Michael Turner at Edgewater Marina goes above and beyond, even on a Sunday Eight years ago, we bought our Duffy 22 from Michael -- and that purchase turned out to be the beginning of a relationship with someone who genuinely cares about his customers long after the sale. After leaving our boat untouched for six months, I ran into battery issues the day we needed it for a gathering with friends. I hit a wall troubleshooting online and took a chance calling Michael on a Sunday. Not only did he invite me to come by, but he already had the cables I needed waiting when I arrived. Rather than simply ringing up the sale, he walked me through the fix, explained the risks, and made sure I knew what to watch out for. When I discovered the damage was worse than expected -- acid corrosion on additional cables -- Michael had already left for the day, but still called into the shop so his colleagues could get me what I needed. He also answered my text messages asking him more questions. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful cruise with our friends that afternoon. It's genuinely reassuring to know that a knowledgeable, generous Duffy dealer is nearby -- not just when you're buying, but whenever you need real help. read more

Would totally come back here with a big group. The staff was super informative and friendly over the phone and the day of our excursion. We were a group of 10 and the largest duffy boat available was more than enough more to move around the boat and still be comfortable. We were able to bring our own food and drinks, which was perfect for the experience! Def check the weather before your booked day, it was a sunny perfect day in May and not windy at all which was definitely enjoyable! read more

Amazing experience! I was a bit hesitant at first due to the price, but it was absolutely worth every penny! As a first-timer, I found the boat incredibly easy to maneuver, which allowed me to fully relax and take in the beautiful views. I highly recommend renting "the Duffy" if you want to avoid getting sunburned! read more

For an island girl, I have never done this but when the opportunity arose it was exhilarating to be the captain on my "own" boat! Easy instructions, clean and safe boat, reasonable price, and everything made for a great experience. I definitely recommend and can't wait to do this again! read more

I rented a sun cruiser for a birthday celebration and we all had so much fun! Checking in was a breeze. Plenty of parking and a pleasant sitting area at the dock. Two hours was just enough time to enjoy being on the lagoon and have some drinks/snacks. I highly recommend this simple, but lovely experience with family and friends. read more

What an amazing experience. From booking to returning the boat; everything was perfect. A very relaxed, clean and well-kept facility with boats that were in superb condition. The staff were efficient and friendly, ensuring our daughter was safe and fitted with an appropriate life jacket. The electric boats were super easy to maneuver, and the comfortable seats and Bluetooth audio system were a really nice touch. Tons of parking at the nearby dog park. Will definitely be back. read more

We had an amazing time on the 22 foot duffy for Mom's Bday. the 2 hour rental was perfect and allowed us to tour the entire Foster City lagoon. Highly recommend! Mike was fantastic with all of the communication as well. read more

What a fun afternoon it was sailing the lagoon. Isabelle at the front desk was super helpful and got us started with waivers, rules & a map. They had lifejackets on site for children or any adult who may need one. We went with the 2 hour slot and really enjoyed ourselves. The boat was clean, steady and had bluetooth so you could play your music. Isabelle and what appeared to be the shop owner were at the dock to help guide us to parallel park the boat. Thank you edgewater marine for a unique experience! My kids loved it! read more

Clean, well maintained Duffy boat that ran very well. Good instructions, easy to drive. Lots of fun but bring your sunglasses and a jacket for the late afternoon rides. We enjoyed our beverages and snacks on board. We'll do this again! read more

Another great day out on the Foster City Lagoon with Edgewater Marine! These guys are truly the best. They make the entire process so easy and friendly. We scheduled a "lunch cruise" for our 10-person startup team and spent two lovely and leisurely hours cruising around the lagoon... enjoying good food, conversation, laughter, and music. We all work so hard throughout the week - the pressures we face are real and often stressful. It was nice to slow down and spend some time together outside of the office. Dennis from Edgewater Marine took great care of us. I highly recommend this company & experience! read more

The boat rental of the covered boat was so fun. We went with our family and had a great time. The rental for 2 hrs is perfect. Not too long or too short. I love how it was covered and had an uncovered area to sit for people that like being out in the sun. The seats are comfortable with a table inside. They really take good care of their boats and they are very clean. read more

Took my wife on a boat ride in Foster City and we absolutely loved the experience. We are definitely booking this again read more

