    Entrance

    Best boat rentals in the area. Lots of other fun things to check out. Friendly staff and best price in town. We come here a couple of times a year. Easy to navigate the boats and get a hold of everything. Highly recommended

    Absolutely fantastic customer service. I had bought a Groupon, and Nicole was so incredible in helping me navigate the return and booking directly with them to get the time slot I wanted. She was able to help me get a lower price by booking directly with them and with cash. The boats are well maintained, and very well priced at about $180 for 1.5 hours for 8 people! It comes with a built in speaker, and it was a phenomenal experience cruising by the bay and also seeing a seal!

    Thank you Troy, from Newport Fun Tours for taking good care of us while we enjoyed our Duffy ride. We had a terrific girls night out while.... Celebrating our Beach Bookies book club friend Kelly Lozano #KellyLozanoArt

    The boats were super clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, which made the whole outing even better. Pricing was very reasonable, especially for the quality. The biggest win was that they were able to get us in last minute on a cancellation list for the Christmas Boat Parade. Huge shoutout for that. On top of it all, the staff was friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with from start to finish. You can tell they actually care about their guests having a good time. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, stress-free way to enjoy Newport Harbor, especially during the holidays. AND, they even deck the boats out in Christmas lights!! We've rented before from y'all and will continue every time we're in town. Thanks again!!!!

    Newport fun tours is the cleanest, most efficient locations I had had the pleasure of renting from. Troy was a gem and we can't wait for the next adventure!

    Very easy to reserve! Customer service always flexible when booking our evening duffy rentals. Knowledgeable and friendly attendants that guide us with boarding, docking and exiting. Harbor map was helpful.

    We had such an amazing time renting an Electric boat from Newport Fun Tours! From the moment we checked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made everything super easy. Tabitha is very friendly and helpful! They walked us through how to operate the boat, offered great route suggestions, and made sure we were comfortable before heading out. The Boat was spotless, comfortable, and ran perfectly -- ideal for cruising through Newport Harbor. We brought some snacks ( wine) and music, and it was the most relaxing way to spend the afternoon. The scenery was gorgeous, and the whole experience felt effortless and fun. Highly recommend! I would give 7 stars.

    We had an amazing experience with Newport Fun Tours and their electric boat rental in Newport Harbor. The boat was clean, easy to operate, and incredibly relaxing to cruise around the harbor. The staff gave clear instructions and made the whole process smooth from check-in to departure.

    What an amazing experience taking a Duffy out with Newport fun tours for my birthday! A must do, 2 hrs to see the whole Harbor. Ty NFT -OC_LOLO

    We've rented the Duffy boat multiple times while visiting Newport. We've always had a great experience!! Definitely recommend these guys!!

    Amazing time cruising the bay with friends. The service is always top notch. It was a beautiful day and the boats are always clean and ready to go.

    Family

    Another perfect day spent with my family on a Duffy boat at Newport Fun Tours. We enjoy ourselves every time we come. The staff are very friendly, courteous and professional. They always assist my husband, who uses a walker, get into the boat, thus allowing him to enjoy the ocean. Because of their assistance, we created the best memories with my children/grandchildren. I encourage you to take time with your family to create memories, and Neport Fun Tours is the way to do just that.

    This is always so much fun to do The boats are always clean and the help is always great. Don't miss out on this.

    Family fun on the electric boat!

    Ask the Community - Newport Fun Tours

    Does anyone know the dimensions of the table in the middle of the boat?

    Roughly speaking 1 ft wide x 3 ft long. There's a total of four cup holders built into the table, two on each end.

    Do the electrical boats have bathrooms?

    No, unfortunately they do not. There are restrooms near docking area.

    How late in the day can you rent a duffy?

    7pm

    What are all parking options?

    Meters parking or in parking structure that's all. If you book 90 min tour you are looking at $14 for parking in structure

    Will they allow 9 people on the 8person boat?

