    Awesome boat to rent and we had an amazing experience! Reuben was extremely friendly and helpful and the boat was such a fun experience. I highly recommend going through Reuben if your looking to rent a boat for a day or night. We'll definitely be doing this again!

    My family and I wanted to rent a boat to go out whale watching. We found the nicest boat for the price. It was beyond clean and the owner was super friendly. We rented the Sea Ray 2013 boat and it was in great condition. My husband manned the boat so we didn't need the captain and we went out to sea and luckily got to see whales and seals. It was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend Captain Newport for your future boat rental needs. It had all the amenities and I brought food on board for us. It was the perfect amount of time (8 hours) to explore the ocean and even dock and swim to shore. We had so much fun and didn't want the day to end. I highly recommend using Captain Newport for any and all of your boat rental needs. They answered my email so quickly and were there to greet my family and I when we boarded. It was a smooth process and I can't wait for our next boating adventure. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! They have three boats so I'm excited to try the newest one 2015 in the weeks to come.

    We rented this boat for my wife's birthday and had a blast. We comfortably fit 6 people all day . The boat is very clean and everything worked perfectly. The cabin is comfortable and spacious. My wife and I stayed on the boat overnight. Reuben was very friendly and promptly answered questions (via text) while we were out on the water. Can't say enough nice things about Reuben or this boat. Stop thinking about it and just book it. You won't regret it.

    Excellent service and beautiful boats. We took the boat for my birthday and were extremely happy with the customer service received. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting or living in Orange County. The weather here is beautiful and a day on the water does take all the stress away. I had a wonderful birthday and the boat ride was the highlight of it.

    Reuben and his team are great! I have had the pleasure of using many of his boats for different occasions from bay cruises in the harbor, day trips down to emerald bay, to long weekend Catalina trips. The boats are always very clean, in great working order, and they are always on time for your departure and arrival back. Whether you want to hang out and relax with a captain handling everything or take joy in being the captain these guys are the best.

    I had such an awesome experience renting a boat from Rueben and his guys. My buddy Ross knew these guys and I didn't know what to expect, but it was such a blast and honestly I can't wait to do it again. We had a group of 6 and we rented a 2012 27ft. Sea Ray Sundancer. The boat was clean and in great working order. We were on the boat for about 7 hours or so, which sounds like a long time but it went by really quick. Make sure to bring plenty of water, food, towels, sunscreen, and of course music. I was able to practice steering the boat which was a lot of fun. Great for group adventures, dates, or any excuse possible. You'll feel like you went on vacation. Great staff and very accommodating. Looking forward to the next adventure with Captain Newport!

  • *****

    Took one of Reuben's boats out with my wife last week. This was the second time we've rented from Captain Newport and we won't go anywhere else. Reuben's friendly service was exceptional and the boat was a blast. Thanks Reuben!!

  • *****

    We had an awesome trip with Captain Rick last weekend! He had a lot of interesting information to share, was great with the three young children we brought along (they took turns driving - highlight of our vacation!), and gave us an exciting ride while keeping us all safe, as well. Very nice, clean boat. Highly recommend! Thank you, Rick.

  • *****

    Thanks for all your help Reuben, you are amazing!! 100% coming back and recommending Captain Newport to everybody!!! From Katherine and Family

  • *****

    5-Star all around. Rueben is one of the best when it comes to boat rental services. He's extremely knowledgeable of the area, very helpful, and you can't find a friendly person to work with. I'd recommend him any time with on hesitation and have used his service multiple times already!

  • *****

    Great boat, great service, reasonable prices. I rent from them 3 times each summer. Like my granddad told me: if it flys, floats or fu&$, rent it.

  • *****

    Thumbs up! Very good!!!!

  • *****

    We had a great experience :-)

  • *****

    It was great and all went well. I would recommend to all my friends and would for sure use your services again....

  • *****

    we rented this boat for a day out in the water and it was amazing. The boat was spacious beautiful, well taken care of and fast! We went about half way to Catalina in about 2 hours not going fast at all since my wife was 7 months pregnant. And anchored out past Huntington Beach pier just to sit out in the sun for a little bit! Over all we had an amazing experience especially for the price! We had three couples and all fit nicely on the boat with extra room to spare! So between us all the price was very low.

  • *****

    Captain Newport provides a great experience on the water. Friendly staff and easy to get a boat and go! Definitely the best place to rent in Newport Beach!

