About this event

Welcome Aboard! For Fun In The Sun Sunday, September 4, 2005 - Arrive 11:00 a.m. for a prompt 11:30 a.m. departure If you feel the need for speed, park your Ferrari in the shaded comfort of the "Wave" garage and board the RAINBOW ROCKET - the "Fun in the Sun" speed boat - for a thrilling ride. Feel the exhilaration of 1800 hp as we blast off into the ocean waves at top speed racing by elegant luxury homes, manicured beach front parks and breath-taking shoreline views. United States Coast Guard certified, the RAINBOW ROCKET is fast, fun exciting and safe. Located at Rainbow Harbor in Shoreline Village, downtown Long Beach, the RAINBOW ROCKET ties up at Dock #7 on the harbor side of the Yard House Restaurant across from the Long Beach Grand Prix headquarters Hyatt Hotel. Following a 1-hour ultimate "speed and splash" ocean cruise, harbor view restaurants featuring steak, Italian, American, Chinese, Mexican or seafood cuisine may tempt your palate. Stroll the boardwalk past tall ships, the port lighthouse and marina, Shoreline Village shops and a mesmerizing Water Wave mural. The Aquarium of the Pacific invites you to drop in at the shark tank, swim underwater with the sea lions or search a reef for tropical fish. Cross the Long Beach Grand Prix course via the Roller Coaster Bridge, explore the New Pike or relax under a tree by the ocean. Top off the day sharing dinner with Mary - a Queen; book an elegant stateroom aboard an historic legend; view the City by evening light from her Promenade Deck; browse a variety of shops aboard and in the plaza below. Boarding will commence at Rainbow Harbor Dock/Gate #7 near the Yard House Restaurant at 11:00 a.m. for a prompt 11:30 a.m. departure. Don't be left on the dock! Deadline: Wednesday, August 31, 2005.
