    Hello we had an amazing time on our pink Duffy boat, Bryce was our captain for the 3 hour trip, he was personable and friendly. He loaded and unloaded our ice chest and belongings which was extremely helpful. He went above and beyond and we will definitely request his services again! Also the boat was waiting for our arrival it was clean and decorated so cute! Thank you again OC Boat Rentals for making my Birthday celebration extra special! Gina ~
