    Thank you! My family and I had a blast! This was a nice smooth boat ride. Enjoyable with games for kids. Josiah was great with the kids and remembered everyone's names! Thank you Island Style Charters!

    Island Vibes in the Heart of Portland - 10/10 Tiki Boat Cruise! We had an amazing time with Island Style Charters on their 3-5pm tiki boat cruise! From start to finish, it was tropical fun right on the Willamette. Captain Dale, Mindy, Taylor, and the entire crew were absolute gems--super welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about making the experience unforgettable. The views were fantastic as we cruised past Portland's skyline and bridges in the afternoon sun--bright, breezy, and beautiful. The drinks were cold, tasty, and totally affordable (a rare combo these days!). Great music, good company, and an atmosphere that made everyone relax and enjoy. Whether you've got a small crew or want to fill the boat with 40+ of your favorite people, this is a can't-miss Portland activity. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just because you want to feel like you're on vacation for a couple hours. Support this awesome local biz--you'll be glad you did. We'll definitely be back!

    Great casual relaxing concept. Chill, hang out have a drink chat with friends and family. Captain Dale was great Kylie was helpful with drinks and pictures. Enjoy the Vibe worth it. Recommend to the staff in the future have one free welcome aboard splash drink like they do at the island resorts.

    It was a ton of fun! We even got to play corn hole and mini golf! The staff was very nice, it was a great experience for all!

    Terrific family event for Mother's Day. Informative, entertaining, peaceful, and relaxing. Great idea to visit Willamette Falls. We will have to try the bridges overview. Delicious snacks, and thoughtful menu for the 3-hr trip. You can tell this family is passionate about anything maritime, and have made a tremendous effort to provide a memorable experience. Great customer service - we had everything we need, but most importantly created a great memory. Loved the entire team. Thanks!

    What an amazing captain and crew. It was an awesome experience. The crew went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable, fun, relaxing, beautiful little cruise on the Willamette River, while throwing in some fun facts and trivia about the history of our surroundings. We are looking forward to booking more trips in the future. The tiki pontoon boat is beautiful and great memories were made playing corn hole, putting , sight seeing, good island vibe music, enjoying a glass of wine, spending time with family and learning new things about our beautiful city of Portland on the Willamette. I highly recommend this wonderful experience and Island Style Charters. Happy cruising.

    Best charter cruise!!! Amazing hospitality from Dale and Mindy! They were friendly and an absolute joy. It was totally worth it with great views. We ever did it in the rain at night and we were not cold at all!

    Captain Dale and his crew (Josiah, AJ, Kylie) make every trip welcoming and enjoyable with breathtaking scenery. We have done the 2 hour Palapa adults only Happy Hour cruise and 3 hour waterfall cruise to Willamette Falls. I have never been this close to these amazing Falls. So relaxing! Can't wait for our next cruise!

    We were in town for a conference and this was the perfect way to spend one of our afternoons. We played games and were able to do some sightseeing from the river. The crew was so fun and they have a clean portable restroom on board.

    What is the cost?

    I think we paid $45 but their pricing could be different depending on wrist cruise you take. Check out their website

    3 1/2 Stars - This is a difficult review to write…read more May 22, 2026 we went on our third Portland Spirit Cruise. We upgraded to the "Admiral Package," as this was a special Rose Festival Cruise, concluding with a fireworks display. The cruise itself was wonderful. The live piano music is a lovely enhancement, and the atmosphere was buoyant ;-). Every staff member was a delight and the captain is charming. But - The Food: Our appetizers were interesting, Mr. Wonderful ordered the Shrimp Cocktail and said it was alright. I had the Cheese Platter, some of the cheeses were hard, (as in dried out) and the crostini was *overly hard, bordering on stale. The salads were good, the dressing delicious. For our mains, I ordered the pasta dish. I took perhaps four bites and stopped eating. The pasta was far beyond al dente, the vegetables were almost unrecognizable - it lacked flavor or texture. Mr. Wonderful ordered the Beef Short ribs, and was happy with his meal. I'm going to chalk this up to me ordering incorrectly. Table clearing was another issue, our bread tray and appetizer plates remained on the table far too long. When our main courses were delivered, there was no room. We ordered our desserts and coffee. We received our coffee about 10 minutes afterwards. Then we watched as our server, served a large table next to us their desserts and a couple of other tables nearby. He may have been overwhelmed as this deck was extremely busy. Anyway, after waiting 20 plus minutes more, we requested our dessert, again. Cold coffee and dessert = not great. Our meal service from start to finish was disorganized. Viewing the fireworks from the top deck was a treat! We enjoy cruising with Portland Spirit and will do so again, but we would *not purchase the upgrade. Hint: Request (and pay for) a window seat on the *second deck, as the views are much more desirable.