We booked the 21' Duffy boat for Father's Day. It was beautiful out, a bit windy, but beautiful. The lagoon is calm and there weren't a lot of obstacles to look out for. We had 8 people and we all fit nicely in the boat. It was a really relaxing time. The boats are clean and in good condition. You can zip up the windows if it's too chilly/windy. There wasn't a cooler, but that's fine. I loved the little deck space. Next time, I think we'll opt for the 22' one so we can have a bench outside instead of just 2 seats. Overall, a lovely experience and reasonable rate! read more

If you are not buying or renting a boat, do not expect a call back. This has been going on a long time, yet Duffy keeps referring people to this business. The owner does not want to deal with anyone that is not buying or renting. He creates exorbitant prices so you don't want it. We have tried to work with him for years. It is time for Duffy to make a change. read more

Perfect experience, awesome service, friendly staff, can't recommend these folks enough!

Second time renting a Duffy here with a group of friends! This time we got the Duffy 22 and it is noticeably more spacious with wooden accents. Honestly I think both is fine but if you want a bit more space then for sure the 22. The staff were nice as always! We were actly ~30 mins late and since it was a slow day they were able to give us 30 min to make up for our lost time. We rly appreciated it. Such a great way to spend time with company and unique for celebrations! read more

Amazing experience for our first time. We will definitely be doing this again. Great way to spend a couple of hours with the family. read more

Today was another beautiful day in the Bay so when my husband called me and said he was only working half day we decided to go on a spontaneous lunch date. I met him near his job site in Foster city. We picked up Eric's deli for lunch and thought we would rent a boat so we looked it up on yelp and found a spot nearby which happened to be this place. Around 1:30pm our plan was to eat in the car however when we saw there was about 15 open picnic tables in front of the check-in location we sat there to have lunch before going inside and reserving the boat. As soon as we sat down to eat, a young lady came out and asked what we were doing there. I told her we're going to quickly eat and then go inside to rent a boat. She rolled her eyes at us and went back inside. We were confused but proceeded to eat. About 10 min later, an older man came out questioning us as well. He said the area is reserved for ppl waiting for a boat (not ONE person was waiting) , I explained to him our plan was to reserve one (which is why we were even there- there's a ton more water areas we could have chosen) but we wanted to eat first and he said "that's weird, most people reserve online" I told him it was a spontaneous decision but we can reserve it now if that's protocol. I then asked if he wanted us to leave. He said "well yes if you're not going to reserve one you can eat in the public park." I told him look, we'll leave, now I don't want to give you business anyway!" He said "yea I knew you guys weren't going to rent one anyway!" What's that supposed to mean? I guess what we explained to him totally went over his head? We are both of Latin descent and full of tattoos. I don't know if they felt threatened by us but being racially profiled and kicked off a location we were excited to try definitely ruined the fun day we were looking forward to. read more

Boat was ready for us on time and very Clean. It was a perfect day on the water. Highly recommend Edgewater Marine!

We rented the Duffy boat for my birthday and we had an awesome experience. My friends and I had an amazing time. We decorated the boat, and took tons of beautiful pictures while exploring the lagoon. Very friendly staff and accommodating. We will definitely be back again read more

It was our second rental from Edgewater Marine, this time it was a 21' Sun Cruiser Duffy Boat. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon to enjoy a delightful 'cruise' around the Foster City lagoon with our family. Operator is great and the boat was ready and super clean when we arrived. thank you team Edgewater. read more

Wow! Just Wow! This was the second time that I have been here. This time I was a host and not just a guest. Our group had an amazing time celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday. The staff at Edgewater are super friendly and accommodating. I can't wait to go again! read more

Rented the 12-seater for an afternoon putter around the marine/lagoon. Two hours was just perfect timing to see everything and get some fresh "sea" air. Staff was awesome and friendly. Great novel way to just chill with your friends! Bonus was catching the dragon boat races on Foster City Lagoon. read more

We booked the Duffy 22 sun cruiser for a recent birthday celebration. We had a wonderful time! Working with Dennis and Michael in making the reservation and on the day we went out was seamless and a pleasure. The boat was spotless and in good condition. We enjoyed a beautiful 2 hour evening on the lagoon with a desire to do it again in the future! read more

