    We had the perfect family Valentine's Day cruising around Newport Beach with EBoat Rental. Their boats are modern, spotless, and incredibly enjoyable to ride. We chose the red and white boat it was stylish, comfortable, and contemporary. Such a fantastic way to spend time together and take in the beauty of the harbor! Booking was seamless thanks to Mariah, who made the entire process quick and easy. If you're looking to explore Newport Beach in style, I highly recommend EBoat Rental!

    We are in the boat club (grandfathered in from when we first joined the membership 4 or 5 years ago and it was owned by a different company). My observation: * The staff ranges from very sweet and accommodating to rude and snobby. * They validate parking if you park in the nearby structure (just a couple of dollars off but it's better than nothing). * The ropes they provide are very short to tie off * Amazing location next to Nobu and other delicious restaurants. You can also dock at The Cannery, The Dock, Shorebird, etc. In short, I love having this Duffy membership. It's expensive but I love the convenience of not owning our own boat.

    I rented a boat for my birthday and it was the smoothest experience ever! Everything was set up, prepared, and easy to navigate. The sweet woman in the office & the nice man at the dock were both very kind and helpful. Northgate market catered, and they were fabulous! One of the best birthdays ever! The boat was even pink! The boat was quieter than any other Duffy I had been on and easy to track with their maps of the harbor.

    They are amazing. This was my second time renting a Duffy from them and it's been amazing everytime. Last night we had a 30th bday on the boat and they were amazing, the balloons they did for us were beautiful. Nick at the dock was welcoming and kind. He just had the best vibe. 10/10

    Have your beach set up ready a five minute walk from your boat rental. Call Beach Bros sharing or EB Rentals for more information.

    Wonderful day on the harbor celebrating a milestone birthday. The check in process was smooth and easy. The crew helped us load coolers and food onto the boat and was super friendly and fun to interact with as we boarded and left the boat and dock. Highly recommend this for a fun day on the water. Thank you EB Rental.

    we were graced by a seagull who decided to poop before exiting off lol no poop pic to follow, it was pretty gross lol

    Came here again in May (I believe). This is my 3rd time coming here, another with a different group. Since being my 3rd time I figured no need for insurance...boy was I wrong! All was well until there were so many windsurfers going by and I had to stop the boats engine but then bumped into a pole (thankfully not the surfers or a boat!). In the front of the boat is a ring, that is what got dinged by the bump. It bent to the side but not even by a lot, but I totally understand they have to keep their boats on good condition. The original charge was pretty hefty and due to their understanding they brought it down but still was pretty hefty, but I appreciate the adjustment (after the adjustment it came out to be an additional $700+ for the damage, give or take I believe). The photo with the seagull is from our first trip and the photo with the red circle is for reference of where the damage was on the boat. Unfortunately, due to this last experience it will be my final experience going here.

    See all

    Ask the Community - EB Rental

    Can you have more than 10 people per boat?

    Each one of our models only holds up to 10 passengers maximum, including small children and infants. In order to ensure all guests' safety, no more than 10 are allowed onboard at any time.

    How far out can you drive the boat?

    You get to use the boat in the bay The loop takes approximately 2 hrs and the water is very calm… 

    What is the parking situation? I know this area is always busy!

    We validate for 2 hours in the main structure (the large, white building you see right when you turn into the Village) but recognize on weekends, especially during the summer, it can get full. We recommend circling around a few times as it does… 

    Do we drive the boat or do they have one of their workers drive it?

    You are the captain of your own ship! Our staff does not drive the boats but does provide a thorough rundown before you leave our docks so you're comfortable with operation.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes! All pets are welcome aboard, there is a $25 cleaning fee per animal that can be added at the time of booking or check-in! We love seeing your furry friends.

    Does anyone know if we can bring food and drinks?

    Yes, you can bring both in, alcohol as well

    Can anyone tell me why the balloons are so expensive????"?

    Our balloon garlands are large in size and require many balloons to achieve the look; they are priced accordingly. It also takes our in-house artists time to craft all of our garlands, which are completely customizable to any guest's preference! We… 

    Does anyone know if the employees wear masks, or if they have any protocol for sanitizing between customers?

    When we were there they all wore bandanna masks and they cleaned every boat before the 10am reservations and when we returned the boat we saw them go on and clean them!

    An Absolutely Incredible Experience!…read more We had the most amazing time with Newport Coastal Adventure! Captain Dave and Sarah were absolutely wonderful--friendly, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They got us out to a pod of dolphins so quickly and efficiently, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Then, thanks to their years of experience and expertise, they managed to find not just one, but THREE whales in such a short amount of time! It was truly an unforgettable experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Newport Coastal Adventure to anyone looking for a unique and exciting adventure on the water. It was well worth the money and so much more personal than being on one of the large, crowded whale-watching boats. The smaller group made the entire experience feel intimate, comfortable, and special. This is such a fun adventure for the whole family, and Captain Dave and Sarah made the experience even better with their professionalism, and wonderful personalities. Five stars all the way! We will definitely be back!

    Located at the Dana Point Harbor, Capt Dave has dedicated parking lot. No bathrooms in the building…read morebut 2 bathrooms a skip away. They depart from the building towards the boat 15 mins beforehand so they want you to check in 30mins before (and on weekends/holidays, check in 45mins before). The boat departs on time at the scheduled time, so make sure you are here in the building 15-30mins before your booked time. We booked at 1pm and that's when the boat left the dock. We were gathered at the office at 12:45 to head towards the boat and unfortunately a couple missed their slot because they were not even in the parking lot at 1pm when the boat sailed. Don't make their mistake, just make sure you are parked at least 15mins before the booked time. They were willing to wait 5 mins, but not 30 mins, so timeliness from guests is important as we had almost 30 people on board. As you are led from the building to the boat, they have a pit stop at the bathroom as they warned that the boat's bathroom that can't take toilet paper and can easily clog. Unfortunately the ocean waters was unusually warm when we booked on 7/03 for whale/dolphin sighting so we didn't see any but they have a sighting guarantee so they gave us all a voucher to come back again for free. They gave out a delicious brownie at the end too, so I'm excited to come back for the brownie!

When we arrived at the harbor, we went upstairs to check in and got the passes to get on the boat. The staff was super friendly at check-in and on the boat (Capt. Matt, 1st mate, Mike, and photographer, Andy.) Everything about the experience was well-organized. The boat was clean and comfortable so it was an enjoyable ride. We saw about 400 dolphins and 1 humpback whale! It was such an enjoyable excursion! I would recommend you bring your own snacks and/or drinks on board if you don't have a chance to eat beforehand, since snacks and drinks are not provided on the 2.5 hour 8 am tour. There is a small snack shack upstairs where you check in if you forget to bring things to eat and drink. I would recommend this tour and would go back.
