By land, Newport Beach is impressive, but by sea it’s simply magical! Chartered boats, romantic gondolas, luxurious yachts and electric “Duffy” boats are available to help visitors explore the waterways of this beautiful beachside city. Whether captaining your own vessel or leaving the maneuvering to someone else, either way it will be a nautical experience you’ll never forget.  

Once familiarized with our many inlets and bays, consider venturing into the open waters for a daytrip to beautiful Catalina Island, located 26 miles (or a smooth 75-minute cruise) across the Pacific Ocean. Private yachts and catamaran passenger services are available for both individuals and groups.