  • *****

    We took a boat out Labor Day weekend. Great boat and Captain Bill was so accommodating. I highly recommend this company for their customer service and quality yachts.

  • *****

    This was our third time with Captain Newport. For the beautiful Newport Sunset Cruise. Boat was clean and in top condition, friendly and very helpful staff. Location on PCH make it easy to park your car and access the boat. We will Definitely use Captain Newport Again.

  • *****

    What a night! Our Sunset Cruise was amazing from the moment we left, right up to the end of our 3 hour trip. Our captian, Niko, was so much fun, but was totally professional and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. Next time we make it to Newport Beach we will have them take us to Catalina. Can't wait!!

  • *****

    Had the best time on this sunset charter! Couldn't have asked for more, we had wine, champagne, and cheese! Will definitely be booking again this summer! could not believe how easy and non pressured it was to book!!

  • *****

    Amazing experience! And a great Captain! Thank you for such a memorable day!

  • *****

    This is our second time renting from Captain Newport to celebrate my birthday. Excellent service provided by Ruben and Captain Bill. We rented the Formula 33 ss and it was in excellent condition and highly maintained and cleaned. It was easy to operate and we had an amazing time.

  • *****

    We had a great time and I would highly recommend. Reuben was very responsive, unlike others we contacted, and the boat was great and our captain Dennis was very nice, engaging and accommodating. All in all a great day!

  • *****

    Was vacationing in Newport last weekend and took out the 39' Donzi with friends. Had a great time and was an amazing experience. Highly recommend.

  • *****

    We had such a wonderful experience using them. Everyone was very friendly and the staff was professional, accommodating, and they genuinely care about their customer service. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again for my next event. Thanks again!

  • *****

    I would highly recommend this boat rental service to everyone. Employees were highly accommodating and eager to help with every issue. Very professional. The boat was as described, and employee briefed us on the boat prior to departure. We all had a great time, and would not hesitate to use their service again.

  • *****

    We rented the 40ft Donzi last week to celebrate graduation. The whole process was very smooth and painless. Our booking agent Alexandra was very kind and helpful throughout the whole process. Cant wait to do it again!

  • *****

    Rented a 27ft Sea Ray cabin cruiser for the afternoon with my family of four. Boat was clean and functioned flawlessly. We spent most of our time in Newport Harbor but also did run down the coast to Laguna Beach. Was nice to have the cabin and head at our disposal if needed, but spent most of our time outside - teens on the bow had a blast. Next time we'll go out to Catalina, was so much fun. Staff was on time and super friendly. Only complaint is we had asked everyone to wear masks as my wife is immunosuppressed and on dialysis, but person who greeted us at the end wasn't wearing a mask. That of course had nothing to do with the boating experience, which was lovely overall.

  • *****

    We had a great experience on the 43 ft Sea Ray Sundancer! Reuben Pasandi and his entire staff were very helpful and professional! The boat was very nice and our captain Captain Juan Valencia was very knowledgable with lots of experience! Grateful for the experience!

  • *****

    We hired a beautiful yacht through Captain Newport. Top of the line all the way. Great service. Amazing trip to Catalina. Thanks again for making the day so special.

  • *****

    Thank you Captain Newport for making my 40th birthday celebration so special! The whole experience was perfect and professional. They were happy to accommodate all my needs. My guests and I had a wonderful time and we will definitely be using them for our next celebration!

  • *****

    such an excellent experience with Captain Newport! We rented a boat for my birthday with some close family and friends. The service was fantastic and the boat was spotless which made us feel super comfortable and at ease. We were able to bring our own food and drinks but they also offer catering! Reuben was responsive, friendly, on time, and the entire exchange was seamless. Overall, it was a great day and great experience. Would highly recommend!

  • *****

    The boat was beautiful and the captain was great. My family and I had a wonderful time!

  • *****

    I got one of the yachts for my sisters bday and it was soo gorgeous and clean upon arrival.. we wanted to take my grandpa out to sea since he wanted to join for my sisters bday and we were a little worried about the process since he is handicap. Ruben was soo sweet about it and made sure our boat was easily accessible for him for his wheelchair. Our captain was amazing too he helped with even bringing my grandpa on board. It was all Above and beyond! . the whole trip was beautiful! We Went to Emerald Bay..will def use this company again!!

  • *****

    Reuben and Peg Mike made my yacht experience so amazing! We used them to spread my mothers ashes. The 43 ft yacht was beautiful and the perfect size for my family. We cant wait to use them again. Customer service was excellent from beginning to end.

