Sail in style on one of Eco Boat Rentalsā€™ pink party boats for a unique, picture-perfect experience on the San Diego Harbor. With a BYOB (thatā€™s short for booze, not just beer) policy, fill your cooler with ice and a pack of Mystique canned cocktails. Featuring flavors of the tropics, this gold-medal-winning fruity beverage combines notes of guava and lychee, infused with a hint of jasmine rum. The yachtā€™s Bluetooth stereos and spacious lounging decks make it the perfect charter to dance to the beat of the new ā€œBarbieā€ soundtrack while sipping on Club Kokomoā€™s ice-cold spirits. The two-hour venture out on the harbor is ideal for a birthday celebration, a bachelorette party or just adding a bit of glam to a summer day.