    Absolutely not! Newport Beach harbor rules dictate that I. Ly 8 souls can be on an 8 person boat. Even babies. We do have 12 person boats however. In most cases it’s just a $20 different but not all cases

    Are they still in business? I've called for over a week to try to reserve a boat (and use my groupon) but their voicemail inbox is full. I'm getting very frustrated bc I had wanted to take people visiting us on a Duffy ride. Any help is appreciated.

    The same thing has happened to me and I can not get through at all. I've been calling for three weeks now, left voicemails and sent emails and I'm getting no response. I got through once and was put on hold only to be hung up on. I've used this… Read more

    What is the best way to contact/book a reservation if you have a Groupon?

    When i wanted to get a groupon i called them FIRST to make sure the date i wanted to go was eligible to use the Groupon. They were able to honor the groupon price without me having to physically buy the groupon!!… Read more

    Can we bring pets into the kayaks?

It did take a bit to get the premium bar menu to review - and I really wanted good champagne on the yacht to be served all night long, but they only had prosecco and we weren't able to work together to order nice bottles ahead of time. There was a 2 bottle maximum that was allowed to be brought on board with a $35 corkage - but they allowed me a few more bottles on board which was nice. But would have been nice to know ahead of time vs the day before. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond - but service was professional, courteous. Drinks for the premium bar were definitely on par with CA prices. They provided a list of caterers and for my milestone where I wanted French food - recommended Tom's Catering. He has been doing food on board for 20+ years and the food was PHENOMENAL. Guests devoured the food and everything was absolutely delicious. Boat has 3 levels and was able to fit the party nicely. The main floor had the bar and upstairs is where we played games. all in all - everyone had a lovely time, nobody got sea sick.

Their team was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to help coordinate every detail. They assisted me in arranging a meaningful military tribute, including having members of the Army present for a flag folding ceremony and the playing of Taps at the end of the day. Every element was handled beautifully - from the roses to the full-service yacht experience. The office staff was equally helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Everything about this experience was first class, and I would highly recommend Pradiso Charter to anyone looking for exceptional service and care Thank You All Jerry F.

    Oh man I never published this review.. this is from our booking on Nov 26, 2025…read more. Fantastic experience from start to finish! Decided to surprise my wife with a relaxing duffy boat ride for our wedding anniversary with some friends. Went straight to Yelp to do my research (thanks Yelp!). Originally, I was going to book with a rental company for Newport Harbor, but then came across a Groupon for PCH Electric Boats. After checking out their website and reading the glowing reviews on Yelp, I immediately booked. I called to book a white duffy boat on the day before Thanksgiving. The person on the phone was friendly, courteous and really easy-going. They asked if I had a Groupon and if I could provide the voucher number. BOOM. done. all set! I received an email with VERY DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS (including photos) of where to park and where the meeting area was. Additionally, a link to the waiver form that every passenger is required to fill out (even your babies) was included in that email. On the day of our booking, we were met by the owner Grant who I'm pretty sure was the same friendly, courteous and easy-going person I talked to on the phone days earlier when I booked. He provided specific instructions on where we're allowed to go and what to avoid. He saw we had several small children in our party and recommended everyone use the restroom nearby before boarding since there is not place to stop out in the harbor. After we came back from our potty break, Grant lead us down to the dock and got all the kiddos fitted for their life vests (all in great condition btw). He assisted us with our bags so we could focus on boarding the kids safely and even took a group photo for us! The boat was clean and easy to drive. The sound system was bumping and all the windows easily lifted up for that nice harbor breeze. It was a beautiful and memorable day. On our return, Grant was at the dock with one of his employees ready to receive us. He guided us in smoothly and as we were gathering our belongings and cleaning up, he helped all the kids out and grabbed our bags. We handed Grant a tip and immediately he passed it over to his employee who was going to do the post-ride cleaning.. what a great boss!!!! Definitely will be booking with PCH Electric Boats again! Thanks Grant!!!!
