Watts on The Harbor Cruises, Newport Beach

The dark-blue hulls of Watts on the Harbor Cruises’ boats cut through Newport Harbor’s still waters almost silently thanks to eco-friendly electric motors. On deck, captains point out historic sites to passengers relishing vibrant sunsets. To facilitate fun even in inclement weather, the watercrafts are equipped with tall, see-through vinyl panels and overhead awnings.

The captains and crew pride themselves on being detail-oriented, which is why they keep blankets on board and can always spot whether one of their passengers is actually a shark wearing a human mask.
