Boat being hauled
Marco P.

Leslie was so great while helping me with my boat. I had my boat hauled here for a survey before purchasing it then we had the propellor shaft seals and transom lights fixed on my tiara. Great service, great price would highly recommend.

Our Newport 30 at Cabrillo Marina!
Makanakai S.

As everyone knows or comes to find out, boats require maintenance, care, and most importantly: flexibility. This also applies to working with a boatyard. If they say, "it'll take another day or two to take your boat out of the water," it is best to be flexible as they have to be. And this is where my father and I found Cabrillo Boat Shop to be our best fit! It was an overall positive experience! In our case, with our Newport 30, we did wait two days acceptingly for the boat to be pulled out. The manager, Kai, couldn't have been more helpful. If it wasn't for him, I would have been frustrating. His overall professionalism is up to par with a large scale business and should be rewarded. With the great prices, nice people, and a straight forward "fee-chart" makes it so much less stressful. And with the stress of buying all the boat parts that goes with "boating", less stress in a boatyard can make anyone happier! Made us! So we got out of there 5 days later with a smile on our face, as well as on our boat! Thank you Cabrillo Boat Shop! We'll be coming back to you in two years time!

Thank you Don for giving me great advice on my first boat purchase.

See all

Be sure to get other bids and understand all of their many up charges. I find this yard to be very over priced.

No better place in the harbor to have your boat pulled out and dry docked to work on it.

Finally a place that rents boats that you can take into the ocean! Although you're not allowed to…read morego too far out. And they're phasing out their most powerful boat, the 75hp, because of too much abuse and the associated high insurance costs. But they still offer the 40hp boat and that has plenty of power, with a top speed of about 20 knots. It comfortably seats 4 people in designated seats, but can fit an extra two people sitting up front sideways on bench seating. I had a great time. I saw seals sunbathing on the buoys, and I even saw dolphins near the first oil rig island by the Queen Mary ship. Of course you can also get a nice close-up view of the Queen Mary itself. You're allowed to go almost to the Seal Beach Municipal Pier, but not quite. 1hr duration is enough if you want to do a quick single lap of the designated ocean area. 2hrs is highly recommend if you want to take your time and not be rushed. Be sure to bring a light jacket, hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the wind and sun. The designated driver is not allowed to drink. I'm not sure if the rest of the guests are allowed to drink. Park near the Yard House restaurant and then walk to the back of the restaurant and you'll see the little hut with the staff in it. If nobody is there then look over the edge to the docked boats because the staff might be down there instead.

The 40hp boat was not powerful enough for 6 passengers out in the Long Beach harbor past the Queen…read moreMary. Because we couldn't get up on a plane, the small waves ended up splashing everyone on the boat. We just puttered around the shoreline marina. It was fun, but a little disappointing at the same time.

Oh man I never published this review.. this is from our booking on Nov 26, 2025…read more. Fantastic experience from start to finish! Decided to surprise my wife with a relaxing duffy boat ride for our wedding anniversary with some friends. Went straight to Yelp to do my research (thanks Yelp!). Originally, I was going to book with a rental company for Newport Harbor, but then came across a Groupon for PCH Electric Boats. After checking out their website and reading the glowing reviews on Yelp, I immediately booked. I called to book a white duffy boat on the day before Thanksgiving. The person on the phone was friendly, courteous and really easy-going. They asked if I had a Groupon and if I could provide the voucher number. BOOM. done. all set! I received an email with VERY DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS (including photos) of where to park and where the meeting area was. Additionally, a link to the waiver form that every passenger is required to fill out (even your babies) was included in that email. On the day of our booking, we were met by the owner Grant who I'm pretty sure was the same friendly, courteous and easy-going person I talked to on the phone days earlier when I booked. He provided specific instructions on where we're allowed to go and what to avoid. He saw we had several small children in our party and recommended everyone use the restroom nearby before boarding since there is not place to stop out in the harbor. After we came back from our potty break, Grant lead us down to the dock and got all the kiddos fitted for their life vests (all in great condition btw). He assisted us with our bags so we could focus on boarding the kids safely and even took a group photo for us! The boat was clean and easy to drive. The sound system was bumping and all the windows easily lifted up for that nice harbor breeze. It was a beautiful and memorable day. On our return, Grant was at the dock with one of his employees ready to receive us. He guided us in smoothly and as we were gathering our belongings and cleaning up, he helped all the kids out and grabbed our bags. We handed Grant a tip and immediately he passed it over to his employee who was going to do the post-ride cleaning.. what a great boss!!!! Definitely will be booking with PCH Electric Boats again! Thanks Grant!!!!

Nice people getting you off on your journey and a really fun and festive atmosphere at the…read morerestaurant at the dock. Rented a boat and took it out for a couple hours to see the holiday lights and enjoy some friend time on the water. Brought our snacks and drinks and navigated out to the canals of Naples. Beautiful this time of year with all the lights and magical holiday vibes. One thing I would say the rental price does not include a service charge of 15% so your total will be 15% more than you expected. I'm sure they note it somewhere along the way in the paperwork but I missed it and asked later when I saw the charge which they cleared up right away. The map is helpful as you may lose reception out on the water. Low tide gives you a more fun experience than high tide as you can't go under some of the bridges if the tide is too high. Check your tide chart before booking or ask them. Nigel's restaurant there seems really fun too crazy use of a space that was just a sidewalk a few years ago. Definitely a great spot to take off from and lots of restaurant options near the dock.

My friends and I had a fun time on the duffy! Check in at the same entrance as Nigel's as they are…read morethe same owners. The pink ones are $350 for two hours, but we went with the blue one for $250. Pretty reasonably priced if you go with about 10 people, which fit comfortably. The table on our duffy was a bit wobbly and the motor was pretty slow. Full throttle was about 3 miles an hour. At least we felt safe driving it around Naples. We brought plenty of snacks and drinks. The Bluetooth connection worked fine but the speakers were a little blown. Despite the condition of the duffy, we still had a blast. The staff was very nice checking us in, getting us started and parking the duffy. I'd totally do this again!
