It's located in beautiful Point Loma right next to Point Loma Seafoods (definitely recommend going there) on a nice dock with festive decorations and lots of photo ops. Note that parking here is a little difficult especially during summer and weekends but they do make it very clear on their website and provide different areas to park. I really want to note that the staff are so friendly and helpful and love dogs! Directions were very clear and they gave us a Bluetooth speaker free of charge. The boat itself was very clean and comfortable, not to mention easy to operate. My dog loved his first boating experience and wants to return! Maybe we will try the peddle boats next since this time we did the motorized boat. Thank you Eco Boats, you are an admired business in San Diego!

It was pretty easy to move the boat by paddling. It took less the 15 minutes and o get to the opening of the marina. The staff was helpful, and the boats are clean. You can get an amazing picture of San Diego from the opening of the marina. If you are looking for something fun to do on the water you should try this.

There…read morewere 12 of us on the boat, and it didn't feel overcrowded--everyone had a spot to relax and enjoy. When we first arrived, most of us needed to use the restroom (since there isn't one on the boat), and the girl working at check-in seemed a bit annoyed by that. However, once we got on the boat, she was totally fine and helpful. A few things to note: someone in your group does have to drive the boat, so plan ahead for that. You can bring your own 21+ drinks as long as they're not in glass containers, and you'll need to bring your own ice. Once you're out on the water, it's pretty lively with lots of other boats and people. We played our own music and just hung out--it was a really fun, chill experience. The two hours definitely go by fast, so keep an eye on the time. They're strict about going over, even by a minute, so we set a timer and started heading back 30 minutes before our end time. Overall, a fun and unique experience we'd recommend!

If you're even thinking about booking a hot tub boat, stop thinking and just DO IT--especially with…read morethis company! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly warm even with the breeze on the water. It's not every day you get to combine luxury, adventure, and pure relaxation all in one, but, what truly made the day unforgettable was the amazing service. Huge shout-out to Kyle - he was fantastic! Super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we were having a memorable experience for my friends bachelorette party. Do not be discouraged by the other ratings on this site, I highly, highly recommend and think this is the perfect addition to any plan in San Diego. It will create a lifetime memory. Plus you get to see Sea Lions on your way out!

There isn't even a proper building--just a sandwich board where you stand around waiting for someone to show up. No one seemed to know what was going on. We asked a couple of nearby businesses for help, and they clearly were not fans of this company or the constant questions about it. We still ended up having a nice day on the water, but for the price, these boats should be much better maintained. The cup holders were filthy, the floor was filthy, the seats were filthy, and the inside walls looked like something had been splattered all over them. It was really unfortunate.

The guys at the dock also make everything so fun--with jokes and just being warm and making the kids feel welcome. He taught my daughter how to tie a half-hitch and let her tie the boat up at the end and was so sweet and patient. (bring cash for a little tip if you want!) The boats themselves are so fun and so easy to drive. Mission Bay (technically sail bay) is super calm and easy to navigate. We did 90mins today but we wish we had done 3hrs. If the weather is nice it goes by really fast. Highly recommend the Duffy experience and SDEBR! Just go! Have fun! And if you're worried about operating the boat, it's super simple. So don't be intimidated. Even if you don't have a lot of experience on the water.

The service level was outstanding and all team members were very welcoming and accommodating. The food - the 3 course meal was great and was not rushed (this was very much welcomed). We had opted for the cocktail package and we were glad we did (if having more than two drinks, it makes good financial sense). During the cruise they have a DJ and open a dance floor. This is a good addition - we stopped by a few times waiting for a slow dance, but unfortunately we were not able to catch one. All 'n all, a great mini romantic getaway that helps you "forget about life" for a while and focus on what is truly important! We definitely plan on a revisit in the future!

Something to note is that there is only one park, so big dogs are combined with small ones. Theres a small obstacle course for dogs to jump and run through. And for the humans, there's also a few benches on the side to sit at.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

He also has a Bluetooth speaker so you can create your own playlist or throw on some of your favorite tunes. When booking a private charter, I think the personality of the Captain is pretty important, especially knowing you'll be on a small vessel together! I can tell you that Keith is super friendly and one of the most laid-back guys I've ever met. He's totally down to have conversation with you, teach you the basics of sailing (which I can tell is a passion of his!), or let you sit back and enjoy the ride.
