I drove an electric boat for about 30 minutes, then took out an iced coffee from the second-floor café. It was more about taking in the scenery than speed, and having coffee in the same building made the route convenient. ## Good to know - **Address**: 강원특별자치도 양양군 양양읍 일출로 295 수상레포츠센터 및 카페 둔치 - **Café hours**: Daily 10:00 AM–9:00 PM; last order 8:30 PM (as listed in the original post) - **Boat hours**: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM (as listed in the original post) - **Electric boat price**: ₩30,000 for four people; ₩40,000 for six people, for about 30 minutes - **Layout**: Watersports on the first floor; café on the second floor - **Parking**: A large parking lot is available in front of the café - **Boat guidance**: Life jackets are worn before boarding, with staff instructions on operation and safety - **Boat amenities**: Bluetooth connection and cup holders available *as written by the visitor on Aug 18, 2026* During my trip to Yangyang, I wanted an experience different from sightseeing by the sea, so I visited Cafe Dunchi on the Namdaecheon River. It combines watersports and a café; I rode the electric boat first, then took out coffee separately after the experience. ![Visiting Cafe Dunchi on Yangyang's Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-0037/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-01-380pb-1200.webp) ![Electric boats and Cafe Dunchi on the Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-02-uqvls-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi and Namdaecheon experience in Yangyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-03-1pf7y-966.webp) ## Where is Cafe Dunchi, and is parking convenient? Cafe Dunchi is at 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun. The parking lot in front of the café was quite large, so it was convenient to visit by car. The building has watersports on the first floor and the café on the second floor. According to the original post, the café is open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with last orders at 8:30 PM. Boat hours differ from the café’s, running from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. ## How much are Namdaecheon electric boats, and how long is the ride? The electric boat is one you drive yourself on the Namdaecheon River for about 30 minutes. At the time of my visit, the listed price was ₩30,000 for four people and ₩40,000 for six people. We decided to ride the boat before going up to the café. ![Electric boat experience at Cafe Dunchi on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-04-mio0r-966.webp) ![Electric boat used on Yangyang's Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-05-1oqf9-966.webp) ## Is an electric boat easy to drive for first-timers? Before boarding, I put on a life jacket and listened to a staff member explain how to operate the boat and the safety precautions. You steer with a wheel, so it was simpler to operate than I expected, and even as a first-timer I adapted quickly. There were no pedals to push, so I could travel around the Namdaecheon River without much effort. ![Electric boat boarding experience at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-06-1ur0g-966.webp) ![Driving an electric boat on the Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-07-2bgp6-966.webp) ![Yangyang Namdaecheon scenery seen from an electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-08-1267j-966.webp) ![Enjoying an electric boat experience at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-09-1ny0r-966.webp) Holding the wheel and moving slowly myself made the view from the water feel different. It was not especially fast, so rather than being scary, it felt more like taking in the sights at ease in the breeze. I thought it would also be nice for couples or families to ride together. ![Namdaecheon scenery viewed from an electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-10-azxq7-966.webp) ## Can you listen to music on the boat? The electric boat supports Bluetooth, so you can play music you like while riding. There were cup holders too, but we decided to have coffee later, so we focused on steering and the scenery while on the boat. ![Electric boat experience enjoying Namdaecheon scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-11-1z04c-966.webp) At first, I thought 30 minutes would be enough, but time passed quickly as we changed direction, took photos, and listened to music. I enjoyed the time on the river enough that the experience felt short. ## Can you see the Namdaecheon River from the café after boating? After the boat experience, we went up to Cafe Dunchi on the second floor of the same building. It was convenient to have coffee without going elsewhere. The interior was more spacious than I expected, and its floor-to-ceiling windows looked out over the Namdaecheon River. ![Cafe Dunchi interior overlooking the Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-12-1jx13-966.webp) ![Spacious second-floor interior at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-13-5z9sm-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi interior with floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-14-lmpju-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi space with Namdaecheon River views](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-15-10fcb-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi interior visited after the boat experience](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-16-153mh-966.webp) ## What drinks and desserts does the café have? Along with coffee, there were options such as lattes and drinks made with house-made fruit syrups, plus simple desserts including bakery items and cookies. There were also drinks suitable for children, so it seemed like a reasonable place for families to stop by. Being able to rest with a drink upstairs immediately after enjoying watersports was convenient. ![Drinks and desserts at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-17-16mzu-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi space for choosing drinks and snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-18-1fh7c-966.webp) ![Desserts and drinks prepared at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-19-5kg2s-966.webp) ![Bakery items and desserts at Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-20-1i2p2-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi menu viewed after the boat experience](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-21-yqkrs-966.webp) ## In what order did I enjoy the boat and coffee? We did not sit in the café for long and took out iced coffee instead. After riding the boat, we drank it slowly while looking at the scenery around the Namdaecheon River. Focusing on driving during the boat ride, then having cool coffee after the experience, suited me well. What stayed with me was being able to continue from a self-driven experience to a cup of coffee in one place. I felt it would suit couples or families who want to add another activity besides sightseeing by the sea in Yangyang. ![Cafe Dunchi on Namdaecheon during a Yangyang trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-22-dhj9w-966.webp) ![Cafe Dunchi visit with boats and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-23-1tbqm-966.webp) ## Where it is - Cafe Dunchi (카페 둔치) (카페 둔치) - 295 Ilchul-ro, Yangyang-eup, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon State, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 양양군 양양읍 일출로 295 수상레포츠센터 및 카페 둔치 - 38.0953012, 128.6398237 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%20%EB%91%94%EC%B9%98/@38.0953012,128.6398237,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-margins/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-0037/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
