Explore Newport Harbor By Duffy Boat
What is a Duffy Boat?
So what exactly is a Duffy boat you ask? Good question. A Duffy boat is a small electric boat that is quite common in Newport Beach. It holds about 10 people and only goes 5 miles per hour which is the perfect speed for taking in all of the harbor views. There are plastic window enclosures that you can choose to zip up on cooler days or unzip on warmer ones. All Duffy boats come equipped with CD players and MP3 connections so you can either bring your own jams or play them off of your phone. There is the option to rent Duffy’s by the hour or by the day. Many people find that you can see everything in a few hours, but if you want to hop on and off the Duffy you may opt for a full day rental. Because this is a super popular activity for both locals and tourists alike, it’s best to reserve a Duffy in advance. As long as you are 18 years or older and have a valid driver’s license you are able to be a captain of a Duffy and give yourself a private tour. Rent a duffy during your next Newport Beach vacation! This can be a romantic date, a fun friend get together or a whole family affair. Jump aboard and explore Newport beach by Duffy boat!

Newport Harbor Sights
Morning, afternoon and evening, there’s plenty of things to see in Newport Harbor from your Duffy. You can start by giving yourself a history lesson and admire the old Balboa Pavilion which was originally built in the early 1900’s as a social gathering spot for the elite. This was a true icon of the Golden Age. Next up on the “sights to see” list is the famous Balboa Fun Zone. This is fun for all ages, but if you have children it’s a must that you get off and check it out. There are arcade games, a ferris wheel, street food, and the Balboa Candy shop! In addition to the historic sites, feast your eyes on the mega yachts, sailboats and mansions surrounding you. It’s hard not to stare! If you’re into more of the natural wonders of life, as you putt around in your Duffy, keep your eyes open for all kids of marine life such as seals, dolphins sea lions, fish, sharks, and even whales! As the sun starts to go down, feel lucky as one of the very best places to view a sunset is from your own private Duffy boat.
