We had the BEST time on the double decker pontoon boat for Mother's Day. The boat was spotless and seemed brand new. Even had a restroom on it which was a lovely surprise. Small bar sink to use as well with some countertop space which was nice. Captain Brian was AWESOME. He was professional, friendly, helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be doing this again and requesting Captain Brian. The teens in our group used the slide and the boat was comfortable and spacious. Great service and a very fun time! I don't think we can rent a Duffy again!! read more

My friend recommended this company, so I decided to check out their site. Booking was super easy and straightforward. I reserved the double-deck boat for my brother's birthday, and everything went amazing. As soon as we arrived, someone was there to guide us to the dock where we met our captain. Captain Rob was incredible, he texted us beforehand with clear instructions on where to go and what to expect, which made everything stress-free. During the ride, he shared interesting facts about the houses and people around the bay, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait to book again and hopefully have Rob as our captain! read more

We rented the double decker pontoon boat. It is a great boat for cruising around the harbor with friends and family. Very clean and tidy. Make sure to charter it with Capt Rob who provides great history of the area even for a local SoCal resident. Thank you Copt Rob for the great day read more

Very cool and chill experience. Chandler and Bryan were really awesome and accommodating

This was our third time booking with OC Boat Rentals, and once again, Captain Steve made it an unforgettable experience for our local work team. The boat itself is incredibly comfortable -- the cozy fireplace is such a nice touch, especially for evening cruises, and the sound system is great. Steve always encourages us to hook up our own music via Bluetooth, which makes the whole ride feel personal and fun. Captain Steve is truly the highlight of the trip. He has the best stories, knows every house and landmark in the harbor, and somehow makes each outing feel both relaxing and entertaining. It's rare to find someone who brings this level of energy and knowledge every single time. Can't recommend this experience enough -- we'll definitely be back for a fourth round! read more

They have a few different duffy boats. One is really nice and new looking. It has a much more luxious look with the carmel leather interior. The other duffy boats are a bit old and tired looking. I considered other Duffy boat rental places and ultimately chose OC boat rentals because they had the really nice new duffy boat. I was willing to pay more for it. So I booked it. On my booking i nvoice it even shows the beautfiul new duffy that they show on their site. When we got to the boat place.... they gave us one of the old and tired looking boats. I was really upset. I paid more and went with this commpany because of the beautiful duffy they advertised! It felt like a bait and switch. Then when it came to driving the boat.....Our duffy boat was in full throttle almost the whole trip and we were definately the slowest boat out there. All the other duffy boats were passing us. We drove 2 hours and it was father's day so we went on the boat. It was a beautiful sunny day to be on the water so that was nice. I wouldn't rent from this company again. read more

Wonderful first time experience with OC Boat Rentals! Rented their double decker pontoon boat with slide for my daughter's birthday celebration with friends around Newport Harbor. OC Boat Rentals had great communication, office promptly answered any questions I had. Really cool boat, spacious and equipped with restroom, extensive seating for our large group. We also especially appreciated our Captain Rob's friendliness, hard work and attention to detail, making sure the girls had a fun time with paddle boards, lilly pads, etc. He was an awesome captain and we will definitely rent with OC Boat Rentals again! read more

Todd was super helpful and provided the best send off to our sunset sail. Would recommend.

Wrote on the 9:00 p.m. harbor lights boat cruise on New Year's Eve. I have been on your boats many times, but this captain and tour guide was outstanding. He knew all about the homes and the islands and described them so well for the out-of-town tourists. It was a great experience on not a great night.... It drizzled the whole time. But he made it fun. read more

What a great experience thanks to OC Boat Rentals. The location was very convenient, parking was easy, communication was clear, and our contact Bryce was fantastic! Will use OC Boat Rentals again in the future. read more

We could not be more than happy and thankful to Captain Austin. We were greeted by a friendly young lady (I wished I would have written down her name) then introduced to our captain Austin. We proceeded to walk to the and load in the boat. We were shown around, we were told the do's and don'ts. The boat was very well kept and cleaned. Our captain informed us that we could get in the water should we wish to (unfortunately none of us were ready/dressed for it). We are able to take our coolers, food, and sang karaoke (our apologies for that again)! We were a group of 11 females!! We were happy, we were loud, we danced, we sang. We enjoyed our time. I will come back with my family! Definitely recommend booking Austin. read more

Amazing time! Bryce was great and gave us amazing customer service! Can't wait to come back!

