Gondoliers in Marina Del Rey, CA, Can you imagine a Romantic Gondola Ride in Marina Del Rey?

Are you a Romantic? If you are, then this is definitely for you.

Diane and I were strolling by the Channel in Marina Del Rey, CA when we noticed a Gondola like in Venice, Italy moving in the Channel with a Gondolier Singing Italian Love Songs.

We saw a couple snuggled up, very romantic and cozy. Needless to say I had my BlackBerry with me and snapped these photos to share. As you can see it looks like the same ride as being at the Venetian in Las Vegas or the original Gondola Rides of Venice Italy.

When we came back from our walk I had to do some research. Evidently you can have day time; evening or sunset rides from an hour and a half to two and a half hours, with wine, Champaign, fruit platter or a real meal. Most people opt for the one and a half hour romantic ride; most people had favorable comments on Yelp. So if you are in Marina Del Rey and want to do something romantic and not just the ordinary evening than check out Gondolas D’Amore in Marina Del Rey, CA.

Endre-Looks like a great way to get around and avoid the LA freeway system. And not a bad way to spend some alone time with your special person.

Endre I was waiting to hear you say you had booked a trip for you and Diane. So I am going to use your question against you. Are you romantic? :)

Good morning, Endre -- I bet a gondola ride would make the perfect gift for that difficult-to-buy/has everything kind of person on your holiday checklist.

Endre - Who says only the Europeans have a lock on romance? What a great way to have a romantic evening right here in Southern California, not that having a romantic evening in European isn't great too! Loved the photos!

That's pretty cool, Endre. I had no idea.

I so enjoyed watching the gondoliers in Venice although we never did go. THis may be our opportunity, as long as the water is smooth!! What a neat gift to give someone special.
