    “We loved our harbor tours with Kathy. We’ve been three times! Her tours are relaxing, fun and they bring Newport Harbor to life with tidbits on the native Californian presence when it was but a tidal flat, the developers (some good, some not so), the first residents in the 1920s, and a little bit on the who’s- who of today. I highly recommend this adventure!”

    “Our guide, Kathy piloted us around beautiful homes which can only be viewed from the water. Her tour included facts and tidbits about the creation of the harbor and the past and present tenants. Sunset is a particularly beautiful time, with many opportunities for photos. We even saw some wildlife!  I look forward to bringing visiting friends and family on future excursions!”

    “Kathy was delightful! She is flexible, respectful and demonstrates such a passion for historical background of her surroundings! We had a fantastic evening viewing the fabulous mansions and yachts of the rich and famous. A gorgeous sunset was icing on the visual cake. Kathy introduced us to several landmarks and answered all our questions. Kathy’s intrigue and enthusiasm draws you into the mystery of the past while delivering a visual feast in a quiet, safe, electric boat.”

    “I truly enjoyed my harbor boat tour with Kathy. The Duffy boat is just the right size for a group of friends, not too large to hear the well-informed and historical stories about the many points of interest in and around the harbor. Kathy’s ability to answer any questions we asked was truly impressive! This harbor cruise was not only relaxing and peaceful but also educational and fun!

    I highly recommend Kathy as your cruise director. Take a cruise with Kathy, you’ll be glad you did!”
