ELEGANT. SILENT. SIMPLE
Come and relax with family and friends while you glide the local waterways of Newport Harbor. It has been a lifestyle for thousands of families since the first electric boat was introduced in 1970. No other boating experience makes enjoying the water this easy. Our vessels are elegantly comfortable, simple and quiet to operate. Electric boats are emissions-free, require very little maintenance, will cruise all day and recharge overnight. You will be impressed by the quiet, relaxing ride and ease of operation it provides. Our “V” hull designed boats allow for unmatched stability making them steadier than many other boats out on the Harbor. They have the best maneuverability in their class in forward or reverse and can perform extremely tight turns for an uninterrupted ride. Our luxury boats hold up to 12 passengers and they blend the legendary sophistication of classic style boats and today’s electric green-marine technology to evoke the nostalgia and glamour of the past. What are you waiting for? Come and rent one of our boats today and cruise through a tropical seascape of ocean and harbor vistas that will satisfy the whole family. We look forward to sharing our FUN with you!

We are committed to customer service and making the experience as smooth as possible. So we have manually created a parking map of the area for your convenience with some alternative locations for parking. In the attached map, areas in green are typically free, but are also often used by other folks that are seeking free parking, so please allot yourself sufficient time to find a spot, get to our location and get checked in.
Areas in purple are typically metered, but most meters are only until 6pm, but please check signage to ensure that you are in compliance with any local city or state ordinances. Sometimes you have to pay a couple of dollars and sometimes you do not.
Additional options would be to legally park in a nearby neighborhood and take an Uber/Lyft down to our location, or walk if it is close enough.
Again, please make sure that you observe any and all city/state ordinances (or rules and regulations if on private property) wherever you decide to park.
Triangle Square is also only about 8-10 minutes away and is a very reasonable Uber/Lyft away. It’s a great location to grab dinner before or after your cruise and they have a large, complimentary parking structure. If you do park here however, please make sure to observe any posted ordinances, rules or regulations.
