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.
we had SO MUCH FUN! the duffy was so clean & cute — beautiful decorations & supplies to make our experience amazing. everything from the clean duffy to the great speakers was unreal — so easy to work with from start to finish! thank you🩷
Glad that we hired captain Curt to help drive us around and he was a wealth of knowledge. The boat was clean, spacious for 8 people and we all had such a great time! Would highly recommend and do it again.
