The Time Bandit Pirate Ship (Holloway's Marina)
Time Bandit, Big Bear's one and only Pirate Ship, is a 1/3rd scale replica of a Spanish Galleon and was built by a Father and his Son from the late 60’s through the 70’s in their back yard! It was then used in the 1981 movie release “Time Bandit.” Later it was used as a tour boat in LA Harbor and Newport Beach. Then it was purchased by Ed & Kelly Kinsley, who refurbished it and moved it to Big Bear Lake to operate as a tour boat.
The Big Bear Queen (Pine Knot Marina)
Enjoy a 90 minute excursion narrated by Captain Chris, the lifelong Big Bear Queen Captain! Learn about the solar observatory, Garstin Island, celebrity homes, the story of the Four Dams, some of the best fishing spots on the lake.
Big Bear Cruzer (Big Bear Marina)
Get the inside scope on all things Big Bear from the Big Bear Cruzer––a private tour pontoon boat for 25 passengers. There’s never minimum passenger requirements so Cruzer cruises go out even if there’s only one person on board (lucky you!) Fully-covered with sound system and restroom, Cruzer offers an intimate experience on tours as the newest tour boat on the lake.
