Fun under the sun with the Bayliner 190 Deck Boat!!
Great boat rental experience! Tazy was punctual, called several times before the trip, and was quick to respond to messages. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a few of her friends, and they had a blast! Tazy was helpful and showed us a great time. The floating mat was a hit! The speed of the boat was exhilarating, and we didn’t know the boat could reach such high speed. Tazy gave us a nice tour of the harbor and even took us to a place where we saw a bunch of seals. His pricing is also reasonable. It was well worth it. I highly recommend Tazy for your boat trip! Thank you Tazy for making my daughter’s birthday memorable!

I recently had the pleasure of using Doug and Donna's duffy boat services in June for a graduation brunch with my family. I had a great time! Our captain was Edwin who was an absolute pleasure to have on board. He was polite and offered additional information on the local scenery and assisted with DJ'ing and taking a group photo towards the end. The boat itself is just as described, very clean and spacious and fit 14 of my guests comfortably. Thank you all for your services and for making my event one to remember! :)

We had Captain Steve for our amazing 2 hour adventure at sea. We had an employee fun event with a group of 12. Making the reservation was super easy, communication pre-trip from Captain Doug & Donna was fantastic and they made sure we were well informed about our boat tour. The Captain met us in the parking lot area and all went so smoothly with boarding the boat. We had a beautiful scenic boat tour. I would highly recommend Captain Doug and Donna's boat tour for groups.
