Our Story

Family-Owned Duffy Boat Rentals in San Diego

San Diego Electric Boat Rentals is owned and operated by our family. We first fell in love with Duffy boats in Orange County, where we enjoyed countless afternoons on the water together.

Born on Mission Bay

In 2013, we brought that experience to San Diego, starting on San Diego Bay before moving to beautiful Mission Bay in 2014.

Today, we operate a fleet of 11 Duffy electric boats and take pride in helping families, couples, friends, and corporate groups enjoy relaxed, self-guided cruises on Mission Bay.

Mission Bay Park is one of San Diego’s greatest treasures, with 4,235 acres of land and water, including calm, protected waterways, parks, wildlife, and beautiful scenery.

Our quiet, eco-friendly Duffy electric boats are easy to operate, with no boating license or previous boating experience required. Simply arrive early for a brief orientation, then enjoy a leisurely cruise at approximately 5–6 mph. Our largest boats accommodate up to 10 guests.

We’re located at Driscoll’s Mission Bay Marina, with guest check-in handled by Aqua Adventure. Convenient free parking is available across the street, and paid parking is available inside the marina near our boats. Our friendly team is ready to help you enjoy your Mission Bay adventure.
