row, to the east of Vendor Row and across from the NTT IndyCar Series Paddock, which offers a variety of other food choices and places to sit nearby.

Modelo will also have two sports bar popups at the Grand Prix — one in Marina Park behind Grandstand 31 and the other on the Promenade near the Long Beach Convention Center.

The Pike Outlets, Shoreline Village and downtown Long Beach itself also have myriad food options available, including Gladstone’s, Hooters, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., California Pizza Kitchen and Island’s.

Refreshments like Pepsi, NOS energy drinks and Aquafina water are available all around the circuit — and the Long Beach Water Department will bring its Quench Buggy, a mobile water-refilling station, to the Grand Prix to help attendees stay hydrated.

There’s an app for that

If everything you just read still feels like a lot to keep track of — well, there’s an app for that.

Grand Prix organizers, last year, unveiled an event-specific app for the first time, aimed at helping attendees keep track of and plan out their weekends.

With the app, you can create a personalized race weekend schedule, easily find food and beverage options near by, and quickly access a map of the area.

The app is available on both Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

Make a plan

Everyone loves to dabble in spontaneity — but if you want the most out of the three-day experience, it’s best to plan ahead. And remember, have fun!
