We were able to book online the day of our bridges and lights evening boat ride. Capt Shane was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Portland lights and bridges were beautiful, we would recommend this activity!

Excellent 1 hour tour of the Willamette River and associated bridges. A well blended tour of facts and humor, worthy of the price and effort. Look for the Willamette Park on your GPS, go to the double boat ramps and triple docks. A comfortable ride on an ample size pontoon boat. Take a jacket.
