With Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles combined commercial shipping business, Southern California ranks as one of the top ports in the United States.  Long Beach Municipal Marina system is the largest municipal marina in the United States, serving around 4,000 boaters with mooring space.  In addition, cruise ships carry thousands of passengers to exciting vacations from Long Beach, San Pedro and San Francisco, making the cruise industry one of the many reason Californians love their ocean-faring vessels.
