He was very communicative and flexible…read more He watched the weather reports to insure we would get out on the perfect day during our visit to the coast. He has a custom made boat with advanced technology. Andy also has decades of experience fishing in that area and we had almost constant action, achieving our limit with very little down time. Andy was also a pleasure to be around and made the experience a blast for my son. We kept our fish and crabs and they are truly delicious and we have lots of fish left over in our freezer. 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.

They were extremely helpful, friendly, kind and excited for us. I can NOT recommend them enough. Thank you for making it such a great day for my kids and I!

This is for the 4/19 Spring Splendor Excursion from Rockaway Beach to Wheeler…read more Overall a nice pleasant experience, except that the person on the microphone spoke too quickly and didn't explain some of the train specific terms that are not very common. It would have been nice to spend more time in Wheeler shopping. The train seems to move at a snails pace in some parts.

Rockaway Beach is where she mentioned the pick your crab and eat it restaurant and I saw picnic…read moretables there too. The ticket/seating system is ok although I thought she said to go back to the same seats after the rest stop. My seat was taken so I took the closest seat and the guy across me said the same thing. People were in their seats too. Over all, it was nice to sit and take in the views except for the port-a-pottys that we had to use during the stop. I did see bathrooms nearby but it was gated off so hopefully next time they're working.

I was one of 6 in our crew and whatever 'idea' I had in my mind, the trip far surpassed my expectations by oceans! Captain Kevin & Miles are OUTSTANDING! It can get chaotic out there, but Miles & Kevin are two of the coolest gents & they keep the energy calm & FUN! Miles had that deck operating like a well oiled Tuna killing machine. They make you feel comfortable & it is clear their #1 priority is our safety & experience. Within MINUTES of dropping lines, we were catching Tuna (no exaggeration). Captain Kevin knew EXACTLY where to take us & Miles knew exactly how to handle the deck. We ended our trip with 20 Albacore Tuna, all of which were 30+ lbs (except Nate's - HA) & 12 Dungeness Crabs . Captain Kevin made sure we were prepared from the time we booked to the day of because he cares so much about our experience & that we were prepared. I never use the word 'perfect' because it is rare that anything ever is...but in this case, it was epically perfect. THANK YOU, Captain Kevin & Miles for making this a legendary experience for me. I truly appreciate it & will see you again next year!!!

This is the best port in Tillamook bay for crabbing and accessing the ocean…read more It offers 4 boat launch lanes, ample free parking for cars, $10 boat launch/trailer parking fee, free life preservers to borrow, and convenient nearby bait shops, restaurants, and restrooms. Also there's now a nearby food cart pod just off highway 101, so you'll have lunch/dinner covered if you don't have much luck fishing/crabbing.

Interesting reviews for this little town. Three stars because most places are closed on…read moreSunday?!?!? Maybe the hard working folks in this town need a day off? Or they are at church giving thanks? The pile of lumber the karen complained about is apparently long gone. I've been coming here a few times a year for the past 35 years or so and I can't say that I've ever seen her opinion of an eyesore. And creosote is not especially harmful unless you consume it in large quantities. So let's talk about the good in Garibaldi and there is plenty of that here. Not a lot of places to eat but there are a few. With the scamdemic dining options are more limited but I'm sure the shop owners are suffering a lot more than their hungry wannabe patrons. The OCSR runs daily excursion trains daily during summer hours up to Rockaway. They also do very limited availability runs up to Salmonberry if you are lucky enough to get on one of those. The track bed gets increasingly rough as the years go by and that line did go all the way to Banks (and perhaps to Hillsboro if I recall correctly) not that long ago. The marina is great. I don't happen to have a boat but I love going there and talking to the skippers of old wooden vessels and taking photographs. These sailors come from all over and are mostly very friendly and happy to chat with dumb tourists like myself. The only negative, and it's really not a serious negative due to safety reasons but there is often a cop with radar at either end of town. I don't know what the limit is for actually getting a ticket but a small amount of inattention could potentially spoil your whole day. Of course if you run someone over because you are speeding that would spoil their whole day so..... Garibaldi is one of my favorite little towns along 101 and I've run the length of it from the Olympic peninsula to California.

John is probably the best guide on the in the Nehalem/ Tillamook River. He's a retired firefighter…read morewho's been fishing for over 30 years in the area. He knows the Nehalem river Chinook run better than anyone else. He took us out in the ocean in 200 feet of water for some great Coho fishing. The best reason to go out with John is that he's a hell of a guy. He has an incredibly distinguished client roster--the who's who of Portland--who keep coming back again and again. In the summer, he takes anyone from 11-year olds fishing with their dads for the first time, business people, or experienced fishermen looking to learn a few things. He fished with us for over 8 hours until we got our fish.
