    GREAT fall day on the river

    This was one of the best tours we have taken. Capitan Scott is very knowledgeable of the water and history of the river. My Husband and I took a day trip on a beautiful October fall sunny day for his birthday. The boat has heater, and he can close off the windows so you can be nice and cozy all year long. We were able to access areas of the river that only kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, or jet boats can get to. To say the least, we were the only ones on the river! We had a small picnic at coffee island, had yummy berries, scones and tea. Total trip was a little over 4 hours. Captain Scott never rushed us and we got to soak up the gorgeous day on the river. We can wait to be back and share this experience with our kids. Just an FYI, he also can do tours and see the Christmas Ships along the willamette in December!

    Best money ever spent

    This was the most amazing time on the river with Captain Scott. He is the true definition of professional and has a great personality. He provided the cutest little snack during our tour and the spread he put out was incredible. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our birthdays and Captain Scott made the day even more special for us. Schedule a tour and I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Thank you Captain Scott for an amazing day on the river.

    Touched by an Angel

    Everything about this excursion was amazing. The boat, the river, the weather. But then there's Scott. Who I'm convinced is just one of best examples of being Human that we have down here on earth. My wife and I and our two dogs were in from a year of living in a very tortured Downtown Portland, our nerves extremely frazzled. Our oldest dog, a Cattle dog Shepard mix, immediately ran right up to him to get pets and give kisses. Our Cattle dog doesn't like men, and she especially doesn't like tall men. But she ran right up to Scott like they were long lost friends. That was my first clue. Scott's KICK A$$ boat, extensive knowledge of the river, and incredible hosting skills (somehow he knew exactly when to engage us, and when to just let us sit quietly and enjoy the river) was the highlight of our week long trip. The snacks provided were just right and I can not say enough about our host. The entire 4 hour experience was intensely relaxing, a little fun and exciting (that boat can GO) and just what two anxious nervous systems needed. Thank you so much for your hospitality Scott. And Yacht Rock on. :)

    Do it :D

    This was the first time on a boat for my wife & kids. It had been years since the last time I was on a boat. Totally awesome :) I didn't realize the gate at Rogers Landing stayed open at night, so I parked the vehicle down the road. Scott recognized us walking down the street and gave us a ride the rest of the way there. He also gave us a ride back to our vehicle at the end. Scott was great with the kids and really looked out for everyone's safety on the trip. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do. I could do that all day :)
