Boat Charter
Coon Island Cruise
We're taking our classic 1955 fantail ship "Reliant" on a quick jaunt to Coon Island just outside of Scappoose to see what is only accessible by boat!
Sunday, March 23 at 1pm
Coon Island, or JJ Collins Marine Park, is a serene, 23-acre island in the middle of the Multnomah Channel about seven miles from the confluence of the Columbia River and the Multnomah Channel. We will cruise about 45 minutes to the island ... then dock for passengers to bird watch, relax onboard, get an insider's look at "Reliant" with our knowledgeable captain, or deboard for a bit to explore the 1.5-mile nature trail ... then we'll return to Scappoose for a total tour time of approximately 3 hours.
Park in the back gravel lot at The Lodge Carts in Scappoose with departure from Lighthouse Marina (we’ll drive you there!). Please be ready to board our shuttle by 12:30pm.
We encourage you to show up early to buy some delicious food from the awesome and varied vendors at The Lodge Carts to thank them for their hospitality!
After deboarding at Lighthouse Marina, our shuttle will bring you back to your vehicle at no additional charge. Please factor this time into your schedule.
- Take in the tour no matter the weather from our covered, heated deck
- Borrow a pair of our binoculars during the ride
- Enjoy hot chocolate, cider, and coffee on the house
- Feel free to bring other beverages (including those for adults) and any snacks
- We encourage you to dress in layers. While our deck is cozy, you may also wish to step out onto the bow of the boat during our tour.
Tickets can be purchased for $29 per person.
The "Reliant" can also be privately chartered for $999 an hour. Please send us an inquiry if you are interested in reserving the entire boat for your party of up to 47 passengers.
