This was a great little boat tour of the river. I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely…read morehusband-wife couple doing all the tours; the captain invites all to come and steer the ship a little and has an honorary captain document for the smaller ones. They were very lovely and definitely added to the experience. The boat goes kinda slow, the regular speed setting for this method of travel, but its all the more to take in the sites and all the bridges. It also allows you time to chow down on their food (full taco bowl) and mixed/adult drinks and take multiple pictures from all around the ship. And the little one was able to enjoy a virgin strawberry rita so they can make drinks for the kids too. I enjoyed the leisurely pace, in fact I might have enjoyed it lasting 1.5-2 hour trip; it was an hour long experience overall from take off to landing.

We had time to walk around the boat and enjoy the view of the river from a calm ride. The boat has a wraparound deck up top and a very unique and interesting interior decor.

Rose is her name and Captain Shane was not disappointing! Not only was he our Captain, oh Captain, he was extremely informative (educating us on safety protocol) open for questions, and pictures at the helm!We couldn't have asked for a more personable & entertaining Captain! In fact, I'd pay to see him in a comedy club! The ship itself holds 49 passengers and its big enough to move around and not feel like sardines, all packed in shoulder to shoulder. It has 2 bathrooms, a small kitchen with salon and I believe it's 3 levels. The only warning that I have is the dock is quite steep on your way to the ship and what goes down must come up, so it's not the easiest return to the parking lot but it's doable. I.e., I have had both knees replaced and have chronic back pain and I made it. Wear good shoes. We were on the river right at 6:30 and Captain Shane immediately put the mainsail up. I felt like I was back East, Westport Harbor, Mass. in 1976! My buddies and I were out on little skiffs when the Tall Ships started heading home after participating in the 1976 Bi Centennial celebrations They were absolutely majestic and a sight that I will remember forever! I want to say to both locals and visitors that the, Schooner Rose, is a special gift to everyone that enjoys gorgeous sunsets, our beautiful river and that lazy kind of feeling you get sailing! You will forget, even for an hour and a half, your problems, the worlds problems and the uncertainties that come with it all! BEST prescription ever!! Thanks, Captain Shane, and crew, for a memorable experience!

It was a beautiful evening on the Columbia River with ample room to move around the ship and 3 decks. We sat on the couch on the forward part of the ship and it was like being in our living room but with an amazing view. Captain Shane even allowed me to captain the ship and put on his captain's hat for a bit and his first mate showed me how to use the rudder control and compass and some basic right of way rules. I had a blast. Truly a one of a kind experience. They offered snacks as well and at the end of the tour, we sat on the ship docked with our friends and watched the sun fully set, talked with Captain Shane, and I even got a tour of the engine room. Hands down the best boat cruise in Portland. You can even bring your own drinks and food and we had a little picnic onboard. Note that in the future, they will AirBnB out the ship which would be an awesome stay.

Andy took our group out 9/5 for a day of albacore fishing…read more Boat and gear was top notch and you could tell Andy takes pride in his outfit. Weather before our trip had been very tough with high winds and rough seas. We lucked out on weather but fish were scattered and not biting at first. Andy used his years of experience and we ended up with a pretty good haul of quality sized albacore. Our group was half experienced anglers and half newbies. Andy and Jim took their time and made sure everyone was comfortable and got the most out of the adventure. There are many things to see and do in and around Garibaldi. We stayed in Rockaway Beach (Andy's on the money recommendation!) and explored from Tillamook up to Brighton and there are still many places and things we want to go back and see. I would highly recommend Andy and Pacific Offshore Charters. Great crew, great boat and spectacular area to fish. Give him a call and tell him Jerry sent you!

I am very happy with our experience and I would highly recommend Pacific Offshore Charters to anyone looking for a high quality fishing trip off the Oregon coast.
