Tired of watching Netflix from your bed? Don’t want to sit in a cold, dark theater for 2.5 hours?
Spice up your next movie night at Boat Cinema, located at Castaic Lake Headquarters, just a 30-minute drive from downtown Los Angeles.
You can rent a boat with up to five friends and enjoy a floating film experience. Prices start at $224 for general admission and $274 for VIP, which includes a front-row boat rental.

If boats aren’t your thing, bring your beach chair and take a seat on the sand for $20.
And what’s a movie night without snacks?
Bust out your favorite cheese and crackers for a $30 corkage fee or purchase a charcuterie box for two for $35. If you’re feeling extra hungry, you can buy a prepared picnic starting at $99, which includes sandwiches, sides, chips, dessert and sparkling water. Twelve-inch, made-to-order pizzas are also available for $25 each.
But wait, there’s more. A canoe concessions stand will be floating around, offering boat-side service.
