great little experience. I went with my wife for our wedding anniversary. Mark, the gondolier was very personable and nice. It was very relaxing and beautiful (6pm in September). I opted for the rose petals and the message in a bottle 'trick'. My wife loved it. Probably a good 1st date activity too.

My husband and I booked Gondola Paradiso for our 3 year anniversary and had an amazing time. Mark made our experience a once in a life time memory. 10/10 would recommend this company as a must do activity while in Oxnard!

My wife and I had a wonderful time! Mark was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, fun and informative. He answered all our questions, shared fun facts with us, but was quiet too. He knew when and were to just let us soak in the beautiful views. At times, with the water so calm, and Mark's vast experience as a gondolier, it was silent as we moved along. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon!

My husband and I enjoyed the gondola ride SO VERY VERY MUCH! Perfect for a romantic date for two—or a fun outing with friends! We brought a bottle of wine and some hot wings! Yeah baby!

Wow! Another great ride! I’m still in awe on how great and romantic it was! Tristin was our Gondolier this time and he did an awesome job showing his skills he had with the boat. This allowed us to get great photos and really take it in. Just the right amount of time to enjoy the cruise. A+ for these two, Mark and Tristin. Thank you for the “swell” ride! We’ll be back and will tell others!

FAQs

Do I need to make a reservation for a gondola cruise?

Yes. Reservations are required.

What happens if it rains?

Please call for our local weather conditions. It frequently is not raining in the Channel Island Harbor when it is raining elsewhere in Ventura County. We may still be able to take you out on your cruise. If you want to reschedule, or we have to cancel due to weather conditions, we will charge your credit card and send you a gift certificate so you can come another day.

What happens if I'm late to a gondola cruise?

Try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. If you are late for your cruise, your gondola will still return to the dock at its scheduled time. You will receive a shortened cruise that will fit into the time you booked for your cruise.
