Hopper Boat Rentals

I love to spend my Sundays with my family just cruising around the harbor in one of the electric boats you can rent here. Sometimes we pack a picnic and spend 2 hours on the water. Everyone is really friendly around the harbor and there is plenty of wildlife to see. Yep, I am a big fan!

It’s nice to have a boat rental option in Oxnard and this place meets the need. However, the boats are pretty basic and slow and you really can’t go anywhere except within the channel. There’s not that much to see except the houses but you can enjoy pretty much the same view from walking in the area.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Hopper Boat Rental. We decided to go paddleboat and kayaking on Veteran’s Day. We checked the night before to see if the hours were different. We were told they open at 11:30 AM (even though it continue to say 10:30AM on Unilocal). We showed up at 11:30AM and no one showed up till 12:00PM! We sat around waiting half an hour!
Then when we go out rental, they never measured my height to the paddle that were given to me. I felt like the paddles didn’t fit me quite right and made it extremely difficult throughout the whole experience. My board was hard to control against the current and I ended up falling in the water with three sea lions that were startled by my out-​of-​control paddle board! (Partially my fault for probably getting a bit close in the first place but I couldn’t steer even if I wanted to). Literally, my friend had to use his own paddle board which was 2x the rental size and ram my board to get me back to shore or I will drift wherever the wind and current blows! Probably will not be returning to this specific store.

Great place to rent a kayak ($ 12 for a single rider and $ 20 for a double rider kayak).
My coworkers decided to go kayaking for the 4^th of July and it was a lovely day out. It wasn