  • *****

    Amazing experience with captain Newport. Stunning boat, great captain and top notch customer service. Would highly recommend for any occasion and had zero complaints. Can't thank you enough captain Newport for the incredible experience. See you again soon!! Xoxo

  • *****

    Spectacular service!!! This is my 4th chartering a boat from captain Newport and I am always so impressed by the attention to detail and wonderful customer service we received right from booking the boat till we get off the boat. Captain Newport also follows up diligently after the service to see how our boat experience went.

    The last time I rented the boat was for 4 hours on New Years and we had captain Mike on the 40 Ft Sundancer. It was a group of 7 and we had a blast. The boat was beautiful, very well maintained and the boat ride was smooth. Captain Mike was attentive to our requests.

    I cannot imagine doing business with anyone else. Captain Newport is the best at what he does and has the very lovely selection of boats to pick from. Definitely recommend!!

  • *****

    Booked them for my wife's birthday very professional and fun to chat with. Our captain was also just as professional, looking forward to our next visit.

  • *****

    This is about the fifth time Ive rented a boat from Captain Newport but the first time I went on their Duffy. It was so much fun. My girlfriends and I packed up a fun meal with some bottles of wine and headed out. We cruised the harbor and even stopped off at Balboa Island for some drinks. We had an amazing two hours and wanted to extend because we were having so much fun. Highly recommend the Duffy. Its affordable and so much fun. Comfortable and exactly what you need for a couple hours away from the crazy thing we call life!!

  • *****

    Boat was totally clean, full of gas and in tip top condition. Had so much fun cruising down to Emerald Bay and through the Newport Harbor. The staff was extremely clear, patient, and helpful! I HIGHLY recommend using them!

  • *****

    We love using Captain Newport for all of our boating festivities. Reuben and his staff make it so easy to get out on the water without having all the work and responsibility of having your own boat. They're also honest and don't over charge, and super flexible and work around what works best for you. The transition from getting on the boat to getting off is so quick and effortless. They seriously make it so simple and fun- we go through them every time. Highly recommend their services.

  • *****

    Simply awesome. We booked the largest boat (the price was very reasonable) and spent 5 hours cruising the coast and Newport harbor. Captain Rick was very obliging and knowledgeable about the area. As I said simply awesome, I'd give them 6 stars if I could.

  • *****

    Excellent service. The boat was very clean. Everything was in working order. The captain was on call for any questions at any time. Highly recommend these guys if you want to rent a great boat with no hassles!

  • *****

    We have used Captain Newport twice. Reuben and Captain Rick are first class. The boats are clean & BEAUTIFUL. You got to love Sundancer boats! Easy to maneuver, even if you're a novice, but Capt Rick will help you if you need. Thank you again for a great time!

  • *****

    100%! Ruben was fantastic in setting up the excursion for our family. I was nervous, as this was my first time setting up something like this and had no idea where to begin; but Ruben called me to confirm and sent me perfect instructions, boat was easy to find among the hundreds at the marina. Captain Troy did a great job entertaining my kids, taking us to the buoy to see the sea lions and set us in the perfect spot for dolphin watching. We did a 4-hour morning run, and my only regret was not reserving the boat for a longer period. The clouds started burning off mid way through the trip and then the sun came out and it was just a perfect afternoon. The boat was beautiful and a good size for our family that consisted of two smaller children and 5 adults. Could easily take on a few more pax, but we liked having the extra space. This is definitely is a repeat activity for us!

  • *****

    WHAT A GREAT TIME!!! This was one of the best day's I've had in years. We rented the Donzi from Reuben (the company owner), who was extremely polite over the phone when booking. It was a seamless process and the boat was awesome! I'm going to be renting from this company on a regular basis.

  • *****

    The boat was great, Reuben was easy to deal with, we where a bit late and he was easy to accommodate use. I highly reccomend

  • *****

    My family and I were recently while on vacation and we were impressed by the service and the hospitality provided by Reuben and Captain Rick. We will definitely be renting from them the next we are out in California.

    I would strongly recommend using them for a boat rental.

  • *****

    As an experienced boater and captain I have rented the 29' SeaRay and 39' Donzi from Reuben in the last week. Both rentals were great reliable boats, Rick was incredibly helpful getting us on our way quickly and this is probably the best rental option in the Newport Beach Harbor.

    Highly suggest you rent here and you'll have a great time.

