Rent a Boat in Newport Beach, CA
Ten miles of protected harbor meet the Pacific’s kelp-rich coast—think silent canal cruises past multimillion-dollar homes by day and blue-water whale watches past Crystal Cove by afternoon.
What to know
The most popular boat rental styles in Newport Beach include:
- Duffy electrics & harbor runabouts for no-wake canal loops and dock-and-dine pit stops.
