Boat Rentals of America (Boats4Rent) is a family-owned boat rental company founded April 1, 1992 in Newport Beach, California — still the flagship location today — with additional locations in Oceanside, California, and Pleasant Harbor, Tempe Town Lake, and Copper Sky Park, Arizona.
The fleet varies by location: In-Harbor Powerboating and Electric Boats (Duffy Boats) are available in Newport Beach and Oceanside, California; Human-Powered Kayaks are available in Oceanside, Tempe, and Copper Sky Park; and Wakeboarding Boats, Pontoons, and PWC (Jet Skis) are available at Pleasant Harbor, Arizona. A Pleasant Harbor Boat Club membership option offers significant savings over standard rentals for repeat boaters.
Beyond boat rentals, the Oceanside location offers an 800-foot Parasailing Adventure over Oceanside’s coastline (fun and safe for ages 6+, wet or dry options available) through partner Top Gun Parasail, and the business maintains a rotating inventory of quality pre-owned Boats For Sale.
Newport Beach’s signature Duffy boat rentals are genuinely popular for cruising Balboa Island and Newport Harbor, watching luxury yachts, and enjoying golden-hour sunset cruises — with flexible 1-hour rental options available 7 days a week, unlike many competitors’ 2-hour minimums, along with dolphin-watching excursions.
For families and groups near Newport Beach or Oceanside, California, or across several Arizona lake/harbor destinations, looking for a well-established, more than 30-year family-owned boat rental with electric Duffy boats, powerboats, kayaks, pontoons, or jet skis, Boat Rentals of America offers a genuinely wide-reaching, multi-state operation.