  • *****

    Look no further for boat rentals in Newport Beach! Rueben was so friendly, helpful and accommodating it made the entire process a simple pleasure. We rented The Formula which was great for 10 adults to enjoy comfortably. Had a wonderful time putting around the harbor and the boat handled amazing out in the ocean. If you're going to rent a boat in this size range , you should rent from Captain Newport!

  • *****

    We rented an amazing boat from Captain Newport last week. What a great experience! Boat was fantastic! We chose the Formula and what a blast. Took it to Catalina Island for lunch. The boat is powerful, fully equipped and drives like a charm. Wasn't expecting such a nice boat from a rental online. Look forward to renting again next time we're in SoCal.

  • *****

    This is the third time I've gone boat with my family and overall it was a great experience, excellent service, cleaned boat and kids enjoyed swim in the deep sea

  • *****

    I rented Reuben's boat for my birthday. It was my first time renting a boat. Reuben is very friendly and made the whole boat rental process a smooth and stress-free experience. He showed my friends and I how to safely operate the boat before we left. He gave me a call during the trip to make sure we were doing OK. I would definitely recommend you to rent one of his boats!

  • *****

    This place is awesome, I cannot express how nice is to work with someone like Ruben. He is responsible, he offers great service,and very accommodating. Every time I spoke with Ruben he was responsive, friendly always in a good mood and the best service I have received in a very long time.

  • *****

    Great service and fast response!! Ruben is your guy if you are looking to rent a nice boat in Newport! We rented SunDancer 260 and had a blast! Captain Rick was awesome and extremely knowledgeable, pretty much knows everyone In Newport so If you request him you're getting the best skipper for the day :-)

  • *****

    Rented a boat for 4 hours. Meet Reuben prior to renting, he showed me the boat and then we talked to Captain Rick about what we would do the day we go out. The renting process was very smooth and professional. The boat was in very good condition and Captain Rick was experienced and very friendly with my Kids.
    Had a wonderful time. Saw sea lions, dolphins and one whale. Then anchored in Laguna and had a nice swim.
    I will definitely use them again. I recommend taking it out for 5 hours minimum to get to enjoy it properly since it takes half an hour to leave the harbour and another half an hour to return,

  • *****

    Great boat, great time! We had been looking for while for a Sea Ray or similar sized boat/yacht to rent and we're thrilled when we finally found this company. We booked the 2015 Sea Ray 260 for 4 hours. Our party consisted of 3 adults and 1 child and we had plenty of room. The boat was easy to handle (as per my husband) and the best part was we were able to take it out on the ocean and cruise the coast!

  • *****

    I rented a yacht(Sun Dancer 260) to celebrate my birthday and had some special guests with me on this day. I must say that it was the best birthday so far. It was such an amazing experience being able to sail out into seas and enjoy the beauty of nature. The yacht was perfect for the amount of people I invited and they all had the time of their life as well. We took so many pictures to capture the new memories I will treasure forever. Thanks to both you, Rueben, owner of the yacht, and Joe, who assisted us before our way out to seas. This was the first time I rented a yacht like this one, but definitely not the last. We'll have to do this more often, even if it's not a birthday. I enjoyed it so much. Thanks again!

    I looked at at many rental sites before renting from Reuben.He is the man! He made boating without the hassles!We booked a 4 person trip for 8 hours and we had a blast! The weather was absolutely perfect when we went so that was a nice bonusI We rented his (Sun Dancer 260) to celebrate life and had some special guests with me on this day. It was such an amazing experience being able to sail out into seas and enjoy the beauty of nature. The yacht was perfect for the amount of people I invited and they all had the time of their life as well. We took so many pictures to capture the new memories I will treasure forever. Thanks to, Rueben, owner of the yacht, who assisted us before our way out to seas. This was the first time I rented a yacht like this one, but definitely not the last. We'll have to do this more often. Thanks again! Master Leonard Wayne PhD--

    Captain Newport is a first class company! Ruben helped me from beginning to end to make sure our day was perfect. He was always available as we were planning the trip; to answer questions, help us find what we needed, getting us a great captain! He is so friendly and really invested in our having the best experience. The boat was awesome! Clean and comfortable.He called afterwards to make sure we were satisfied. I would only rent with Ruben at Captain Newport in the future!!

  • *****

    My family of 4 rented the 2012 Sea Ray for a half day. Prior to booking with Captain Newport I called numerous other companies looking for a simple boat rental that could be taken into the ocean. Captain Newport had the best prices and options.. by far. Great experience renting.. will do it again.

