Your own private river boat party fiesta - what's not to love? Yacht Tubs makes for a fun, memorable easy-going-Wednesday or even a fun birthday party idea. We had a crew of 5, with plenty of space to drink and take in the gorgeous bridge views. The driving is novice level, and takes about 5 minutes to get the hang of. I love the Bluetooth speaker and the water stayed warm and comfortable during the entire two hours. Yacht Tubs has a great cute indoor space when you first arrive, with plenty of room to change, get comfortable, and store anything valuable before getting on board. We had the river all to ourselves on a slightly drizzly cloudy day - which ended up being pretty perfect for tubbin'. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Yacht Tubs - Captain on the stern side of the boat - Boating Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Definitely a 10/10 experience! We were a group of 6 and had such a great time. The staff were super friendly and welcoming as soon as we came into the shop to check in. They gave us a run down of rules and things to expect and everything was said very thoroughly. The whole process was so smooth from checking us in and walking us into the dock. We had such a great time in the hot tub with our drinks, snacks, and our music connected to the boat's speaker. We will definitely do this again and recommend it to all our friends! I would definitely suggest getting to the shop to check in at least 20 minutes before your booked time (as stated in booking details) since other people in our party came late and we didn't get to have the full 2 hours but that was our fault. :) read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We truly had a great time and would try this again someday for sure! The only issue was that our boat would not respond to the controls at all and would only turn left in circles no matter what we tried. E still enjoyed it and stayed close to the dock, but eventually we did have to call to get towed back in by the owner. They were very kind and responsive and getting towed back was easy, just wish the boat had worked so we could have explored the river a bit more. read more

So much fun! My friends and I had a great time, the weather was perfect and Patricia and Chris were amazing! We felt very taken care of and the facilities for changing were so well put together. They have 6 separate changing areas, a beautiful clean bathroom, and even offer drinks and snacks for purchase. We will definitely be back! read more

This was an amazing experience, I'm so happy that I did this during my visit to Portland. The staff was very friendly and professional. Booking was simple and I think this is appropriately priced. Worth it. 5/5 stars. read more

SO. MUCH. FUN. One of the goofiest things I have done lately - went with 5 of my girlfriends on a gorgeously sunny day in February. From the minute we stepped into the office along the western RiverPlace above the Willamette, we were warmly greeted, well taken care of, and encouraged to have a great time. The boat is VERY easy to steer and the water is perfect. There's a place to stow your drinks and snacks and a great music set up. There was nothing we lacked! Alllmost the most hilarious part was walking to the boat....in our swimsuits and bathrobes. Lots of head swiveling going on. You know how sometimes really fun things that you sign liability waivers for can be run by people who are little too focused on the possible downsides and they kill the vibe? Not the case here! It felt like the only other people who were enjoying themselves as much as we were, were the two people who worked there. That says a lot about the company. Try it! read more

Really cool hot tub boat rental Yacht Tubs is awesome! You have to check out this really fun way to spend the day (or night) on the water.

I loved this experience!! I had the most amazing time with Portland yachttub yesterday! Spending the day with my group of friends, soaking in the hot tub while enjoying the stunning views of the city was a perfect weekend activity. The hot tub stayed warm the whole time and driving the boat was not as difficult as expected. Definitely a fun and memorable way to spend a sunny day. I highly recommend Portland Yachttub to anyone looking for a unique and exciting adventure on the water! The changing rooms were so cute and the staff were so friendly! read more

Friendly service, clear directions, and a fun evening. They carry some neat things here to enhance your trip, such as epsom salts and electrolyte water. Alcohol is allowed, but not sold here - so BYOB (no glass). The boat controls took me a bit to get used to, but that was the only challenge. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun tike doing something different! read more

so fun!! great people! such a fun day. great river guides. amazing waterfall and views

This place is a complete scam, beware. They offer no insurance on the boats you use and don't tell you the condition of them. Literally being charged for damage to the boat when we didn't even do anything besides follow their instructions. The girl Ally said she had only worked their for 3 months and it was rare that this happened but she's seen it happen 3 times? sounds fishy. On top of it they were joking over the walkie talkie saying they would t charge us if we tipped well? I will be spreading the word over social media and my friends to NEVER waste their money here. read more

This was the most fun activity I've done in Portland. The staff was awesome, the boat was amazing quality and easy to drive, and they were organized in the safety instructions. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone celebrating a special occasion or if you're just looking for something fun and different to do! read more

This was the most amazing party of our girls weekend. Patricia and Chris were WONDERUL. Beautiful, clean and inviting space to lock our items, get changed into our suits and chat before we headed down to the water. The Yacht Tub was SO MUCH FUN. They walked us through each and every step even helped us hook up our phone to have music. Incredible views, vibe and can not wait to go back! read more

We had a wonderful time ! Such a unique experience. 40F while 102F in the hot tub. The two hours flew by ! Very professionally run, clean, and no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended. Pricey, but again, a really unique way to spend some time on the Willamette with the Portland sights in full view. Lots of interested onlookers from the bridges above ! read more

They try to scam you by saying you broke the propeller. We texted them multiple times while we were out on the boat asking if anything was wrong because all of a sudden the boat started going 2 mph, and they never responded. Even when we got off the boat they didn't say anything. And then finally when we got to the cash register they told us about the additional $109 for "breaking the propeller". The whole thing is so sketchy read more

Scammers and trying to make a coin out of everything. Followed all the rules we were given and came back and was told that the propellor was broken. Asked Ally what the occurrence of this issue is and she said rare yet 3 times in 3 months? Meanwhile on the walk-ie talkie the boat guy was saying if they tip well they won't have to pay $109 service fee. DO NOT GO HERE will be following up with my credit card company and looking into this scam act. read more
