What Our Guests Are Saying
We've rented from several different boat rentals in Newport/Balboa and this is by far our favorite. Absolutely love their Chris-Craft looking boats and the owners are so nice and friendly. Love their dogs too! We've rented from them twice and boats are so well cared for and we love the Bluetooth stereo. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend this business for any celebration. I just spent my 23rd birthday here and it was one of the most enjoyable and pleasurable experiences. The owners were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Take a trip back in time as you rent from Riva de Balboa

This is the place to rent a boat on the harbor. The boats are beautiful and they don't look like rentals. You'll feel like you are on a mini vacation. It's a family owned business and Matt and his staff were great. Highly recommend. This was my third time going out. They take great care of their boats and just redid the cushions on the boat.

Hit the water in a European romantic watercraft for your birthday! At least that's what I did. The owners were so generous and accommodating; I rented for a sunset trip for my 23rd birthday with seven of my friends and we couldn't have had more fun. Of course Balboa is beautiful, the boat was clean and luxurious and the experience was worth every penny. 100% would recommend Riva De Balboa.

I cannot sing enough praises for Riva de Balboa and the entire experience from start to finish. We had the most amazing time and it started from the moment we were greeted on the dock. Matt and Jodi were so kind and fun and ensured we were going to have a blast and feel safe. I can’t recommend them enough!!

Our experience was great right from the beginning. All my questions were answered immediately, booking was easy and the communication was very helpful (especially the parking tips) The boat itself was clean and super easy to operate. We went out with our grown children for Father’s Day and had a great time. It was a prefect day on the water! We will definitely do it again!
