Such a warm and friendly crew and the boat is perfect for a casual bash! We easily fit 100+ people on board after the 42 rehearsal dinner cruise. Shane was very easy and fun to work with!
The cruise was delightful, and Shane was a great captain and host.
Shane and his crew are the best!!!! I’ve been sailing with him for over 20 years I can’t wait for the next adventure!!
It was a beautiful experience. The captain is very nice and accommodating. The ship is very clean. The sunset was beautiful. Looking forward to sailing with this company again. Highly recommend!
Captain Shane is as good as they come. Relaxing sunset cruise on the Columbia. Perfect evening.
Captain Chris was great. Very knowledgeable about the Willamette River and entertaining. We enjoyed the 90 trip. Note; that although the boat was supposed to hold up to 12 passengers, we were a group of 9 and 3 people had to either sit down below or make their way to the front of the boat and sit on the cabin. Difficult for my friends who are in their 70's.
We had the best time with Captain Shane and his crew. Gorgeous night with wind to fill the sails, we will be back!
Absolutely wonderful experience
Spectacular Sunday Sail on the Schooner Rose! Sailing on a beautiful tall ship on the majestic Columbia River? What's not to love?! This is an epic sail on an eye-catching ship and I will be doing this often. You can bring your own drinks and treats aboard! The water was rough but the boat was solidly smooth. WE LOVED IT!
Captain Shane said, "Come sail with us on the Rose for a sunset cruise this Sunday and I guarantee a trip you'll long remember." He didn't let us down. Forty-three people took him up on his offer and the joy aboard the boat was palpable. Many brought a libation, some brought food as well, but neither was necessary to make this cruise memorable.
