San Diego, CA
San Diego’s pleasant and mild weather wins it the top spot on the best spring break destinations list. While the water in San Diego is still cold during spring, March and April are the best months to catch the gray whales’ annual migration from Alaska to Mexico. And, the best seat of the house to whale watch just so happens to be on a boat.

Just step climb aboard, embrace the Emerald Coast state-of-mind, and let all your worries wash away.
The Donut Boat – Austin, TX

The hull of this boat is made of high-density polyethylene, making it durable and safe. Book the Donut Boat for a fun family picnic on the water and explore Lake Travis.
The James Bond Boat – Marina Del Rey, CA
In 2020 VanDutch became part of the Cantiere del Pardo family, the renowned Italian-based shipyard with almost fifty years of experience in building quality yachts. And this VanDutch 40 has got some pretty class-A features: A cockpit bar on the main deck and a refrigerated wine cooler (for the parents, of course). Below the deck is a spacious lounge where everyone can freshen up, hang out, and relax.
The Restored Schooner – Key West, FL
Whether you’re still planning or already in The Florida Keys, consider exploring the U.S. Southernmost Point on this beautifully restored 41’ Island Trader.
