Voyagers is probably the more affordable Duffy boat rentals around and it was so easy to book and drive for two hours. We will be back again. We thought we lost something on the boat and the guys helped us look for it. The location is very easy to get to as well. read more

Great experience! They pier staff were extremely helpful! We are a group with health issues/mobility issues and the guys helped everyone to board, placed our cooler/food on board, helped us navigate from pier and helped with everything when disembarking. Their pier is located close to public bathrooms and a market so last minute needs are close. Duffy was clean and ready to go......We will definitely go again.... read more

Great location right by the ferry on balboa island. Always on time, clean and ready to go!!

We had a wonderful day on the water thanks to Voyagers. The Duffy was clean and ready to go. Jeff and Joe were great host! We will be back! read more

We rented a 2-hour duffy boat ride for a party of 12 over the Christmas holiday. We were staying on Balboa Island and Voyagers' storefront is on the island, right next to the ferry dock. Booking the rental was very easy through the website. The fees and rules are clearly posted on the site and we encountered no surprises. After booking the reservation, we received a link where everyone driving could fill out the waiver form in advance. That made the rental process so much easier and FASTER. We arrived at the dock and after a safety presentation, we were out on the water in no time! The boat was in great condition and we were all comfortable inside. We had a wonderful time with family and would rent from this same company again. read more

Another 5 star rating for Voyagers. We use Voyagers several times a year, we never had any issues. I highly recommend Voyagers for your next Duffy boat rental. read more

Our group had such an amazing time on the water thanks to Voyagers. I was a little nervous to captain the duffy, but Joe was so patient and helped me feel like a pro. We will definitely rent with them again. read more

It was fine, but not great. The Duffy itself was okay, but a bit worn down--the Bluetooth stopped working after the first 15 minutes, and the pickup location was hard to find. We'd likely look elsewhere next time, as there are nicer options in the area. read more

Thank you Voyagers family business for an incredible night for me and my family for the light parade. Voyagers equipment is not only clean and nice but the business employees including the owner. Joe couldn't have been more helpful. read more

Wow, what a wonderful Team Building Event. Love LuAnn and her team for always being ready. Weather was great and the company was amazing. If you want to have a nice, relaxing day on the water, contact Voyagers and prepare to be impressed! read more

Jeff was really helpful and friendly. the location was great. It's on balboa island so unless you came from that side, park on the other side, take a ferry across. Go with your car, bike, or walk for a couple dollars; cash only. It's part of the experience. 1.5-2 hours is plenty to do the loop. You may get slowed down if there's a lot of wind. I'm not sure how they'd charge for that. It's at a great location where the ferries go back and forth. It gets rocky as you go toward the ocean so don't go too far out. No bathroom in the Duffy so don't drink too much or you won't enjoy yourself read more

We had a great Mother's Day. Parking was surprisingly easy and traffic was not bad. Colby gave us great hospitality. We will be back.

Out of all the duffy boat rental places, this is the best one! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the boats are clean and well maintained. I've used Voyagers many, many times, and each time is always a pleasure -- and surprisingly affordable! Easy recommendation. read more

From booking to arriving and having a great time. All seamless We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Highly recommend read more

So fun! The Duffy boat handled nicely and was clean and comfortable! The owner LuAnn was very patient and helpful and explained everything clearly! The cruise in our Duffy was very nice and easy to navigate. They allow you to bring your own food and drink and that works out so well. We loved it so much we will definitely do it again soon! Highly recommended. read more

Voyagers - Getting ready to cruise! - Boating Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I came here with a few friends and rented their 12 person electric duffy boat. The price was fair even with tip and booking the rental online was a breeze. We were going to be the first ones on the water that day and after a quick tutorial of how to drive the boat and directions, we were off. Jeff was a great teacher and friendly without being overbearing. The boat itself was super clean and everything was in good shape. The boat was not run down and the seat cushions were comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate booking at Voyagers Rentals again. Parking wasn't bad early in the morning but I could see it being a problem being that Balboa Island's streets are narrow and parking spots are few. read more

Voyagers is a perfect place to rent a Duffy! Renting was so easy and convenient. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The boat was really nice! Definitely our new place to rent a Duffy! read more

Way too expensive for what you get during Christmas! barely any lights at all. you can go to Long Beach for half the price and the houses in Naples are decked out! don't go during Christmas time. read more

I booked a rental with Voyager this past weekend for my birthday. I decided to book with them because they currently have the best price in the area for a 12 seater Duffy. The reservation process was extremely easy. When we arrived at the Duffy they were a bit challenging to find since check in was at the end of the dock and they were blocked by signs/more people from Newport Pontoons. The Boat was clean and fit all 12 of my friends, although a bit tight! The employees were nice and allowed me to set up and decorate prior to the arrival of the rest of my guests. Overall I had a good experience and would recommend Voyagers. Parking in the neighborhood was tough for everyone, but at least it was free! read more

Awesome experience with Voyagers! I did a team building event and did a 2 hour cruise - they had an option to add food/wine/decorations which was super convenient and turned out great! Our captain was super knowledgeable and friendly on our cruise. Everyone had a blast. Great price too :) Can't wait to use them again! read more

