What To Expect
Step into the role of captain on a luxurious Fantail Electric Boat in Newport Beach! Docked right at the high-end pedestrian walkways of Lido Marina Village, these boutique boats give you a classic, retro-chic alternative to traditional Duffy boats.
Operating one is completely hassle-free. If you can drive a golf cart, you can navigate the calm waters of Newport Harbor with absolute ease—no boating license or prior experience required.
Set your own pace as you glide past multi-million-dollar waterfront estates, wave to people on Balboa Island, and watch local sea lions relax on the public docks. You can even hook up your favorite playlist to the integrated sound system and hire an in-house balloon artist to custom-style your boat before you cast off!
