    Such a great experience with Electric Boat Rental! We brought along a sushi platter and pastries and spent the most relaxing afternoon out on the water. The whole process was super seamless--check-in was easy and we were cruising in no time. We really appreciated how dog-friendly they are, which made it even more enjoyable for us. The boats are beautiful too--very clean, modern, and clearly well taken care of. Definitely recommend for a fun, easy, and memorable day! We also posted a reel about it on instagram @maltipoo.kona

    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.

    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.

    We had an amazing time on our pink boat! The whole process and staff was very helpful. You can bring your own snacks, drinks and there is also speaker to connect music. Driving the boat was super easy if you have never done it, don't worry they explain it all! Parking is in the structure so plenty of parking. Lido is beautiful to have lunch afterwards too. Thanks for an amazing time E boat rental!

    I would highly recommend renting an electric duffy boat from here! It was so fun for our group of 6 girls and it was even better having an all pink boat. We did a two hour rental which was the perfect amount of time to make it around the harbor. Even with no experience with driving these types of boats, we were able to figure it out easily. It's also nice to be able to connect your phone via Bluetooth to the speakers on the boat so you can play your own music. You can also bring your own food and drinks. If you're prone to motion sickness, there were only a few moments where the boat got a little rocky. Overall this was a great experience!

    Wow what an AMAZING experience!! I had always wanted to go on a Duffy and I am glad that I went with Eboat rentals. My daughter turned 4 and we ended up getting the pink Duffy at their location in Ventura. The experience was beyond enjoyable - from the customer service, to checking, it was seamless and overall my entire family had great time (including our dog!) i highly recommend this company and we are already planning our next experience with them! Mariah was so helpful - thank you for the great time and being such a great help!

    I've rented an eboat here a few times and my friends and I always have the best time! The boats are easy to drive and the views are beautiful! The pink boat is my fav! Perfect for occasions or random boat day with friends! 10/10 recommend

    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!

    This was by far the worst whale watching tour I've ever taken. I've done whale watching multiple…read moretimes before -- in Boston and other locations -- and every other tour actually went out into deeper waters where whales are usually found. This tour, however, barely left the coastline. If whales could be seen that close to shore, I could have just stood on the beach and saved my money. The trip was advertised as 2 to 2.5 hours, but it only lasted about 1.5 hours. Most of that time was spent heading back toward the harbor, and then we sat near the harbor entrance for around 20 minutes just watching sea lions. I honestly don't understand why anyone should pay $50 per person just to look at something you can easily see from the shore. It felt misleading and disappointing. The boat never seriously attempted to go offshore, where whales are actually located. What made this even more frustrating was that I specifically asked the staff before booking whether we were likely to see whales, and they assured me we would. Do not waste your money on this tour.

    What a fun time! Captain Erica and Sarah were amazing hosts. The boat ride in and of itself is its…read moreown adventure. I love being on the open ocean, especially on a great boat. It just brings me so much joy. There were only 10 of us, which I think is a perfect amount of people for a tour like this, not too full. And Captain Erica drove us right to the action! We were in the middle of Minke whales, humpbacks, and fin whales! Fin whales are the second largest animal on earth! And gorgeous, so sleek. They taught us a lot about ocean life on the ride, I'll never forget this trip. And there were easily hundreds of dolphins and a few sea lions. My cortisol levels dropped to zero, for sure. It was an amazing time and I can't wait to do it again, I hope I'm lucky enough to get captain Erica and Sarah as my hosts then. (No pictures, because I was so in the moment! Next time!)

    Best experience I never knew I needed!…read more On July 18th, 2026, I went out on a boat with Captain Maria, First Mate Janelle, and Second Mate (photographer) Hannah. They were lovely, helpful, and gave good info. The boat was choppy, which I enjoyed, but I felt 100% safe the entire time. Of course, the main attraction was the dolphins (& sea lions); it was amazing. We must have seen at least 500 of them, jumping in and out, in Sync with the boat and each other. Earlier this year I completed one of the three items on my bucket list (yes, only three), which was to see the Aurora Borealis (In Lapland, Finland), and I have to be honest, today's experience topped that by far (also much less cold). To sum it up, thanks to Captain Maria, Janelle, and the lovely Hannah, I had the best experience I never knew I needed to experience! P.S. Item #2 was also completed earlier this year. P.P.S. Item #3 is still waiting (for 36 years now).

    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!
