Have taken this cruise many times. It's especially nice during the holidays. Great way to see the lights and enjoy the atmosphere. They were very helpful in arranging a large group and provided the food. The gondoliers were very pleasant. Will definetely return!

It was our anniversary. My husband surprised me with a ride in a gondola, Naples, Long Beach. The gondola was made in Venice; the gondolier Eric sang us Santa Lucia, Arrivederci Roma. A beautiful sunset. An hour ride along the Naples islands, Long Beach. Now that's amore!

I have gone on the Gondolas several times with my Husband on romantic nights out and we have taken several friends and families who were in town visiting. Such a nice relaxing boat ride through the canals and I love looking at all of the beautiful homes in Naples. Highly recommend it and bring a bottle of wine.

I went with my parents the other night and we had a great time! It's a fun way to see Long Beach and we love looking at all of the houses. It was very relaxing and our Gondolier (Santiago) was very friendly. I can see how it would be a great romantic date. And they give you a free souvenir... More

The Boat/Gondola takes you in these little canals and the bridges are used as acoustic sound amplifiers..awesome! Located in a nice bay dividing the Ultra chic "Naples isles"/Canals from the rowdy and fun ,Belmont Shore.This area is "stones throw" to Orange County. One of the classiest things in Long Beach..almost like a different city. Glad we tried,worth the fee.

This was one of the most fun events with so little effort! We took an evening ride Dec. 2011, and saw all the beautiful Christmas lights on the houses around the canals. The hour went quickly, but it was so much fun. They will let you bring food and wine or pretty much whatever you want. I can't recommend it... More

Having been born and raised in Belmont Shore, I had often looked at the Naples Island community with awe and wonder but had never actually been able to tour the inner canals as they are not accessible by car, only by boat. There were four of us and they provided us with a comfortable gondola for four complete with ice,... More

The main part of the tour was nice, but they cut our hour long trip to about 40 minutes since they weren't ready for us when we arrived. At one point the gondola "driver" sang a song that was cringe worthy and created an awkward moment. Can't say that I would recommend this experience.
