Captain Kathy was excellent! We had a beautiful cruise around the bay. She was very knowledgeable about the area but never over-did the amount of information. She is very pleasant to spend a few hours with. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Newport Beach. We highly recommend a sunset cruise with Captain Kathy!
Our tour guide Kathy was so friendly and so courteous the entire time and we had the best time! I would certainly book with Kathy again.
Such fun experience! It was a beautiful day. The boat was very nice and comfortable. Kathy taught us so much about Balboa. I highly recommend if you want a nice be out on the water day.
We loved our afternoon boat tour. Scenery was beautiful and history was interesting. Captain Kathy was great.
What a lovely afternoon spent touring the Newport Harbor with Kathy. She gave us an interesting history of the area as well as fun facts about the rich and famous living in the area. We will definitely do this again!
We had a fun and relaxing tour with Kathy. She shared lots of great information an we thoroughly enjoyed it!
It was very relaxing. We had a seventh grader and a third grader on the boat. They both had a great time. As we were going to be going to dinner, we didn’t bring any food on. However, we did bring some beverages. It would be a nice way to have a light meal.
I made a mistake on booking date for this boat tour, but did not realize it until the day before it was to happen. The operator refunded my full amount and was a pleasure to work with. I was happy to rebook and looking forward to this experience the end of October!
Kathy was a wonderful host. She was fun and knowledgeable. We will definitely use her services again! The facility including parking was easy to access and exceptionally clean. Thank you Kathy
We had the best time and really enjoyed this experience! Kathy was wonderful and gave us many fun facts about the Harbor and the weather was perfect. We would definitely do this again and I highly recommend this option for those who want to enjoy a duffy boat without having to have one person drive the boat the whole time.
