Fun, catching sand and calico bass
Joseph R.

Great owner, friendly, boats are well kept, it's been a pleasure renting these boats for the la st 5 years, will rent again,

Fun on the rental boat in Dana Point.

My boys and I had a great experience with Harbor Boat Rentals. Their boats are beautiful and well maintained. This is a family business and we had 3 generations making sure we had a great time on the water. Job well done Harbor Boat Rentals!

Got to enjoy a free whale watching tour during the Festival of the Whales. We have lived here over 3 years and it was our first time out on the water. Colin was our guide and he was an awesome, friendly and fun guy! He was able to show us whales and a ton of dolphins. My wife, kids and myself truly enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!

See all

In today's boat rental market, true customer service is a lost art; this is definitely not the case for Danny's business.

Review is for their sailing camp!…read more This was our second year attending Westwind Sailing, and once again, it exceeded our expectations! My boys absolutely love this camp -- the sailing, the teamwork, the fun -- it's all top notch. This year, we ran into an unexpected situation where one of my sons wasn't able to attend, even though we had signed up well in advance. Based on the camp's policy, Westwind could have easily told us there was nothing they could do -- but they did the opposite. They were quick to respond, incredibly understanding, and went out of their way to accommodate us. In a world where customer service can be hit-or-miss, their compassion and professionalism really stood out. Another lovely moment: during the "practice capsizing" day, my elderly parents came to watch. Without us asking, the amazing staff brought out chairs for them so they could sit and enjoy the event comfortably. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and speaks volumes about the team behind this camp. We're so grateful for everything Westwind Sailing offers -- from the wonderful instruction to the truly kind and caring staff. Highly recommend this camp to anyone considering it!

Dana Point Harbor is always my favorite Paddle Boarding spot. I've been coming here for years…read more Peaceful, quiet and just straight up zen. Easy on and off of the board. Right at baby beach, in case you fall off returning the board (like me) you can just walk straight to shore

Raffy and Kiwi are hands down the smartest, most professional and proficient boat mechanics in…read moreSoCal. Our boat was in need of significant repair and after several boaters and businesses in Dana Point Marina referred us to OCO we knew we were in good hands. We received frequent video updates and a valuable lesson in basic boat maintenance. It's tough to find mechanics you can trust, look no further for all of your boat repair needs.

You can find someone better, not worth the risk…read more They ended up damaging by boat and didn't fix the initial root cause of the issue i took it in for.. they called the previous owner of of the boat (30 years) and his mechanic a liar. When I got the boat back I had smoke from the engine bay on my first trip out 1/4 mile from harbor. Luckily sea tow and no major damage. It shifted smooth when I dropped it off, didn't shift after getting it back. Dangerous and incompetent to say the least.. ef these guys.. So i purchased an old but new to me 25' Flybridge with a 7.4L MPI mercruiser.. 30 year owner, very well cared for.. the engine shook when I bought it.. seemed like engine mounts.. I took it to Orange County outboards since they're a mercruiser shop in my area.. what a mistake.. after they rebuilt my stern drive they said just live with the shake... they said the guy I bought it from was lying.. it wasn't a reman'd engine cause it didn't have the tag (mercruiser stopped putting tags on remans) my first time having the boat back it almost burned down SERIOUSLY. Smoke from engine bay 1/4 quarter mile outside the harbor... I had to get sea towed back in.. I immediately let them know, they said they'd send techs out (their shop was full all of a sudden) and that was the last I heard of them.. Absolute garbage.. they took 4 months for 20 hours of billed work.. the work they did do was sound.. but for some reason they wouldn't fix the engine.. So next I took it to another shop, they fixed the engine mounts and the shake is gone.. amazing right!? the reputable shop also found the water pump had failed (mysteriously?) and also the shift cables that worked fine when I dropped it off were stuck when I got it back.. the new shop replaced the cables and it shifted smooth as butter again.. AVOID THIS SHOP IF YOU DONT HAVE A 35' dual engine cabin cruiser.. The mechanic at oc outboards seemed full of himself.. they also said I need to change the oil every 20 hours.. what a joke.. this is my 2nd boat, and I spend about 100 hours a year on the water and this will be my 6th season fishing socal.. I am very disappointed with them and I am considering seeking legal reparations because they almost burned my boat down do to negligence and caused damage.. We'll see.
