Our fleet includes an 18' Duffy Electric Boat that can comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests and a Regal Cruiser yacht for up to 20 guests.  A cruise aboard the Knotty Buoys is perfect for an intimate night on the water with that special someone, a great way to spend time with the family, as a moveable feast to bar and restaurant hop with a group of friends or co-workers, and our favorite, Sunday Funday in Newport!  We have hosted numerous bachelorette and birthday parties, which always makes for a great time!

Our guests enjoy year-round comfort in all-weather protection that allows cool breezes or warmth from within.  Additional blankets are provided if needed at night or in the cooler months.  Electric boats emit no noise, and don’t pollute the waters, allowing for a peaceful, serene cruise...or for the more rambunctious crew, our vessels include state of the art speakers and sound system so you can rock out to your favorite jams while sipping on your favorite libation.

Our Duffy boat experience with Captain Chris was exceptional. Chris is very accommodating and very personable. He makes you feel like you are hanging out with a friend. Along the path he pointed out various points which added some interestingness if you are into that. If you are into your own company, he's fine with that too! The boat that we went on was new and clean. I believe there was an ice chest. There is a hookup for music if you want to play some tunes. It had plenty of room for our 8 person crew. We are all looking forward to our next trip with Captain Chris!

There wasn't a dull moment with Knotty Buoys: Duffy Boat Rental. The Captain, Chris, was personable, flexible, and accommodating to our 8 member group. With music in the background and chips with salsa that were provided by Chris, we felt relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We look forward to our next rental!

The Knotty Buoys: Duffy Boat Rental was awesome! Chris actually came and picked my party of girls up at a nearby restaurant, right at the dock. The boat was in very good condition and very clean. We were able to bring on our own food and champagne. Chris sailed us all around Newport Harbor. When we decided we wanted to jump in and swim he had towels for us as well. Our cruise also included great music that he was playing through the boat's speakers. Chris was nice, knowledgable, and so much fun! I would HIGHLY recommend The Knotty Buoys: Duffy Boat Rental! It was a blast!!!!

Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not.
