    Exceeded our expectations!

    We had a great experience renting a pedal boat on June 4th. Christian was extremely friendly and helpful. We weren't sure if our dog would settle down on the boat and weren't sure of her balance as she had a rear leg amputated only two months ago due to bone cancer. We needn't have worried. Our typically anxious girl was very calm. Christian and his dog were very welcoming and had a chill vibe. I was amazed at how well Sunny did on the ride. I would definitely do this again and next time I would be less anxious knowing how well she did the first time. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much Christian also helped me. I have multiple sclerosis. Walking on the floating dock and getting on and off the boat was a bit of a challenge but I knew Christian was there to help if I needed it. He carried my backpack so that I didn't have to balance with it on.

    Great experience!

    We had a great experience, Eco Boat rentals gave very detailed directions on where to park and how to find their dock. It was our first boat/water activity besides the beach. I have a 64 pound blind husky and he loved it! He was initially hesitant to get on the boat but the staff was super friendly and encouraging! He had plenty of room in the back to maneuver around and lay down or spread out. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

    Great outdoor activity!

    If your looking for a fun outdoor family activity check out Eco Boat Rentals! Our family and pup had the best time! Super friendly staff, and they took the extra steps to keep us safe! Love that dogs are allowed! Our pup enjoyed the boat ride and she got a treat at the end! We were luck enough to see Sea Lions up close and beautiful views of downtown! The paddle boat was very easy and smooth, even our kids had fun peddling! Thank you Eco Boat Rentals, We will be back!

    Great dog-friendly activity

    We loved our sunset and afternoon peddle boating experiences. The staff is super friendly, we enjoyed being on the water and Ruby was so comfortable in both situations.

    We had such an amazing experience. The staff were very friendly and very knowledgeable. Our dog Bucky enjoyed it so much. We will definitely come here more often! Also, love how they have life jackets for the dogs - we didn’t have to bring our own. 100% recommended! This is a must-do when you’re in San Diego with your pet!

    A fun new experience!

    We had such a fun time! Our dog had never been on the water before so we wanted to start on a slightly larger boat and work our way to eventually having her on a kayak! This was the perfect start, the two person pedal boat was large enough for her to relax and get her sea legs (For reference our dog is 80lbs). The staff here were also nice and helpful! The pedaling was a bit of a work out so skip leg day before hand. Also, heed their warning and give yourself enough time to find parking!

    Amazing experience!!!

    We did a sunset sail on July 4th and it was magnificent!
    Our 60 pound Karelian Bear Dog had a blast. Highly recommend Captain Russ and Kate!
    Not only is it fun but also a company with a purpose to keep the bay clean!

    So much fun!

    I love finding fun things to do with my pup. I'm so glad we found Eco Boat Rentals! They were super nice, extremely cleanly and very patient with my 3 dogs who were clearly nervous. Couldn't recommend them more!

    Dumbo had a great time!

    Our dog Dumbo was a little bit nervous at the beginning(he does not like water), but started to enjoy the breeze later when he got used to the boat~

    Your Dogs Will Love It (and so will you)

    We went out on a Monday afternoon hyrdroboat adventure before sunset. It was so peaceful. Honestly we didn't even go far we had fun just finding a quiet place in the Marina. We floated and enjoyed the views. My dogs loved it. They could hear the sea lions and they could smell all the smells. The one hour we were out was perfect for us. The service was GREAT. 10/10 would recommend to all my dog friends.

    A Paw-sitive Experience

    My husband and I were on the look out for a safe, COVID-19 activity that was family inclusive. Ellie, our German Shepherd is part of our little family and loves to do activities. Eco Boat Rentals was a PERFECT match for what we were looking for. Fun under the sun and completely pet friendly.

    Fun on the bay

    We had a wonderful time paddling with our three dogs. Plenty of room. Even with 3 adults. Boat is shaded and easy to paddle. We would highly recommend.

    BEST FUN IDEA!

    Seriously, the best idea for active fun outdoors with your family, loved ones, and of course your furry friends. We had an amazing time kayaking with my family and my Pomeranian (his happy face is a proof) 😁 100% Recommend! You will definitely be satisfied. Don’t forget sunscreen and water 😉
