Ahhhhh...what's better than waking up in the morning to ocean waves, a clear beautiful day and getting ready to go yachting in the bay?? Not much that I can think of. Unless it is your yacht, and your multi-million dollar beach house, and you have nothing better to do than cruise the bay and drink Champagne on a Tuesday morning. Yes, the FUN STARTS HERE NOW.
Christina & Lex arranged for us to rent a Duffy for the day. These wonderful little vessels are the hidden gems of Newport! Lived in SoCal my whole life, and I had never been on one, or known you could rent one. I have been missing out on life! These little boats are battery/electric powered and last for a few hours at at time to allow you to cruise around the bay. The Newport bay has a huge canal system that gets you all around the whole area via waterways. Some of the restaurants along the bay have docks where you can stop & use the bathrooms, eat, or stock up on drinks. Drake was the captain and drove us all over the place...mainly because he was the only one not drinking :) Also because he insisted that he be the "captain". He did a great job! We planned for and brought a boatload (literally!) of drinks and food. We had an amazing spread of delicious snacks that lasted us all day. We even had some champagne soaked broccoli (unintentional, however not bad). We also had a cooler full of champagne, wine, waters, etc. We had unlimited playlists of music, and could have stayed out there all day...but the battery was almost done so we headed back to the dock! We did cruise the whole bay though, taking in the views of the amazing homes and yachts docked in front of them. Where do people get his kind of money?! We can dream....and dream we did.
Seriously for anyone looking for something fun to do in Newport Beach for a day, consider renting a Duffy!! They are amazing and cannot wait to be able to do it again!!! Definitely come prepared with your own food & drinks though...it absolutely makes the trip!
