This was SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE 10/10. The staff were so nice. The views were amazing. There was a person playing the piano the whole time. You could either look at the view from a window seat, the front lower deck, the upper deck. We saw a sailboat race, submarine, gorgeous real estate, and of course beautiful Portland that was lit up at night. Overall I would definitely come back again and again! Perfect for our one year anniversary❤️

Great experience

Elena_E, May 2024

The food was delicious. The life piano music was very pleasant. The vibe of the place overall was very comfortable and relaxing. We had a very good time.

We love the cruises, but...

Larry_S, Apr 2024

We love the cruises, but this is the first time that we were disappointed with the food. All four of us had the surf and turf and the steak was tough and did not have any flavor.

Terrible Directions

Ameisha_F, Apr 2024

Directions that were given wasn’t correct. I left almost two hours before boarding and still could not find the boat. They won’t even refund me my money. Do not waste your money.

Romantic, delicious food, and gorgeous views.

Brittnie_Q, Mar 2024

Absolutely recommend!! The views, food, staff, everything about this experience was a joy! Treat yourself!

While we thoroughly...

Al_L, Mar 2024

While we thoroughly enjoyed the views, music, and meal, we were seated near a group of incredibly loud and foul mouthed women which really detracted from the experience. I also feel the tab could be broken into 2 components: cruise and dinner. I only felt that I needed to leave a tip for the meal portion but wasn’t sure what it cost. Just a thought!

The cruise was lovely all...

Kelley_K, Mar 2024

The cruise was lovely all the way around. It is a perfect setting for intimacy. There were proposals and the such.

Alaskan second time in Portland.

JohnHenry_A, Mar 2024

It’s was nice to talk with the captain of the ship, also was nice of him to let us in the cabin. The dinner was on point and the staff was very friendly. And the music was amazing

Shatara_S, Mar 2024

I have never been on a boat before. But ginger our host for the evening made it very relaxing. She offered me some things to help settle my stomach. Making it easier for me to enjoy my dinner with love of life. Who also really enjoyed it. The tour itself was also amazing the views of all the river was amazing.

Terrible food cool experience

Jessica_H, Mar 2024

The food was horrible for the price.. it reminded us of cafeteria food for high schoolers. The boat ride was cool.

Departing address mistake

Shawn_B, Jan 2024

Highly upset about the information put out by this app- they told me several times that we are leaving from the waterfront on naito parkway and then about and hour or so before we get another message saying it’s leaving on Corothers street address - we had to scramble and get to the other address at last minute - so it really upset us both

Best experience I have had

Sean_H, Dec 2023

The fish was awesome and the wait staff did a fantastic job the captain was fun. Me and my husband had great time.
