Duffy of San Diego, San Diego

Lots of fun. We had a 2 hour sunset rental. Our kids loved it. We ate wine and cheese plate as we cruised the bay. A must due with the family.

"Splendid" is the word I choose. I recommend reserving a boat in the early evening and enjoy the sunset while cruising the bay. Don't forget drinks and snacks. These boats aren't luxury yachts, but plenty spacious for decent sized groups, clean and comfortable. These puppies top out at 5 MPH - perfect for a leisurely jaunt and safe for kids and novice seafarers. I will say that it was somewhat difficult to find the right spot and link up with the Duffy employee. Also the spiel on boat operation and sailing route were rushed, so we charted our own path.

Every boat I have ever rented allowed pets. I was sent the rules saying no wine glasses or peanut shells. Nothing about dogs I thought I would ask to make sure. Billy said no pets. I said okay lets cancel. He stated there is a $35 cancellation fee. Even though it was well over 72 hours before the reservation. When I disputed Billy stated he is not in business to lose money. I understand that and its not my problem he has a third party company that charges him. Figure out your business so you maximize your profits. I have rented several Duffy's in Newport Beach and always bring my dog. And I have never seen a dog damage a Duffy. But at least state on the reservation page that there are no pets allowed. Not the last answer on the FAQ page. And then blame the customer for not researching enough. Great business tactics Billy.

Our captain Devin was awesome. You can tell how much effort he put into our charter and the dock hands were great as well. Highley recommend them!

Nice boat rentals, but not fire safe! All of the doors- including the bathrooms and the dock itself- automatically lock and require a key to enter and to exit. If there is a fire or other emergency here someday this might get some people killed. I would happily raise this review to 5 stars when and if this issue is corrected.