Let me first tell you that we tried voyagers years ago when they were just starting out. Back then they had some technical challenges with the boats, but after our most recent voyage I am convinced that those growing pains are long behind them. I am not interested in renting a duffy from anyone else now that I've had the true voyagers experience. Their dock is conveniently located right next to the balboa ferry, this means you could park on the island OR do like we did - park in the marina area where there are shops and restaurants (and the pier and park) and then take the ferry across whe it is time for your reservation. A two-hour rental allowed us to cruise the entire bay at our pace and be back ten minutes early. The boat (officially a 12-seater) worked out perfectly for our party of eight, we had plenty of room to roam around and take turns driving, etc. When I've driven duffy's before I've often felt the unease of being responsible for my boat with everyone else around. (Duffy boats typically are last in terms of right-of-way on the water) but this time I felt well in control of the vessel, which speaks highly of their current lineup. Bring your friends, your food and libations, and of course your own playlist (they hook up with bluetooth) and have a good time any time of the year! read more

Great fall night on the boat. The Duffy boat was clean and well maintained. Nathan the deck hand was helpful and friendly.

The service and experience was exceptional. Staff did a great job covering all the bases with us and were helpful throughout. I think anyone who has left a negative review for this great locally owned establishment has nothing better to do with their time! Great rental, fair price, great service! read more

Wonderful way to enjoy lunch for my birthday; cruising through balboa island. Everything was ready to float when we got there. Check in AND out was a breeze. Simple rules, easy peasy. Will definitely be back. Thanks guys! read more

The rental process and employees are great! They informed us of the best route to take in harbor, fun spots to stop & restaurant-bars to perhaps visit. Let us know contact #'s if any issues come up. Guided us from initial reservation, to hitting the water til arriving back at the dock.! :) read more

The friendliest Duffy company in Newport Beach! We always have the best time entertaining friends and family on Voyagers Duffy rentals. The staff is so accommodating and helpful. Its a family owned local business which I love supporting-not some corporate giants like those faux Duffy colored boats! Also they have great vendors to decorate with balloons and inside the duffy to help you celebrate any occasion. Booking is easy online but plan ahead- they are popular! I love visiting Balboa Island and walking around the town and cute streets after. Always 5 stars!! read more

Voyagers provided top notch service and reliability. The boat was clean ready to go when we arrived for our sunset cruise. We were able to navigate around Balboa and Lido islands within our two hour tour. I appreciated the user friendliness of their website and confirmation emails. Be sure to get there about 15 mins before your departure to review and sign your paperwork. Kudos to Joe and Andy for making this family outing a smooth one! read more

AMAZING. FUN. EASY PROCESS. I booked time slot for my boyfriends birthday celebration and it was sooooo fun. WILL BE BACK AGAIN. The process to book online is simple and so is checking in at the docks. They teach you how to drive it and give you a map and send you on your way. We brought alcohol and pizzas and snacks, ALL ALLOWED. I booked the 8 person Duffy which was said to seat 6 comfortably but honestly you can fit 8 if not 10 comfortably. It's very spacious !! read more

If you are on the island go here. Easy reservation. Nice people. Perfect boat. We had our wine and cheese and they were nice when we brought the boat back with cracker crumb. Tip the attendant! Would definitely use again read more

I will only use Voyagers for my family & friend outings. Always great customer service and nice duffy's. We've tried other companies and Voyagers is the best. read more

This is a must-have experience for all visitors and locals to the area!! Cruising your own little Duffy boat in the Newport Harbor for a couple hours is the perfect way to relax, spend time with friends and watch the sunset. Even if you've never driven a boat before, it's easy and fun. The sweet little boat is clean, roomy, comfortable--bring along nibbles and drinks and you're all set. Other boaters are friendly, be sure to wave As you pass them by :D The map of the harbor is simple and easy to navigate. Your hosts Joe and Luann are friendly,helpful and all around awesome. Grab some friends, celebrate a birthday or anniversary, take coworkers....or just spend a sunset appreciating the gentle lap of water, sunshine and the wind in your hair!! Highly recommended! read more

We booked one of their larger boats for our party of 12 and there was plenty of room for all. The boats are clean, comfortable and really well kept. Our driving boat instructor gave clear directions on both the operation of the boat as well as directions. However, I recommend using Google map along with boat map to keep your course. The stereo is a nice plus and can accommodate both blue tooth or an aux cord so don't forget to bring your tunes. Two hours was plenty of time to take the long way around Balboa. My only regret - I should have done this sooner! What a great, leisurely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Top your day of with Balboa Bars and your weekend is complete! read more

My family of 8 had a wonderful time on the 12-seater Duffy Boat recently. We had a retirement celebration for my husband and everything went perfectly. From the owner, Luann, to the super friendly guy at the dock, Bob, we appreciated everyone's courtesy & helpfulness. I highly, highly recommend Voyagers Rentals for a great time on a Duffy Boat! read more

Boat was ready and waiting, ready to register, helpful and very kind employee. Very easy to have a great time. The boat was spacious and had a great sound system. It was a blast!! read more

We had a great experience renting a Duffy from Voyagers rentals. Check in process was smooth and quick, boat was squeaky clean. It was warm enough so we didn't need to lower windows, but it's nice to have this option in case it gets colder. We've rented from a few places in Newport harbor and Voyagers is definitely the best one. read more

We just finished a beautiful Duffy ride this afternoon. The Voyager crew were very friendly and efficient and the Duffy was beautiful and in excellent condition. We had a great time and highly recommend them - we'll definitely be back! read more
