Lovely afternoon on the river

An easy glide on the Willamette with interesting history commentary. Our captain was pleasant and informative.

Fun Activity!

It was a lot of Fun. Captain Chris was great! He knows a lot about sailing and it was a great learning experience.

Didn't sail!

Joanie_Q, Sep 2024

Arrived and was told "oh well there's no wind so we will be motoring around" Was told I could've checked the wind conditions and cancelled 24 hrs in advance (it was up to me to find this out instead of the person offering the service who could not deliver the service) I wanted a sailing experience and did not get one. Another passenger brought his eighty year old something father, who taught him to sail, for a sailing experience he also did not get! Motoring around at 2.5 knots for 90 min was excruciating after looking forward to a sailing experience. What I'm saying is they should reschedule with clients if they cannot provide the service that we paid for. This being said, Captain Chris was personable and professional and tried to make the best of the situation. I'm so sorry I paid $98 to put-put around the Willamette

Fun trip. Plan for rain.

The captain was entertaining. The city is lovely from the water. I particularly enjoyed seeing a blue heron.

Wonderful tour! A bit of a mix-up with...

Wonderful tour! A bit of a mix-up with times, but Shane made it work for our schedule. We ended getting a very personal tour with lots of interesting details and information. Shane was incredible! We can't wait to return to Portland and explore the city and area more. We will certainly connect with Shane for another trip and /or insights to the city of Portland. We had a fabulous time!