    Sometimes it quite difficult trying to figure out exactly what gifts to buy for your family members…read moreeach year so instead of buying each person a gift, I gifted my entire family this wonderful lunch cruise offered by Portland Spirit. Everyone in my family (wife and 3 adult kids) had a blast. Our server, Liliana, was quite accommodating and did a great job taking care of our food, drinks and deserts. The Manager, Cory, was welcoming as well. He brought us to our seats and also sang a song for someone who was celebrating birthday/anniversary along with our live piano player. Captain Cody did a great job navigating the boat up and down the river. The ride was smooth and enjoying. What a great experience! The food was delicious and generous portions. I had the marinated beef, while we tried the chicken and blackened steelhead. All delicious! The complimentary bread was the show stopper. It was a focaccia bread that had some thickness to the dough yet delicious and quite addicting. We had a chance to walk up to the top deck to get some fresh air. The forward part of the boat is covered which what we needed since it was sprinkling outside. The deck was wet but one of the crew members was quick to sweep the water away from the deck to avoid any accidents. We are looking forward to the cruise again but for dinner and probably not until end of spring or summer when the weather gets better. Parking garage is 1 block away. We went on a Saturday and the parking was flat rate $6 which was reasonable.

It was time to let it go and we put it in the hands of  Mike Fitz-Hugh at Passion Yachts to find a buyer. Michael Taylor also worked on it. Finally an offer was made and the boat was sold.  This sailboat was not going to earn a big commission, but they worked on it like it would. Michael Taylor stayed in constant touch with us and steered us through any rough waters. No praise is too high for these fine men who operate with such fairness and high integrity. It gives them great pleasure to make two people happy--the buyer and the seller. We couldn't be happier. D. & H. Nealey Happy Valley, Oregon.

The Passion Yacht team went out of their way to help us schedule our classes to fit our needs. Doing our 101 with Jen turned out to be very instructive given her sailing knowledge and racing experience, on top of being a great and fun teacher. We sailed with John for almost a week and enjoyed that experience immensely, especially his attention to detail, his easy-going ways and his methodical, disciplined manner of sailing, and thoroughness in guiding and teaching us, always mindful of us learning and applying the lessons. We enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Passion Yachts Team!

They provided water and while we were driving, our tour guide provided rich history of the valley and the land. We visited three excellent wineries and had different experiences at each of them. The first was a traditional and one of the oldest wineries, then we went to another winery that served white Pinot Noir, which was amazing, and we went to another modern winery with a really rich history as well, and it was by far the sleekest winery we visited. I love that they curated the tour to highlight different practices in organic and biodynamic farming. We learned a lot during our time together. We also had opportunities to venture off on our own, which served us well because we didn't want to feel forced to engage with people we were never going to see again. I highly recommend this tour company, especially if you want to learn about the terroir of the Willamette Valley. We also highly recommend visiting their beautiful and well stocked tasting room in Portland!

(This is their typical tour size.) The very detailed pre-trip questionnaire we had completed ensured we would visit just the right boutique wineries for our interests. (Our favorite was Arlyn, but each offered a very different experience.) Our guide, Aron, who has worked in the wine industry, was very knowledgeable and shared lots of good information--including about unrelated topics like places to eat in Portland. He also picked up lunch for us at The Horse Radish in Carlton, so we could eat at one of the wineries and not waste time driving. Be sure to read the FAQ page on the Backcountry Wine Tours website for details on how joinable tours work, how they select wineries, etc.
