So you want to do something cool? Something unique? Something that's romantic and fun? Well head for the Marina and check out U-Drive - Boat Rentals of America. Located off the wharf in Marina Del Rey, is the perfect opportunity to create that perfect date. First you need some nibbles. Plan ahead and be that gentleman we both know you are. A good place to find a tasty meal for takeout is California Pizza Kitchen, on Admiralty Blvd, just before the Wharf. For the Organic lover in you, swing by Organic Panificio, two doors down from the Ritz Carlton, on Admiralty, next door to The Marina City Club. This spot can create that perfect picnic basket for two, organic style. If you are feeling flush, Whole Foods does amazing picnic baskets, including the all important picnic basket itself, as well as all the glasses and utensils needed for "Operation Picnic in a Boat".
Now that you have the treats sorted, pick up your date and head for the water. Once at the wharf, U-Drive is very easy to spot. Unless you are a glutton for punishment from your date, I would stay away from the Kayaks and Pedal Boats. Lovely for when you reach couple status, not ideal for a date in a skirt. Step up to the 18' - 19' Off Shore Powerboats or if they are sold out, then the 17' In-Harbor Powerboat. The former is perfect to layout that picnic at calm sea with st
ill enough power to show her your Bond side after the picnic. Powerboat hourly rentals range from $65 an hour for the smaller engines and $125 for the 'scare the living daylights' out of your date, engine. During summer, try to book ahead as they tend to rent out quickly. Off-season is a good time to pick up some deals and breaks.Check out their website at http://www.boats4rent.com/ for a 10% discount.
