    Foster City's lagoon makes for a surprisingly lovely afternoon on the water, and the Duffy electric boats here are a big part of why. They're quiet, easy to captain, and spacious enough for groups of 10 to 12, making them a popular choice for birthdays, team outings, and family gatherings alike. The boats are consistently described as clean and well-maintained, and the Bluetooth speaker is a free perk that reviewers genuinely appreciate. Mike and Dennis come up repeatedly by name, and for good reason. They keep the check-in process smooth, walk you through a safety briefing, and are generally described as warm and accommodating, including with guests who have special needs. One reviewer even got a restaurant recommendation thrown in after their cruise. The two-hour rental window is the standard, and a few people noted wishing they could extend it, so plan your outing knowing time goes fast out there.
