Taking a Boat Tour is a very popular way to take in the beauty surrounding the Entire Big Bear Valley and explore the many coves hidden around the Lake. Most are guided tours that give you what amounts to a History lesson of how Big Bear Lake came to be, and the many Celebrities that have called Big Bear home.
 There is 3 Large Guided Boat Tours around Big Bear Lake
to choose from depending on your location
and preference of Boat style.

 The first tour boat on Big Bear Lake is the Big Bear Queen docked at the Big Bear Marina right on Paine Rd.
Boat tours start at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm daily throughout the summer months. The cost for a 90 minute Boat Tour of Big Bear lake is only $15 for Adults and $9 for children 3 to 12 years of age. You can also take advantage of the Big Bear Queens Sunset Cruise is every Wednesday and Saturday night from June til labor day. The Queen is also available for private rental with a capacity up to 55 people. Perfect for any special occasion or even a wedding out in the middle of Big Bear Lake.

The next Tour Boat available in Big Bear also happens to be the largest Boat on Big Bear lake. The Miss Liberty is a massive replica of the old paddle wheel style boats along the Mississippi that made it's 2500 mile journey to Big Bear in 2007 from the Florida Deltas. The Miss Liberty is docked at the Pine Knot Marina just North of the Village. The large double decker boat has a seating capacity of 125 people during it's 90 minute tour of Big Bear lake. The ships Captain is we'll informed about the History of Big Bear as we'll as a few Celebrity Lakefront Homes that they narrate throughout the Boat Tour. The Miss Liberty is also available for private party's and weddings hosted out on the Lake.

The last but not least Tour Boat is the Famous Big Bear Pirate Ship docked at Holloway's Marina in the Boulder Bay area. The pirate ship (named the 'Time Bandit') is perhaps the most recognizable vessel that sails the waters of Big Bear Lake.
The Time Bandit is an authentic replica of a Spanish Galleon Pirate Ship built at 1/3rd the scale of the original Ship. The Ship was actually built by a father and Son team down the hill which was completed in the mid 70's. The Ship was used as a tour boat for many years in the LA Harbor and in the Newport Beach areas before making it's final trip up the Mountains to Big Bear Lake. The roughly 100 mile trip took a whopping 2 1/2 days and numerous permits before making it to it's final destination to Holloway's Marina where it has called home ever since. Always be on the lookout during the 90 minute tour because at any given time they have been known to shoot the authentic cannons off that can be heard half way across the Lake.
Rates for the Time Bandit are $19 for Adults and $12 for Children under 12 years old starting at 12pm and every two hours on the hour til 6pm depending on availability.
The Pirate Ship can also be privately rented out at $195/Hour with a 2 hour minimum and makes for an unforgettable Birthday Party in the Middle of Big Bear Lake.