Enjoyed a relaxing cruise through Newport Harbor with OC Boat Rentals. Our amazing captain and tour guide, Captain Joe made the ride entertaining, informative and fun. Spent 2hrs sightseeing and learning about the Newport islands, Harbor, Lido, and Balboa. As a real estate investor, I was amazed by the price points of the massive, custom built homes along the coast. $60M was the entry point for what looked like a 3bdr/2ba shack recently listed. Unbelievable! We saw sea lions, and a pair of dolphins that passed by the boat and simultaneously devoured a beautiful arranged charcuterie board served with an assortment of beers, shelters and Prosecco! Great team activity with the work crew and a beautiful day well spent on the water. Definitely recommend this company and would do it again. read more

Me and my husband and our two kids and their two friends decided to do a two hour rental with OC boat rentals on the pontoon with the slide - we had such an amazing time out on the water! The kids loved the slide and jumping off the boat, I loved hanging out and listening to music and getting to know our Captain Steve! I will definitely be back with my girlfriends and I highly recommend doing this with your friends or family! It's very affordable, especially on weekdays. Thank you, Captain Steve and OC Boat Rentals! read more

Great job, great boat! Thank you Kyle for helping me and my family have a wonderful experience.

I could not be more than happy and thankful to Captain Steve @ OC boat rentals. I booked Steve's two level pontoon boat with water slide, to celebrate my son's 12-year birthday with his friends. Kids and parents were super excited as they jumped or slides into the bay from the boat. This boat is the only one, if not one of the two, pontoon boat with water slide in Newport Beach. Steve inflated a few water toys for the kids, which made them even happier. He also taught my son how to fish in the bay. We will come back next time. We definitely recommend Captain Steve and his OC boat rentals! read more

I got to experience OC Boat Rentals' Duffy Boats in Tuesday evening 6/10 during a corporate team event. We rented 4 boats for a two-hour guided cruise. I was lucky enough to end up on Steve's boat - he was a fantastic guide. The boat was beautifully set up with charcuterie and beverages for us to enjoy during our cruise. It was outfitted to be able to be fully enclosed or open to accommodate the weather/temperature. Everyone was very comfortable. Our captain, Steve was full of fun little facts about Newport Beach, Newport Harbor, the local flavors & residents and Orange County in general. His diverse background and kind demeanor meant he easily connected with everyone on the cruise. The occupants of the other boats also reported very personable captains on their boats. I highly recommend this company if you want to enjoy a good time on the water. read more

We had a great time, boat was perfect size & ready to go when we booked. Awesome communication too, as we called twice for adjustments. Will book again read more

Had a really great experience with OC Boat Rentals. Kyle was so friendly and gave clear directions, so everything was easy and stress-free. Definitely would go again. The boat was super nice and had a built-in speaker which made it even better. read more

We had an amazing experience on the double-decker pontoon boat for my daughter's birthday. Booking was easy, staff was very easy to work with as it related to updating reservations. We took a group of eight teenagers out for a harbor cruise and they had the time of their lives, listening to music playing on the slide and swimming in the harbor. I highly recommend doing a three hour rental whether you are a local or a visitor of Newport Beach. Most importantly, though, I was truly touched by Captain Steve who is also the owner OC boat rentals. At first, we just thought we had an energetic and happy captain who would make the day a blast (which he did), but as the day went on, we were inspired by his life story and the entrepreneurial journey of the company. He is truly an example of the American dream. He is an amazing human being, has an unbelievable life story, makes the day super fun, and is someone who my wife and I both were very touched by and we really felt the need to post publicly (which I've never done before) to show our support and help him grow his business in any way we can. I will absolutely use them in the future and would always recommend them to friends. read more

We had an amazing time with OC boat rentals. The boat was perfect for celebrating a 70th birthday. Cursing the harbor was amazing! But real highlight was anchoring and taking full advantage of the slide! Captain Steve was a lot of fun and made sure that everyone was having fun. He also had some great stories and history about some of the iconic mansions that line the harbor. I highly recommend OC boat rentals. Very friendly, very accommodating, very professional!!! Pro tip: take advantage of the valet parking at Billy's. Cost a little extra but you get to pull right up to where the boats dock. read more
