I had a small hiccup with my reservation, but Cassandra stepped in like a total pro. She was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making it right and providing alternative options. From the moment she reached out, I felt taken care of. You could tell she wasn't just checking a box -- she truly wanted us to have a great time. The team definitely made up for the initial mistake, and I walked away more impressed than I would've been if everything had gone perfectly. If you're thinking about booking with them -- do it. And if you get lucky enough to work with Cassandra, you're in amazing hands!

First experience on the Tiki boat for a large group gathering. Severely disappointed for the…read morefollowing reasons: 1. Each person paid a hefty price for a dinner cruise that never left the dock. 2. The boat is so old it can't even handle being in unstill water. 3. Main floor is extremely hot with no air, cross breeze or circulation. 4. Main floor is very old and dingy looking. I rated it a "3" because an attempt to make things right, by not leaving the dock, they allegedly upgraded us from the bottom shelf alcohol to top shelf. Plus the food was actually pretty good and so was the DJ. I am unconvinced that this boat should even be in business still after our experience.

We recently celebrated our kid's 15th birthday party on the Tikiboat…read more We booked it for 3pm on a Sunday for 50 guests, and had about 45 guests show up. The pros: * Great music, DJ kept the party lively and played requests. *The food (we opted for the Mexican food option) was actually tasty. It included nacho chips, quesadillas, flautitas, and chicken hard shell tacos. Toppings: guac, crema, salsa. Paper plates, napkins, and disposable utensils were all included. Obviously, right? * The staff was chill and helpful The meh: Since this is an honest review, I must include the following. * The boat is dated. It's more like the Krusty Krab than a fancy yacht. * The boat is dingy and not as clean. It could use a good vacuuming, deep cleaning of the rugs and all surfaces. Some fresh paint could help. New tables and chairs too. It definitely needs TLC! * Not sure what happened but 30 kids and 15 adults went through the food quickly. A few of us had very little to eat and by the time we went for more, the food was gone. No left overs. In summary, we had a great experience just wish the boat had a nicer look inside and more cleanliness. If your looking to host an informal even and just want to have a great time, this is the right boat for you. I wouldn't recommend it for an upscale, black tie event. Ps I think 65 people max is a good upper limit if you want to still be able to dance. We had a GREAT time!

They were clean though and the staff was pleasant and helpful. If you want a nicer boat, rent from Duffy directly. I went with Newport Rental Boats because they were the least expensive option, and had a 1.5 hour option for $150 cash. Duffy cost about $20 per hour more. I recommend the 2 hour plan, as 1.5 hours flew by too quickly.

These are all words to describe our experience after spending a three hour excursion with Captain Stewart and his Co-Captain! For any occasion or event this Yacht and Crew will cater to your needs. Our experience was immortalized and will go down in history as one of the greatest days of our lives. We had a celebration on Valentine's Day and Captain Stewart was able to accommodate. Plenty of nice restaurants to stop at along the way, scenic views galore, and we even saw dolphins. Sea lions were hanging out buoys. Honestly nothing short of memorable and we went in the off-season so the pricing was reasonable considering the location of Newport Beach and it's counterparts. Master of his craft. I hardly write Yelp reviews but this local business deserves every complementary word. In short, Captain Stewart and his team are professionals that have been in the industry. The man has studied the ocean, waters and all it encompasses so you are in great hands. His degree and certification are evident through his extensive knowledge. Don't let the opportunity pass you up, take a chance on the waters and let the beautiful ocean be your path to a new adventure. Thank you again and we look forward to another trip in the future.