I had great time renting the retro boat. We spent two hours of fun time. I will try next time again, until I

Our family of 4 went out for a little cruise on Saturday afternoon. Really friendly staff, the boat was in great condition and easy to operate, and it was super fun to cruise around the neighborhood in the lagoons -- a hidden little gem in the Bay Area. Would do it again. read more

this is a very nice and a unique experience for everyone. My family and I had a wonderful time together. The boat ride experience and being able to drive the boat while experiencing the beauty of the surrounding landscaping of the different houses in Foster City was awesome! the price is very affordable. it was a very beautiful experience to have my grown up kids being able to celebrate my birthday amongst ourselves. A very relaxing experience: A good bonding time with my family. I will highly recommend this boat ride experience to everyone. you will never regret it. The 2 hour boat ride was enough to make you explore the whole Lagoon. You will see birds swimming and people kayaking safely with you. The Edgewater Marine attendant, Ever, was so helpful and very thorough with giving us instructions. I will do this Again! read more

Highly recommend!!! Please keep in mind the 2 hour rental starts at the booking time so show up on time. We showed up 20 min late and lost some boating time. Honestly didn't know what experience booking a duffy would be like when we first booked, it ended up being better than we expected! Not too many rules- you can pretty much bring what you want. The boat is big enough to fit at least 6 people- we had a couple of guys who are over 6 feet who enjoyed the seating no problem. Duffy was easy to steer, the lake was calm so nobody experienced any sickness. There was a table in the middle which made it easy to eat snacks. The duffy even has plastic windows you can button / velcro / zip which controls airflow and how much wind you want to experience. read more

We had a perfect day with our kids on the Duffy! Mike was awesome and got us on our way quickly. Highly recommend Edgewater Marine. We will definitely rent again! read more

Edgewater Marine - August 2023. Beautiful day for a cruise. - Boating Near Me - Foster City, California

We very much enjoyed our cruise. The boat was a perfect fit for our 10 people. The attendant was friendly and attentive. Will def be back. read more

So I liked this - we rented a boat for a Sunday cruise. The boat was clean, new and beautiful. The scenery around Leo Ryan park was amazing however I could have utterly skipped the rows and rows of houses. No knock on the company, they run a fabulous outfit. Our boat was sparkling clean and info was helpful. My only reservation is with the boredom and mild creepy feeling of looking in everyone's backyard in the lagoon. read more

We rented an electric boat from Edgewater over Thanksgiving weekend. We had 6 adults and 1 toddler, and we could all sit comfortably in the boat. We were impressed with how clean and new the boat was. My sister's boyfriend has a boat of his own, and he commented that it was very well-maintained. At first I thought 2 hours might be too long for my daughter (3 years old), but it went by quickly. We rented during the 9:30am time slot on Saturday and it worked out well for us. The water was quiet for the first hour but started to get more busy/crowded towards the end of our rental period. It can be a little difficult to navigate around swimmers/canoers when the water gets more crowded; however, overall it was easy to steer and use the boat. We brought our own snacks to enjoy on board. They provided life vests but you're also allowed to bring your own. Life vests were only required for children. This was a great outdoor activity during the pandemic, and I would highly recommend. read more

Spending time on the water is a great way to share a couple of hours of the day with friends and family. We are regular renters at Edgewater Marine! They do a great job, the fleet is clean and always in ship shape condition! read more

What a great experience. My wife and I rented a Duffy 21 for two hours to cruise around the lagoon, enjoy the sunshine and a delicious lunch. These guys are great, they have taken every step to ensure the safety and well-being of their customers. They wore masks, gloves and sanitize the entire inside of the boat after every use. Great job! The boats are extremely clean and you can tell that they are well maintained. Not a single rust or broken piece on any of the boats. A+ We definitely can't wait to bring our friends and family out onto the water. Again, thank you guys for such a fun experience. Looking forward to seeing you soon. read more

Excellent service and support from the owner, Michael. Beautiful setting inside the 10-people boat we rented, with seats around a comfy table with cup holders (good if waves or wind). Special added comfort offered if needed by the roll-down see-through covers, in case of wind. Good and simple to follow instructions to drive to boat. Plenty of time to enjoy the view and navigate. The experience was a "WAW" for the entire group (preteen boy inclusive :) ) read more
