Experience the 117th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade with Voyagers Rentals
The 117th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade is almost here, and the harbor is getting ready to shine. From December 17 through December 21, Newport Harbor transforms into a glowing ribbon of lights as more than 100 decorated boats cruise through the water each night. It’s one of the most unique holiday traditions in the country and has only grown bigger and more beautiful each year.
💖 What Makes This Parade So Special
This year’s theme, Magical Nights of Lights, sums it up perfectly. Homes along the harbor go all out for the Ring of Lights competition, turning the shoreline into a second parade all its own. The reflections on the water, the music, and the decorated boats create a setting you really can’t find anywhere else. Whether you’ve lived in Newport for years or you’re visiting for the first time, it feels magical every single night.
🚤 Watch the Parade in Comfort on a Voyagers Duffy
Seeing the parade from the water is an experience you’ll never forget. When you book a Duffy with Voyagers Rentals, you control the pace and the vibe. Bring your favorite holiday playlist, your warm drinks, and your crew. You get front-row views of the lit-up yachts, kayaks, and cruisers gliding by, all while wrapped in blankets with the harbor breeze around you.
It’s perfect for:
