    Captain on the stern side of the boat

    I saw a sponsored ad on Instagram for this and immediately sent it to my friends. 5 of us booked a tub for a Sunday afternoon in July. Patricia and Chris were super welcoming and accommodating. The pre-trip lounge was swanky. My group was concerned about the tub water being too hot on a hot day... but Patricia assured us they take this into account and strive to make the temperature perfect - and she was right! The temp was truly perfect. We had so much fun cruising up and down the willamette listening to our playlist on the tub's Bluetooth speaker. This trip really exceeded our expectations and we would recommend for any group wanting to try something one-of-a-kind!

    My first time on a yacht tub was such a unique and fun experience! I loved relaxing in the warm water, listening to music, and watching the downtown buildings light up along the river. It was the perfect mix of chill and adventure. Definitely a must-do if you're visiting Portland!

    We chartered a Saturday evening cruise and it was simply perfection! The boats are easy to drive, roomy, and super clean. There is plenty of space to store towels, bevs, and even a dry box to keep your phones safe during the trip. Patricia and Chris were working and they gave easy to follow instructions and took great care of us before and after the trip. I have no complaints, it was a really good experience.

    I have never had so much fun on the Willamette River! Holy smokes! Yacht Tubs is where it's at. We had so much fun. Clear expectations, a welcoming staff, and a fun time. The temp of the water was perfect. The music system was bumpin'. We watched the Christmas Ships under the stars with the Portland skyline in the background. MAGICAL! Hil and Chris were so helpful and friendly and made the experience so much better. Hot cocoa at the made everything perfect! This is our new holiday tradition! Thank you!

    I would 10/10 recommend Yacht Tubs in Portland. It was an amazing experience and would love to do it again! Allie and Peter helped us out and they were funny and super friendly. Three of us went on a rainy Monday morning and we only saw 1 boat on the river. It was awesome! You won't regret doing this in Oregon.

    We had a blast on our Yacht Tub! The employees were super nice and helpful. We added eucalyptus (+$18) to the tub and brought food/drinks to snack on for our 2 hour float. Boy did that water stay HOT! Maneuvering the boat is simple - careful on days with more current! We will absolutely do this again when we come back to Portland. We did a 7-9pm float in March.

    Great time had by all of us!  Yacht Tubs staff were extremely professional and made sure we were happy and SAFE!  We will be back!!

    GREAT EXPERIENCE! Fun and professional staff! We will be back! The staff made sure we had a great time and most importantly that we were safe!

    My husband, friend, teenage son, and I booked a Yacht Tub on the last night of our 2 week Oregon vacation and the experience was a clear highlight of the vacation! Our booking was for 6-8pm on a Wednesday night in August. We arrived about 20mins early, as requested. There was ample parking nearby, reasonably priced. The Yacht Tub Club was easy to find - it was clean, well-equipped, and comfy. Allie greeted us and gave us a run-down of what to expect, and then gave us time to change and lock up our belongings. We brought a small cooler of drinks and a paper bag full of snacks - Allie gave us a soft cooler for the snacks since the paper bags tend to get wet and break (yep - we weren't thinking!). At the dock, Sean greeted us, helped us onto the boat, helped us connect our phone to the Bluetooth speaker, and gave my husband clear and easy instructions on how to control the boat. Allie and Sean gathered our coverups in an IKEA bag and our shoes in a bucket and loaded them into the dry storage area of the boat, along with our beverages and snacks. There was also a small dry box on the boat for phone storage with easy access (for taking photos and changing the music). Then we were off! We cruised down to Broadway Bridge, enjoying the unique view of Portland. Unfortunately, the steering went out when we got to Broadway Bridge and we were unable to navigate back. We called Allie at the number that was clearly provided on a laminated piece of paper. The first thing Allie asked was "Do we feel safe/are we in a safe location?" She shared that Sean would be down to help us ASAP and tow us if needed. Sean arrived and towed us back to the dock area - he was very professional and friendly, we enjoyed talking with him. When we arrived to the dock area, he gave us the option to drop anchor or tie to the dock to enjoy the rest of our 2hr time. Despite the minor hiccup, we still enjoyed our full 2hrs thanks to Allie and Sean being extremely professional, accommodating, and friendly. We highly recommend this experience and hope to do it again the next time we are in Portland!

    Absolutely lovely! So fun and warm. Staff was super sweet and informative. It was a beautiful experience!

    Ask the Community - Yacht Tubs

    How hot is the water?can a one year old be on the boat ? If so do they count in the 6 person limit?

    Do you use chlorine or similar chemicals in the tubs?

    No we do not use chemicals in the water. Between each rental, the water is pumped out, the tub is cleaned with biodegradable soaps and new, fresh water is added to the tub so each reservation stays FRESH!

    Could 7 girls possible fit together?