  • *****

    Captain Newport is fabulous!!! I called Reuben a few weeks ago to inquire about renting a boat for my boyfriend's 40th birthday. Reuben was more then patient, answering all of my questions and then some. The day of, he let my friend go to the boat early in the morning to decorate and set up. He and Joe even helped her load everything onto the boat! We rented the Formula 330 on July 3rd and had an amazing time. We fit 13 people on the boat and it didn't feel crowded at all! We went down to Catalina and the boat handled beautifully. The boat was in imaculate condition. I will definitely be renting a boat again from Reuben! Thanks for a great day!!

  • *****

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    My wife and I rented the 2012 Sea Ray over Independence Day weekend and took it out with some friends. We had the best time you could possibly hope for!!

    The boat itself was gorgeous, ran like new and had plenty of room for all 8 of us. The checking in and out of the boat process was as quick and easy as you could possibly imagine, especially considering how anxious you are to get on the boat and get going, as well as how tired you are after you're done. Joe and Ruben were super friendly throughout the whole process. We ended up keeping the boat an extra hour because we were having a great time and since the next reservation was later in the day, they were super accommodating.

    I did a lot of research on boat rental places, as well as boat options...this place not o my had the best boats, but they were so friendly and accommodating.

    We will absolutely be renting again from these guys!!!

  • *****

    Finally, a boat rental company with newer, cleaner, larger boats! My brother and I took our Dad over to Avalon for the weekend and Reuben and his Captain Newport boat options were exactly what we were looking for. The Catalina ferry options are fine for simple transportation to/from the island - but boring, and then you have no boat for fishing, snorkeling and exploring while on the island. The value was excellent, Joe met us at the dock at our departure and at our return to explain all boat systems, operation, etc. and we had an amazing experience. We took the new 27' Sea Ray but next time I'm upgrading to the 39' Donzi! Planning a bay cruise around Newport for my brother's birthday on the 33' Formula or the 39' Donzi in August, may have Reuben provide a Captain for that trip though... Definitely recommend Captain Newport - clean, larger, well maintained boats (which you just don't find with most boat rental company's), and a super responsive polite owner.

  • *****

    Captain Newport is Awesome!!! Three of us rented the 2015 Sea Ray and took it out to Catalina for two nights. The boat was perfect, comfortable, ran well and the crossing took just over an hour each way. Reuben and Joe were great to work with, explained everything and made themselves available for any questions. Check out/in was fast and easy. They will definitely be our first call next time we rent a boat.

  • *****

    Captain Newport is the best! For my 31st Birthday we rented the 2013 Sundancer and headed down to some of the private beaches along the Newport Coast. Along the way we encountered about 30 dolphins who made the experience very memorable and special for the group. The Captain Newport team provided excellent customer service and guidance without getting in the way of our experience. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to have a luxury experience on the water.

  • *****

    Decided to rent a boat and wow what a great experience! Joe met us at the dock and went over everything. Boat ran great and we had so much fun! Weather was perfect, Joe was at the dock upon our return... love him! He is so funny. Will be renting again! Why buy, pay to store it and maintenence when you can have this much fun at a fraction of the cost?!?!

  • *****

    This is an easy review! Wonderful experience. Captain Reuben was excellent at helping us get our charter scheduled. I actually booked the wrong day, my error and he went above and beyond to try to get it switched. It ended up better that we went on the day I actually scheduled. Joe called that morning to let us know he would be waiting for us and he was. Escorted us down to the boat and carried our stuff. Captain Chris was waiting on board for us. He was super friendly, gave us tons of info. Stopped and circled when he spotted a whale for us to go watch for a while and did the same for a group of dolphins. Now that I've been to Catalina Island I don't know if I would do it again (it was very beautiful and awesome but kind of a one time experience). I do plan on using them again for a private charter to just take a trip out and hang out on the boat and chill. Excellent service and great pricing if you know anything about private charters. Well worth it if you enjoy being able to do what you want when you want and have run of the boat. We will be back!

    I went Boating for my Bday the other day with my friends and i was so lucky to find this place and I was able to rent a very clean and nice boat! Had such an amazing time! The owner was so nice by welcoming me with a Birthday gift and the Staff was super awesome! I'd totally recommend this place to everyone and from now on I know where to go to get my rentals :)

  • *****

    We had an amazing day and Reuben gave us a special deal to accomodate for the full day. The boat we rented looked as good as the pictures and everything was as he said it would be. We went with 2 other couples and had a blast, thank you Captain Newport!

