What to know before visiting Los Angeles

Rent a Boat in Los Angeles

With 9 miles of coastline along the Los Angeles waterfront alone and another 831 coastal miles along California’s Pacific Coast, it is hard to imagine a better place to be a boater than LA. Warm, blue Pacific Ocean waters beckon boaters while fish big and small wait for anglers to seek them out. Add in the lack of rainfall and average year-round temperatures of about 80 degrees, and it’s easy to see what makes Los Angeles a popular boating destination. Other great attractions are within easy reach, such as Catalina Island and the Channel Islands National Park. With almost perfect weather and many destinations for boaters to explore, Los Angeles is a great destination for boat owners and renters alike. 

What To Know

Los Angeles has great weather year-round. With lows rarely dropping below 70 degrees or rising above 85, the weather is almost always perfect for a day on the water. Some of the most popular boats in the area include – 

 
Pontoon and deck boats are common options for sunset cruises, snorkeling, wakeboarding, and exploring the coastline. Sailboats are also popular since there’s almost always a breeze. 
 
Fishing offshore and cruising the coast also make center consoles and small to large cruisers popular boat rental options. Larger sportfishing boats and luxury yachts are also common.

Safety Requirements:

 
Boating License/Education Rules: On January 1, 2018, California began a phase-in-by-age law that requires certain boat and PWC operators to pass a boater safety course and to carry the California Boater Card. The law is being phased in over several years. Beginning January 1, 2023, all boaters 50 years of age or younger will be required to carry the Boater Card.
 
Life Jacket Requirements:  California law requires that every child under age 13 must wear a life jacket at all times while on a moving vessel of any length. (There are three exceptions: Children are not required to wear a life jacket when they are wearing a harness on a sailboat, when they are in an enclosed cabin, and when they are on a vessel during an emergency rescue.)Children ages 6 and under must wear a personal floatation device (PFD).
