Had a wonderful experience with our 2-hour Duffy boat rental. Tyler, Ronnie, and Chuck were all great. The boat was clean, ran quietly and smoothly, operating and safety instructions were well presented by the team, and we felt valued as customers. Many thanks and a job well done!!

We had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday! Clean and enough room to seat 12 people easily. Will book again! Great time of year to see Christmas lights in Newport Harbor!

The experience was awesome!! The boat was clean and organized!! Very easy to drive and navigate. They also decorate with some pillows which makes it very cozy. I’m giving 4* because I think the host should be more receptive, nice and more welcoming. The guy was straight to the point. Since we are there to experience something different for the first time, I’d feel more comfortable if we were able to just have a nice conversation.

Good boat to have fun with friends or family. Best view to watch the sunset. One of the best experience being out on the boat to celebrate my birthday, especially with the help from the staff. 10/10 will do it again, the process was super easy.

We did the christmas light boat rental and it was amazing! Our boat was decorated and festive, all we brought was the food and drinks. It was our first time driving a boat and the crew explained everything very clearly. We had a blast.

For a unique and memorable birthday brunch, renting a Duffy boat from Newport Harbor Boat Rentals was the perfect choice! The entire experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish.

The staff was impeccable — incredibly friendly, professional, and well-prepared. They provided a thorough rundown of all the information we needed, making it easy to feel confident and relaxed while cruising the harbor. Their attention to detail and warm demeanor made the process seamless and enjoyable.

The Duffy boat we rented was spotless and beautifully maintained, offering a stylish, comfortable setting with plenty of room to enjoy food, drinks, and great company. With sunny skies and perfect weather, the views of Newport Harbor were nothing short of spectacular — a serene backdrop of luxury homes, yachts, and sparkling water that made for unforgettable photo opportunities.

Whether you’re planning a celebration or simply want to experience the charm of Newport Harbor from the water, I highly recommend Newport Harbor Boat Rentals. It’s an ideal way to make lasting memories, and I’ll definitely be returning for another perfect day on the water!

Wow. Amazing Team at Davey’s Locker. Wasn’t expecting our Duffy to be fully decorated for the Boat Parade. Local
to Newport and sometimes rentals aren’t the best. Boat was clean, no issues with steering and dock crew on point. Special shout out to Seth!

The Service: Tristan was assisting us at the check-in kiosk. Super friendly and attentive! He prepared the boat for us efficiently. He gave us details instructions how to operate the boat, safety information and even helped us to connect to Bluetooth so we could enjoy our boat ride with music. So thoughtful!

The Boat Ride: The boat is well maintained and clean. Very easy to operate. We could bring food and beverages onboard. Very fun and relaxing boat ride, perfect for a family outing! The kids absolutely love this. It's nice to see beautiful houses and all kinds of water sports on the water.

The Parking: Large parking lot right next to the pier. Less than 5 minutes walk to dock/check-in kiosk. Metered parking $3.5 per hour.

* It's a bit tricky to find the check-in kiosk since it's not very visible. When you see the Balboa Pavilion building, go towards the right side and walk to the back of the building. The check-in kiosk is right on the dock.
