The glass bottom boat has been providing sightseeing tours to Los Angeles County in the city of Redondo Beach for over 20 years. Our boat ride has an experienced crew with local knowledge of the harbor and wildlife. The glass bottom boat was built in 1995 and is a U.S. Coast Guard Inspected Vessel with annual inspections. There are many different types of glass bottom boats but any boat that has glass for viewing underwater is considered to be a glass bottom boat. Some boats have glass floors you can stand on, many have a glass bottom that you look down at from the top deck, and some have small glass portholes to look out from. Our boat has an underwater viewing chamber which allows you to go downstairs and sit on our benches as you look out the large windows on either side of the bottom of the boat. These windows are approximately 7 feet long by 2 feet high and offer a very large, wide uninterrupted view of the fish. While we ask that you do not touch the windows, you do have the ability to get within inches of the glass to enjoy the views. The journey will be a two part trip in that some time is spent below water and the rest is spent above as we also venture to see the California Sea Lions while on the top deck of the boat!
The glass bottom boat is captained and owned by Jake Mark a U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captains. Captain Jake grew up here in the South Bay and has worked on and around the water since 2015. With three kids of his own, family enjoyment is his number one priority!
While we can't guarantee you will see sharks or a mermaid, we can guarantee that you will see at least one of the following: California Sea Lions, Garibaldi (CA State Saltwater Fish), Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Opaleye, smelt, perch, and/or pelicans. On the very rare occasion we do not see any wildlife during your trip, we can give you a full refund.
We will start our adventure on the top deck as we view the California Sea Lions before making our way downstairs into the viewing chamber to see all of the underwater sea life. Trips last about 45 minutes.
