Giants Victory Parade

We are proud to say that yesterday was a very big day for our sister company, Classic Cable Car Partners.

We had 15 Cable Cars that held San Francisco's most famous and beloved Giants Champions and we were lucky enough to catch Lincicum, Torres, Posey (to name a few) on film! Check out this fantastic video and if you have any cool pictures yourself, please share!

Meet Splash

As the official mascot for Ride The Ducks, Splash is an animated, ducky caricature that is the face of a company that sells nothing but fun! Standing at 6’0” and weighing in at a whopping 200 pounds, Splash’s sunny disposition exemplifies the personality of Ride The Ducks. Considered “fowl” by some, most children and adults gravitate to this fun-loving mascot upon first sight.
Everywhere he goes, Splash gives a little piece of himself away…even when he’s not available to hop aboard personally to join guests for their “quack-tacular” tour of the City-by-the-Bay. As a special souvenir for Ride The Ducks patrons, Splash has trademarked his fabulously famous “bill” and replicated his own “Wacky Quackers™” which is gifted to each rider so that they too can make a big splash during their journey through San Francisco. View my complete profile here.

About the Duck Vehicle

Ducks were first built by General Motors in 1942 and were basically a truck enclosed in a water-tight shell. You may think they are called ducks because they can splash into the water and out again, but actually DUKW is a military acronym. The letters are codes indicating that it was designed in 1942 (D), for utility/amphibious purposes (U), with front wheel drive (K), and two rear driving axles (W).

The first operational use of the DUKW was in March, 1943, when the U.S. landed Army troops on Noumea, New Caledonia. Later organized into companies, the DUKW displayed its versatility by carrying ammunition directly from anchored ships to shore.

Today Ride The Ducks is the amphibious tour industry leader - with over 75 vehicles in operation on rivers, lakes, bays and other waterways around the USA. The Ride The Ducks vehicle is considered a "state of the art" amphibious vehicle vehicle built from the ground up to maximize a safe and comfortable tour for our guests. US Coast Guard certified Ride The Ducks vehicles are not refurbished WWII vehicles. You can read more about our vehicles here.
