I ordered an iced Americano and homemade lemon tea with my parents, then drove an electric boat for 30 minutes with our drinks. The slow speed felt steady, and the ride gave us enough time to take in the river scenery. ## Good to know - **Address**: 강원특별자치도 양양군 양양읍 일출로 295 수상레포츠센터 및 카페 둔치 - **Visit date**: Jul 27, 2026 - **Café hours at the time of visit**: Daily 10:00–21:00; last order 20:30 - **Boat hours at the time of visit**: 10:00–18:00; 30-minute experience - **Parking**: Large parking lot directly in front; free parking - **Ordered**: Iced Americano; homemade lemon tea - **Electric boat amenities**: Drinks allowed onboard; timer for checking remaining time; Bluetooth speaker *as written by the visitor on Aug 3, 2026* During my summer vacation on Jul 27, I visited the floating Cafe Dunchi and the Namdaecheon Water Leisure Sports Center on Yangyang’s Namdaecheon River with my parents.

After receiving our drinks, we went down to the boat dock on the first floor. ## Can you bring drinks onto the electric boat? Drinks were allowed on the electric boat, so we brought along the drinks we had ordered at the café. The experience involved driving the boat ourselves around the Namdaecheon River. ![Namdaecheon electric boat dock below Cafe Dunchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-14-1qol3-632.webp) The ride lasted 30 minutes, and a timer on the boat made it easy to check the remaining time. For me, it was enough time to enjoy the scenery. ![Electric boat driven on the Namdaecheon River](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-15-1xg9d-966.webp) ## What was the electric boat ride with my parents like? A staff member explained how to operate it. It worked by using buttons to turn it on and off, so I did not find driving difficult. The boat did not move very fast, which felt steady and made it comfortable to ride with my parents. ![Namdaecheon electric boat experience with my parents](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-16-1x16m-900.webp) There was a Bluetooth speaker in the boat, so we could listen to music we liked. Looking around the Namdaecheon River while listening to music felt like a relaxed break. ![Yangyang Namdaecheon scenery viewed from an electric boat](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-17-15bvm-900.webp) It rained a little during the experience. I found that scenery atmospheric as well. Around us were families and couples enjoying the boats. ![Families and couples enjoying boat rides on Namdaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-18-r155f-900.webp) ![Returning after the Namdaecheon water boat experience](https://img.superchart.com/images/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-13-1vhkb-900.webp) *Returning after the water boat experience* I was satisfied that I could enjoy both a café overlooking the Namdaecheon River and an electric boat in one visit. Being able to bring drinks onto the boat and park for free was especially convenient. It remains a place I would like to return to from my Yangyang trip with my parents. ## 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/@receipt-folder/dunchi-yangyang-namdaecheon-electric-boat-d481/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