  • *****

    Just rented a boat thru this service. Reuben was awesome in handling the the process. Easy, straightforward and no stress. The boating experience went great too. Our captain for the day did a wonderful job and we all had a blast. I would highly recommend going thru captain newport boat rental service for any related needs.

  • *****

    Reuben and his team are great! I have had the pleasure of using many of his boats for different occasions from bay cruises in the harbor, day trips down to emerald bay, to long weekend Catalina trips. The boats are always very clean, in great working order, and they are always on time for your departure and arrival back. Whether you want to hang out and relax with a captain handling everything or take joy in being the captain these guys are the best.

  • *****

    Reuben was extremely helpful and professional for our charter. He will do everything he can to make sure you have an awesome experience.

  • *****

    Reuben from Captain Newport was so amazing to work with. My husband and I were coming to LA to celebrate his birthday and wanted to rent a boat-- I am so happy we found Reuben. He was so responsive to all of our questions (and believe me I have a lot) and really made this a first class boating experience that was wonderful and easy. My husband and I often rent boats and this was by far the cleanest, newest, and well kept boat- everything worked -- including music, refrigerator, toilet etc. The morning we rented the boat we got a text from one of Reuben's employees confirming where the boat was located with the number of the person checking us in. Once we arrived at the dock, Bill was already there and showed us everything on the boat and gave us a rundown. It was quick and easy and we were cruising in no time. The whole team was so amazing to work with and really gave us quality service. We really felt like a guest on their boat and they really make an effort to make sure everything is perfect.
    I would highly recommend renting from Reuben for a first class experience. Only thing that would be better is if they opened a location on the east coast!

    Excellent service and beautiful boats. We took the boat for my birthday and were extremely happy with the customer service received. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting or living in Orange County. The weather here is beautiful and a day on the water does take all the stress away. I had a wonderful birthday and the boat ride was the highlight of it.

    Reuben is such a pleasant host. Seamless experience. Had a great time entertaining out of town friends on one of his beautiful SeaRays. Made me feel right at home. Easy communication and hassle free. HIghly recommend this operation and will be renting in future again. Thanks Reuben!

    We rented this boat for my wife's birthday and had a blast. We comfortably fit 6 people all day . The boat is very clean and everything worked perfectly. The cabin is comfortable and spacious. My wife and I stayed on the boat overnight. Reuben was very friendly and promptly answered questions (via text) while we were out on the water. Can't say enough nice things about Reuben or this boat. Stop thinking about it and just book it. You won't regret it.

    My family and I wanted to rent a boat to go out whale watching. We found the nicest boat for the price. It was beyond clean and the owner was super friendly. We rented the Sea Ray 2013 boat and it was in great condition. My husband manned the boat so we didn't need the captain and we went out to sea and luckily got to see whales and seals. It was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend Captain Newport for your future boat rental needs. It had all the amenities and I brought food on board for us. It was the perfect amount of time (8 hours) to explore the ocean and even dock and swim to shore. We had so much fun and didn't want the day to end. I highly recommend using Captain Newport for any and all of your boat rental needs. They answered my email so quickly and were there to greet my family and I when we boarded. It was a smooth process and I can't wait for our next boating adventure. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY! They have three boats so I'm excited to try the newest one 2015 in the weeks to come.

    Excellent experience. We rented Reuben's boat for my birthday with 11 friends. Reuben advised 8 people for comfort, but we are a close group and although it was a little tight, 11 people fit fine for us. The service was fantastic. Reuben was responsive, friendly, on time, and the entire exchange was seamless. Boat was great - clean, ran well. Overall, great day and great experience.

    My friends and I had a wonderful trip on the boat yesterday! We had a chance to see some sea lions and dolphins. The sunset in Newport Harbor is so beautiful! Also good red/white wine and cheese snacks were provided as a complimentary during our trip! The captain was great, it was a lot of fun! Thank you, Reuben! We enjoyed our time in your boat!

    My husband and I and our two daughters rented the 2015 Sea Ray. It was such an amazing experience. My girls loved every minute of it and we even got to see seals and dolphins.

    It is a beautiful boat! New, fully loaded, easy to operate and exactly what I was looking for. Reuben personally met us and walked us through everything we needed even provided drinks for us. We brought food to have a picnic and the eight hours flew by.

    Would definitely rent again.
