Duffy Electric boat in Marina del Rey, California
We had an excellent trip with Curt! He gave us a great tour of the Marina and told us all sorts of fun facts about it. He is so funny and friendly. The boat sat us all comfortably and was just as described. Such a great experience. We are looking forward to doing it again soon!

Gustavo was very friendly, communicative, helpful, and knowledgable. My parents and I had a lovely time sailing along the coast and appreciated Gustavo's knowledge and insights. We lucked out with perfect weather and enjoyed our day on the water!

The ride around the harbor and channel was tranquil, beautiful and unique. The boat was clean and comfortable with a nice sound system. Our group loved the excursion and will repeat for sure.

What could be better than going out on a Duffy on a beautiful Sunday in Marina Del Rey Harbor, with nine other girlfriends, good food and drinks and lots of conversation. The Duffy boat was perfect for our day.
