We are open Monday-Sunday: 10:00am – 5:00pm

We are located right next to the Balboa Island Ferry at 504 South Bay Front Newport Beach, CA 92662. Our phone number is (949) 603-3020.

To make your arrival smoother and reduce the total cost of your rental receive a $20.00 discount to park across the harbor on the peninsula at one of our suggested locations and take the scenic ferry ride across the harbor directly to our dock. Present proof of off-site parking on the peninsula or rideshare service for credit.

Parking on the peninsula is available on the street, at the pier parking lot and valet parking. Any of these options provide easy access to the ferry entrance.

We strongly recommend this option for the best experience as the peninsula parking and ferry combination is often faster and more convenient than trying to park on Balboa Island.

Please arrive at least 45–60 minutes prior to your departure to allow for parking and ferry travel time.
