Our Portland Public boat tours embark and disembark at South Waterfront Park, 2001 S River Drive, Portland, OR 97201 near Riverplace Marina. For private charters, pick-up and drop-off locations can be customized to fit your parties needs.

We have a small toilet on board, but please use the restroom before boarding (especially for kids!) and follow the “no solids” rule. The toilet is small, like a port-a-potty, but it requires a lot of upkeep, so we appreciate your help in keeping it clean and functional for everyone.

Party boat guests can enjoy a selection of beer, wine, cider, and other beverages during the trip. Drinks can either be included in your charter package or purchased onboard, and you’re even welcome to bring your own (with a license) and additional charge.

While we don't allow outside food; we offer a variety of pre-packaged “island style” snacks that can be made available for purchase by your guests or in advance. For a more luxurious party boat cruise, hors d’oeuvres, deserts and even dinner can be pre-arranged to create the perfect dream event.

There are a couple public parking garages within a short walking distance from the embarkation dock as well as paid on-street parking. Download Portland, Oregon parking apps in advance for added convenience.

Captain, deckhand and bartender(s) Included

You can bring your own tunes & plug right into our premium sound system or enjoy our tropical-themed playlist. We are also partnered with local Portland entertainers who can host games, activities and relationship building to fit the vibe you desire. We also have cornhole boards and a fun mini golf putting game available for use.

Cancellations made 30+ days before the charter will receive a full refund or can apply the payment toward rescheduling. Cancellations made 15-29 days before the charter will receive a 50% refund, and the remaining 50% can be used as credit for a future booking. Cancellations made 7 days or less before the charter are non-refundable, but the full amount can be applied as credit for a future booking.
