Duffy Boat Memberships in Newport Beach

As if eliminating slip fees, maintenance costs, insurance premiums, and fuel is not enough, it is the year-round access to Newport Beach Harbor that seals the deal. We have exclusive Duffy boats set aside for member use only, and include discounts for the annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, gifts, or even add-on rentals as well as for other local businesses and restaurants that help make Newport Beach such an amazing place to live and visit!

What Do Our Newport Beach Harbor Membership Boats Include?

Aside from feeling great about supporting our 100% green rental fleet, our member boats have plenty of room and make ideal rentals for fishing in Newport Beach, having a relaxing dinner on the harbor, or enjoying the consistently beautiful weather any time of year!

Duffy Boats, originally manufactured in Newport Beach, remain a local favorite with their classic style and very easy to use control system. Our Duffy boats vary in size, some holding a maximum of 8 passengers while others hold as many as 12, and are generally best for first time boaters including those not familiar with Newport Beach Harbor.

Our OC Boat Rentals Memberships consist only of electric and solar powered boats made by trusted manufactures, and accompany additional discounts for add-on’s, local restaurants, stores, power boat rentals, bike rentals, paddle board rentals, kayak rentals, and more!

This is a great electric boat rental company. The people could not be nicer or more helpful, the boats are very nice... and unlike all of the other rental companies, the parking area is huge and easy. Do yourself a favor, save some money and skip Duffy. You will not be sorry. Oh, and they take our doggie friends!read more

Great time with family. Enjoyed every minute. Loved that 4 year old son and 7 year niece loved it. They want to do it... again. We will probably go back soon. Great that we can take snacks and drinks. Thank you Jay for showing us how to operate boat. and thank you Victoria for helping with reservation. Definitely recommend it for a family get together. Maybe even a birthday party. I get easily sea sick and this didn’t bother me.read more

Such a wonderful trip. Last year we used a different service. This year was quite an improvement. The staff was quick... to respond to emails. The young man at the boat dock (Eric???) was so pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable and such a gentleman with our elderly passengers. We’ve already give his name and OC Boat Rentals’ info to family members who plan on coming out. We will be back. Unlike last year, the boat was clean and sound. AA++read more

The company, Orange County Boat Rentals, is very friendly yet professional from the office staff who help with making... the reservation to the dock staff who personally help and assist with operation of their Duffy boats. All of the staff make the customer feel welcome. The boats are clean and have no problems with their operation. This company has free parking next to the docking area which is a big plus since others have little to no available parking. All safety protocols and those regarding COVID-19 are practiced. The rates are reasonable and they honor vouchers or may match prices. I would choose this company again..read more

We had a family outing on the OC Boat. The boat and the staff were terrific. The boat was thoroughly cleaned (we... watched the whole process). They were efficient and helpful in filling out the online paperwork and instruction on how to use the boat and provided a nice map. The parking is free (for up to three cars per boat) and easy to get to! This was perhaps our best experience in renting a Duffy in Newport. Highly recommend these guys.read more

We rent a pontoon for my friend birthday from 7pm -9pm. We want to take picture with sunset. It's a little hiccup at... the beginning because the boat is not available until 730pm due to some delay from the prior group. They compensated for us by reduce the fee. It's getting dark and we got lost. I called Bam and he guided us back to the harbor safe and sound. Thanks Bam and OC rentals. We had a great night.read more

Customer service is A +. I’ll start with that. Attendants were both great; very nice young men. The lady whom I made... the reservation with over the phone was so nice and patients as I struggled to get her my information through my screaming children. Lol. The boat was very nice and clean. Very comfortable. The reason for only 4 stars, the electric boats are dialed so low with a top speed of 6 mph, it actually poses a safety hazard in my opinion. If the bay were empty, sure no problem. I have previously owned two boats myself so I am not foreign to navigating through these waters. It was a busy day; lots of boats in the water. The current was moderate, but with the subtle wakes of other boats, it was making our electric boat very difficult to control, because it barely had enough power to correct my approach or recover from some situations I encountered. There were a few times that if I hadn’t had any experience, we would have collided with other boats just for the fact that I was cruising too slow through the NoWake zones relative to some of these guys. I understand the reasoning for tuning down the boats, I really do. In my opinion, it was too low, and took away my enjoyment at the skipper, because I was too busy trying to control the vessel. A chauffeur isn’t an option, I enjoy piloting our boats, which is why I also chose this company. They do now have a pontoon boat they rent out which would be my only choice if I rent again.read more

Dishonest rental company. Long story short- we had a reservation and it was cancelled due to the Covid-19 situation.... This was completely understandable. I was told by Brooke that my reservation would be honored at a later date. Flash forward to today, I have yet to receive a response or a follow-up. Ended up having to dispute the charge to get my money back. Support your local businesses, they say. With dishonest businesses like these, who wants to show support? Save your money and go to Newport Fun Tours, they were awesome!read more

We made a boat reservation back in August, 2019. It rained and our reservation got cancelled. We tried to reschedule... again in December, 2019: it rained again and got cancelled. We had a groupon so when Covid-19 hit, we couldn't reschedule before the rains subsided and the coupon expired. Fast forward to June, 2020. OC boat rentals was VERY understanding and we got to take our sunset excursion this evening! I just had to give them a thumbs up review for the way they treated me and honored the coupon. Great guys working the docks, very friendly and helpful! I can't wait to go again! THANK YOU OC BOAT RENTALS for a memorable sunset evening excursion with my three daughters! The boat was super clean...we brought lots of snacks and even got to sync our phone on the boat so we could listen to all of our favorite music!read more

The solar boat was one of the best experiences I have had on the water!I highly encourage others to try it, one... because of the ease of navigation, two because it is soothing and stress free. You get to bring your snacks and adult beverages, get to talk and enjoy the scenery! As the captain, I did not have any alcohol, but I didn't care. I had a wonderful time with my friends for their birthday. We brought real napkins, plastic wine glasses, and couple of bottles of nice wines, with a cheese tray and crackers. The staff was very friendly, helped us get our items on the boat, and was there to help us disembark. I highly recommend this company, it beats the competition hands down. (I frequently rent boats so that I have freedom to experience different ones without the cost of owning just one.)read more

Oh my gosh! What fun! We rented an electric boat for 8 and had the best 2 hour "happy hour" ever! We timed our trip... to include sunset. the suggested route takes you out to "The Wedge" and back with just enough time to dock for a potty pit-stop if you need one. The boat was fun and easy to drive. The guy at the dock was nice and easy going. Even though it was a little electric boat, we had a blast looking at all the bigger boats in the harbor and we even had several dolphin close to us (close to The Wedge) which was pretty cool since we were sitting at water level and not above them in a huge sightseeing boat. Great time!read more
