My husband and I were celebrating 15 years of marriage and it so happened that the Sunday we booked the yacht was on Cinco de Mayo. We arrived around 2pm and were greeted by the wonderful ladies in their floating office :>) The ladies were very informative and showed us everything we needed to know about the yacht and the...

What a wonderful concept...to rent a docked yacht for an evening in Long Beach and sleep on it, feeling the gentle motion of the waves of the ocean. My wife and I headed here for an overnight stay in hopes to take a breather from the routine of work and responsibilities. We stayed in the Crown Jewel, one of the... More

We are always appreciative of our guests taking the time to write a thoughtful review of our property and services, and this is no exception. Positive reviews bouy our drive and passion for what we do and negative reviews give us great insight on things we can always improve on. The Crown Jewel is one of our most popular vessels,... More

My boyfriend purchased our stay at the Dockside Boat & Bed through Groupon for my Birthday. What a lovely experience. The woman who checked us in was very down to earth and informative about parking which is only a 5 minute walk from the dock. We only spent one night but I could have stayed a whole week. Sea Peepers... More

We just stayed at Dockside Boat & Bed. We had an excellent time! Don't hesitate to stay here. The location is great! Eat at Gladstone's and take a short walk to Shoreline Village for coffee at Twisters. After getting your coffee, enjoy it on your boat with a beautiful view. Some of the other reviewers said some negative things about... More

We just got back from a night on the Sea Peeper. What can I say except totally awesome!!! The view was spectacular and you are right in the heart of Shoreline Village and all the fun. We got to look on a few of the other boats and out of them all, Id say Sea Peeper and Perfect landing would... More

A most enjoyable, relaxing three day experience. We enjoyed sitting on the aft deck and waving to all the tourists as they went by on the tourist boats and watching all the other boats come & go along with a playful seal that would pop up here and there. Everyone seemed so friendly and it was a pleasure to meet... More

We really enjoyed spending the weekend on this boat. It's a different experience than a traditional hotel - so I just wanted to note some Pros/Cons. It was great being directly on the water and we would stay again. I would probably not choose the Perfect Landing a second time because the chairs on the deck were uncomfortable and there... More

We stayed on the Sea Peeper on the night of July 28th, 2012. This was a great experience. We were right in the middle of the action. Only a few minutes walk to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Tons of restaurants around. The ship was a bit dated, but very clean, and well stocked. There is a refrigerator and a... More

This past winter, my wife clipped a New York Times article entitled "36 Hours in Long Beach, CA" in which Dockside was mentioned and booked us for two nights there - one of which was our fifth anniversary! Our stay on "Perfect Landing," one of the two boats whose stern faces the lighthouse, was really lovely. The vessel (a 42'... More

Stayed here for two nights. It was an awesome experience. The boat had lots of room and we sat on the back to eat and enjoy snacks as we watched everyone on other boats go by. The staff is very friendly. You can take food to BBQ on the dock instead of eating at a restaurant. The morning breakfast is... More
