Details

Celebrate America’s 250th on the water with front-row views of Dana Point’s fireworks and a limited-edition commemorative mug.
About this Event

Celebrate Independence Day on the water with an unforgettable evening in Dana Point.


Join us aboard one of our comfortable catamarans as we head just outside Dana Point Harbor for a great view of the city’s Fourth of July fireworks display, launched from a barge off Doheny State Beach.


As the sky comes alive with color, enjoy the unique perspective of watching the show from the calm water, with fireworks reflecting across the ocean in a festive atmosphere.


Our experienced captain will position the vessel at a safe and optimal viewing distance alongside other boats gathered for the celebration.


To make the night even more special, each guest will receive a limited-edition commemorative mug honoring America’s 250th anniversary, a special keepsake from this historic Fourth of July.


Mrs. Captain Dave’s famous Triple Fudge Brownies will also be served as a sweet treat after your cruise.


Mark this historic 250th anniversary of American independence with a truly memorable Fourth of July on the water.



Additional information



Check-in details

Expect extremely heavy July 4th traffic and very limited parking in Dana Point Harbor. This is one of the busiest nights of the year.

Plan to arrive VERY early. We recommend at least 60–90 minutes before departure.

For the smoothest experience, consider arriving earlier in the day to enjoy the harbor’s shops, restaurants, and waterfront before your cruise.

Trips depart on time and cannot be held for late arrivals.



Disclaimer

The fireworks display is produced by the City of Dana Point in partnership with a third-party event organizer and may be modified, delayed, or canceled due to weather or safety conditions. All aspects of the display are outside of our control.
