We've fished for salmon, halibut, bottom fish, and gone crabbing, and every trip has been a good time. Don knows the water, works hard to get you on fish, and always makes the day enjoyable whether the fishing is hot or not. If you're looking for a guide, I highly recommend him. After six years of fishing with Don, I wouldn't book with anyone else.

We took a Dungeness crabbing tour through the charter service on the Spindrift. The captain and…read moremate were both very friendly and we chatted quite a bit with the mate while we were pulling up crab. The charter was supposed to be 90 minutes, but it turned out to be 150 minutes. We pulled up 13 or 14 pots in 60-100' waters. Three of the guests helped deal with the pots. One had a hook and pulled the bouy into the boat. The second pulled in the line for the pot and the third helped the mate get the pot into the boat. Over the course of the 2 1/2 hours, we caught 114 male legal crabs. When we returned, each guest got eight Dungeness crabs. So for us that meant 16 crabs. You had a choice of having them cook the crab for you or take it home and cook it yourself. We chose the second option. It was a beautiful day, but there were 3 to 5 foot swells. So if you have problems with seasickness, take some medication before you go out. It's worth mentioning that on top of the cost of the charter, each guest must buy a crabbing license from the state of Oregon for $37 out of state.

The oysters here are super fresh and creamy! Located along a beautiful waterfront, there are picnic benches and oyster knives you can borrow so you can shuck your own!

What made it worse was seeing her treat other customers nicely while giving us an unwelcome and hostile attitude, which honestly felt discriminatory. We drove out of our way during a road trip specifically for fresh oysters based on Yelp photos. Claudia abruptly told us they don't shuck oysters for customers. When I asked to purchase one of the shucking knives they clearly had displayed, she just gave us a hard 'no.' Unprofessional and very unwelcoming." So disappointing.

This was the kids first time fishing on a boat and the crew were amazing with the kiddos by patiently teaching them the techniques of fishing and were genuinely enthusiastic whenever they caught a fish. Half way into the trip the captain noticed that Salmon were running and changed gears to start trolling. Within a few minutes we caught our first Coho and when all was done ended up with 4 keepers while 4 more had to be released due to them being native species! This meant that we ended up staying out longer than anticipated but the captain didn't mind at all as long as the fishing was good and the passengers were having a good time. The crew at Infinity Charters clearly love fishing and pride themselves on providing a great experience for their customers. I recommend them wholeheartedly and will certainly book another trip if we find ourselves in the Newport area!

My partner and I went to rent boards from him and check out his shop. He payed little attention to us and was passive aggressive when answering questions. We were inquiring about renting wetsuits and boards from him, so he took our credit card information and charged our card. While going through the rental process we quickly realized we did not want to rent from this guy because of his attitude and we generally just felt off. My partner simply asked him if he could refund his card because changed our minds, and the owner started yelling at him. He said that we waisted an hour of his time and yelled at us to get out of his shop and said that my partner "got in his face". He then proceeded to aggressively get in my partners face and tell us how rude we are. He slammed his shop door and told us he wasn't giving us our money back. Since then, we have spoken to people in the Newport community that have heard similar stories and the he is not a good member of the south beach community. They have urged us to leave reviews because Russel apparently has been threatening people by text/email to take down any bad reviews. Please do not go to this shop and give him business.

This review is on the rental boats and staff. Did not go on a charter…read more The boats are definitely the best value in the area. $70 for four hours including 3 crab rings is a great deal. They will tell you where to go. The boats are your standard 14'.5' aluminum boat with a 9 HP outboard on it. The motor ran great, it was also new for the season. You need to leave your card as a deposit. I'm not crazy about doing that, but not a big deal. They guy working there was very nice and helpful. The store is pretty small, but has plenty of snacks and drinks as well as fishing supplies and bait, live and refrigerated. I'm not leaving a five star for one reason, they require you to clean the boat when you get back. I was beat from pulling pots and really not in the mood to wash down a boat. They have a hose, so you basically wash everything down to the back and then use a pail to remove the water. The positive is they had the hose right there on the dock next to the boat. I brought my own pots so it was nice to wash them down there instead of later. Big plus for me.

My boyfriend and I finally decided to take that crabbing boat tour we'd been telling ourselves for…read moreyears we were going to do. It turned out to be a beautiful day at the beach to top it all off. You pay in the store and they do charge an extra percent if you're paying with a card (don't remember how much) which is a tad annoying but you get over it. Then it's time to head to the boat and meet the extremely friendly and funny crew to head out to sea. The way the crabbing works is that they set pots in the morning and then whichever boat you're on, you pick up a string of pots along the way. Pot after pot the crab were overflowing and everyone has to help! Watch out for the claws, those crabs aren't playing around. We had great luck and caught a TON of crabs. I highly recommend having the crabs cooked & cleaned onsite. We paid under $20 for 34+ crabs. We had crab for weeks! Cost is reasonable, $55 per adult and seemed pretty kid friendly above the age of 5 or so. Will definitely do again!
