A soft Pacific light hovers over the pilings as an electric Duffy slips away from the dock—no engine roar, just the bay’s breeze nudging you past Navy ships, Coronado’s low silhouette, and the downtown skyline. On a 90-minute rental, the boat becomes both viewpoint and living room: indoor seating to stretch out, an aft deck for sunlit conversation, and a Bluetooth speaker cued to your playlist.
