One of our captains described the ride as a mix of Pirates of the Caribbean, the Teacups, and Splash Mountain--which is surprisingly accurate! The price is fair, the experience is unforgettable, and it's something I'd highly recommend for both locals and anyone visiting Portland.

Had an amazing experience out on the river with the Jetboat team. We live in Portland see these…read moreboats go by every single day, and figured it was time to give it a try ourselves. I'm happy we did. Our driver Doug was fantastic and mixed in the perfect amount of education, fun, and humor into his talk track. I learned some things about Portland that I wasn't ever aware of! Would definitely recommend doing this on a HOT day as you will definitely get wet. We went out in a 90+ degree day, and thus the water spray was cool and refreshing. In lower temps I can assure that you will likely get cold given the speed of the boat and temp of the water. First couple rows, you'll likely get soaked, so sit towards the back if you want to avoid that.

The young man said yes, they have food. So I asked what they offered and he replied that they have a deli. Great! So we head on up there planning on having a picnic. It was not a deli. It was deep fried stuff like you find in a gas station. I guess that's what kids call delis' now.

The check-in process was straightforward, and the staff took the time to explain the boat's features, safety procedures, and recommended routes on the river. We spent several hours cruising the Willamette, enjoying the scenery and stopping to relax along the way. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and had plenty of room for our group and our gear. As first-time renters, we appreciated that the staff answered all of our questions and made sure we felt comfortable before leaving the dock. If you're looking for a great way to spend a day on the water in Portland, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try. We'll be back again next season.

The boat was super clean, ran perfect, and had plenty of space for everyone. The crew down at the dock was awesome--they gave us a quick run-through of the river rules and where the no-wake zones were so we didn't get into any trouble. Cruising past downtown at sunset was amazing. Super honest group, no weird hidden fees with the gas at the end, and just a really smooth experience. Definitely doing this again before summer ends.

There is plenty of parking, a small playground, 12 picnic tables on the park side (there might be a couple more on the boat launch side, I don't recall), a restroom facility and the boat launch. The boat launch is on the opposite side of the road from the park. There is a fair amount of open grassy space to let the kids run around or play frisbee, etc. We didn't see any BBQ grills but they do have a hot coals disposal area if you want to bring your own portable grill. There were several people fishing along the river when we stopped by and saw one family playing in a small sandy area along the river. The river current is quite swift in the section by the park because of some curves in the river, so I wouldn't advise allowing small children to wade in the water here as they could easily be swept away, and because of this I'm not sure if swimming is even allowed (I didn't see mention of it on their website, but don't recall what the local signage said).

You can bring your own gear, or use theirs for free! No license required since it is a farm.

We were told that if the roots of the fish became tangled, they would not replace them, and we were advised to bring our own equipment in a way that felt unnecessarily aggressive.

"We've visited this fish farm many times, but this visit was extremely upsetting. The staff refused to give us the equipment we needed and spoke to us in a harsh, unprofessional way. When the owner came over, he was aggressive, told me not to speak, and asked our whole group to leave -- including our two kids (9 and 11) who were checking in with us, and even my daughter's Girl Scout group who had not spoken to him at all. He raised his voice at the children, leaving them very upset. Based on this experience, we cannot recommend this place.
