Everyone was incredibly friendly. I talked to several people throughout booking this trip because I had to change the date and time twice. They were so nice about it. The captain and crew made sure we had a good time. They were knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend.

Went on a coho fishing charter! Captain and deckhands were awesome and very knowledgeable. They took care of everything and do their best to try and help you get a fish on. Multiple people on the boat limited. Definitely would recommend this charter to anyone that wants a hassle free stress free trip. The price was very reasonable considering the cost of diesel and labor rates these days.

The captain and crew knew right where to go. The hour tour flew by. While we waited for the next, "thar she blows", the captain would give fun facts about whales or Depoe Bay. Great crew and great time out at sea.

Parking is a nightmare. There is a sign going in that sats "worlds smallest" so they do warn you. We had to park about 2 blocks away but not a huge issue. They have several boats doing tours so there are alot of people coming in and out of the main parking area. We did the whale watching tour and we saw the whales as soon as we left the harbor. There. Were at least 5 different whales. One came up closer to the boat and did do a tail breach. (I think that is what it is called) The crew was amazing and worked real hard to gilet up the best experience possible. Thank you.

Your best bet is to go to like Walmart or somewhere and buy a 7-Day license if you're just going to be out there one day or seven days depending on what you're wanting to fish. Good luck to you enjoy you'll really enjoy the charter great guides

Are babies free?

Mary Garceau | Mar 23, 2022
Christina Kowalski | Mar 23, 2022

1 hr is $15 1.5 hour is $20 for kids under 12. But just an FYI when I went out it was pretty rough with the boat rocking and super cold. Bundle up lol and on the way back in don't sit up front or you will get wet 🤣

Do the whale watching tours still run if it's raining?

Jeannette Zimmerman | Nov 23, 2021
Krystal Goin | Nov 23, 2021

Yes they do. They will only cancel if the ocean is too dangerous to go out. Rain by itself will not merit a cancelled trip.

Why is their website so lousy?
