We took a tour with Captain Johnny this weekend! Awesome experience. Great energy and took us to a spot where we followed a pod of a 100 dolphins for about an hour. Can't recommend him and Baywatch Charters enough! read more

Captain Jonny was honestly the reason this trip was so good. We've rented boats before, but having someone who's personable, experienced, and genuinely enjoys what he does makes a huge difference. He made everyone feel comfortable right away, answered all of our questions, and knew the harbor inside and out. You can tell he cares more about everyone having a great experience than just getting through another charter. He pointed out cool spots around Newport, had some great stories, and never made anything feel rushed. It was just a really relaxing afternoon on the water. If you're booking with Newport Beach Baywatch Boat Charters, definitely ask for Captain Jonny. He's professional, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We'd book with him again without even thinking twice. Highly recommend. read more

We had so much fun on a 3 hr charter with Captain Ben! We wanted to go out in the ocean and he took us to find dolphins who were jumping and playing in our wake. We also saw seals and went to a beautiful swim/snorkel spot where the visibility was at least 40 feet and the water was very warm. We swam (we brought floaties which were a must) and we could see huge fish swimming below us even without masks. The boat was very comfortable and nice and we had a great time. read more

Booked a 2 hour cruise around the harbor for 7/11/23 and can't say enough how much my fiancé and I enjoyed it. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary and I surprised him with this and it was perfect. Jeremy, our boat captain, was awesome. He was waiting for us right above the dock when we arrived a few minutes after our designated time (we were a little late because of traffic). We still ended up getting 2 full hours and the weather was perfect. We brought our own wine and a nice charcuterie to enjoy. Jeremy provided some nice sailing music & even let us play our own music when we wanted. Everything was serene. Weather was perfect. I'd definitely recommend them to any and everyone looking to book on the water for any occasion or just because. Cannot wait to book with them again and bring some friends along next time. Looking forward to it for sure. read more

Great service. Fun captain. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Get the 4 hour time slot at a minimum. Possibly 6. Worth every dollar.

Had an amazing time on the cruise out to Emerald Bay! We went on the center console boat and it was very stylish, fast, and clean.

It was the highlight of our charter! 10/10- I definitely recommend BayWatch if you're looking for a fun and memorable thing to do in Newport! read more

Advertising quoted " captain included" in the price. The reality was they wanted 0ver $400 for the captain before we could leave the dock on the day of our cruise. Attempts to get reimbursement resulted in being stonewalled. This is not an operation that should be in business. read more

The owner, Cody took us for the ride of our small inadequate lives. Made us feel like a million bucks for a reallllly cheap price. His boat was super luxury while also being a wet and wild time.
