Fantastic Time - What an absolute wonderful time with Captain Charles! He is a great host on his boat and a great tour guide full of knowledge of the surrounding areas. We saw some great bridges, eagles, the Free Willy Home, and not to mention the spectacular falls. Definitely worth it. Thank you, Captain Charles, for the most memorable time!

Pefect family reunion outing - Perfect family trip. Boat Captain Stephen was punctual; very kind; knowledgeable about the river, area, community, and points of interest; as well as being chill and funny. Boat was roomy and comfortable and felt absolutely safe. "Perfect" came out of these family members more on this trip than at any other time, ever.

Great private boat tour - My husband and I took the private tour of the Willamette river in August 2024. The captain was friendly and very knowledgeable about the city of Portland, the river and a many bridges and wildlife that we saw on the river two hour tour was relaxing and so enjoyable. Our one suggestion would be that maybe some amenities could have been offered during the trip such as water and/or some snacks