    It is 6 person max, and pretty sure it's a hard stop at that number :)

    Is this BYOB?

    yes

    Life these days is at warp speed and this cruise is the perfect way to slow things down!!!…read more This beautiful, old ship is something to truly check out! Rose is her name and Captain Shane was not disappointing! Not only was he our Captain, oh Captain, he was extremely informative (educating us on safety protocol) open for questions, and pictures at the helm!We couldn't have asked for a more personable & entertaining Captain! In fact, I'd pay to see him in a comedy club! The ship itself holds 49 passengers and its big enough to move around and not feel like sardines, all packed in shoulder to shoulder. It has 2 bathrooms, a small kitchen with salon and I believe it's 3 levels. The only warning that I have is the dock is quite steep on your way to the ship and what goes down must come up, so it's not the easiest return to the parking lot but it's doable. I.e., I have had both knees replaced and have chronic back pain and I made it. Wear good shoes. We were on the river right at 6:30 and Captain Shane immediately put the mainsail up. I felt like I was back East, Westport Harbor, Mass. in 1976! My buddies and I were out on little skiffs when the Tall Ships started heading home after participating in the 1976 Bi Centennial celebrations They were absolutely majestic and a sight that I will remember forever! I want to say to both locals and visitors that the, Schooner Rose, is a special gift to everyone that enjoys gorgeous sunsets, our beautiful river and that lazy kind of feeling you get sailing! You will forget, even for an hour and a half, your problems, the worlds problems and the uncertainties that come with it all! BEST prescription ever!! Thanks, Captain Shane, and crew, for a memorable experience!

It was a beautiful evening on the Columbia River with ample room to move around the ship and 3 decks. We sat on the couch on the forward part of the ship and it was like being in our living room but with an amazing view. Captain Shane even allowed me to captain the ship and put on his captain's hat for a bit and his first mate showed me how to use the rudder control and compass and some basic right of way rules. I had a blast. Truly a one of a kind experience. They offered snacks as well and at the end of the tour, we sat on the ship docked with our friends and watched the sun fully set, talked with Captain Shane, and I even got a tour of the engine room. Hands down the best boat cruise in Portland. You can even bring your own drinks and food and we had a little picnic onboard. Note that in the future, they will AirBnB out the ship which would be an awesome stay.

    Heads up! The ramp down to the boat is very, very steep. I'm able bodied and it hurts my knees…read more They have a solution if you're unable to walk the ramp, but it's a real adventure. It's so steep that they offer a wheelchair tied to a rolling machine with a rope. The special machine slowly pulls the chair on the ramp because it's not safe for a human to push or pull or even navigate your own wheels. Steeeep. Super steep. The first floor has a bathroom; the second floor and the rooftop do not. If you can't navigate stairs, you are stuck on the first floor. There really isn't a bad seat on the boat. Even if you aren't sitting right at the window, there is a perfectly awesome view from the middle. The second level is fully enclosed, except for a small patio in the front. Level three is the partially covered open air roof rooftop. There's a small gift shop up top towards the front that leads to the navigation quarters. You can talk to the navigation crew and the captain. Very cool. Overall, it's super fun to be on a boat. I'm grateful for what we have and the name does fit: The Portland Spirit. This one has the aesthetic of a good old Portland dive bar. It's not fancy; it's apparent that it hasn't been renovated or updated in ages. The tables have peeling laminate and the chairs have that familiar Portland grime. Looks like It was built in 1986 (it was). HAPPY HOUR CRUISE EXPERIENCE Our group was not able to navigate stairs, but they allowed us to stay on the first floor even though it was not open for happy hour (on our cruise) and made special trips to serve us since the bar was only open on the second floor. There is an ongoing narration about history and sites to see along the way, so if you are hoping to have a conversation, keep that in mind. Happy cruising!

    We booked the big foot cruise. 2 adults and 2 teens. We were the last on the boat. The headphones…read morewere scattered about and 2 of us didn't get them. The boat was really crowded. People sit sideways on the small bench so there is little room in order to see out. Without headphones you can't hear the narration so it just becomes a boat ride. I wouldn't do this again.

    Im not sure how successful folks are with catching fish in this large pond, but sitting by the dock…read moreis very peaceful. The lake is centered around the shopping mall so there are a few restaurant that overlook the lake. There are also ducks that live there.

    Came here today with fishing friend who did some actual fishing. Nothing was caught (fish 1 -…read morehumans 0), but it was really OK, and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in my camping chair and watching the fish jump in the air and the world passing by. A few other people were down on the dock casting for fish, others sat on the various rock formations sort of zoning out, and it was a real pleasure to see the children and parents sharing something they really loved. If the youngsters aren't interested in the fishing, they can come down and feed the ducks - such fun. The water is so clear you can see down to rocks and plants on the bottom and also nearest the dock flashes of the goldfish as they glide along (these goldfish eventually grow into some very large carp). There are evidently some sturgeon as well along with the rainbow trout, and also lots of ducks and other water birds (a few still with babies). Oh yes, lots of dragonflies - flashes of black and fiery orange red - add to the charm. People who fish welcome you right into their society and talk readily about their fishing experiences and how the big one got away and even why. This is a terrific family experience and for those who want to come out alone. The best time is to come early, before 7, and especially after the lake has been re-stocked, if you want to catch some fish. But like I said, it's a wonderful experience whether fish are caught or not. Give it a try. And remember if you don't catch any fish, you can hike back up to the shopping center above and get some breakfast. Not a bad day at all, in fact a damn fine one if you ask me.
