- Nobaddays1951Redding, CA61 contributionsWonderful boat ride and super friendly crew. The weather was perfect. Sedona in the checkin place is super helpful and accommodating. It was a great way to spend the morning.Written August 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bstradsNew Washoe City, NV63 contributionsWe got our limit on fish, both rock fish and lingcod. Captain and deckhands were super friendly, helpful and patient. We even got to see a whale! We’ve done charters in several different locations and this is by far our favorite. It’s worth the 10 hour drive to do it again.Written December 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JTinSLCSalt Lake City, UT190 contributionsThe fishing trip was good but you get sort of ripped off with pricing. We went for a half day bottom fishing and crabbing, didn’t tell us that besides the additional license, there is an addition of $20 added on., found out at the time to check in not on the phone in advance. Then to pack the fish it was supposed to be $5, was told that and it was on the sign as $5, but since ours weren’t filleted, it was $11! $1.25 Just left feeling a bit ripped off. Better communication would be much nicer.
But the fishing was good, great crew, good boat, nice day.Written May 23, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They service my guests and is a personal favorite of my 15 year old son. He has all the Ossies' gear that he wears back in MN. He has gotten great surf instruction through the shop as well. The shop has a great selection of amazing gear and crazy cool apparel as well. They also have a food truck and host weekend music and get togethers in the summer. As well they host the Agate Beach Surf Classic which is amazing every September. All the way around the place is great with a very helpful and friendly staff. We appreciate all the effort. Niel and Bear
If you want to view the surf at Agate Beach go to Starfish point.com for a live webcam that Ossies help establish years ago to help all have more productive surf outings. Now run by Surfline.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They were very flexible when one couple had to drop out, and they made the reservation process very easy. Our guide Lane and her assistant Willis were very knowledgeable and experienced. In addition to telling us about the wildlife and commercial activities in the bay, they provided recommendations about the area that we used during our stay on the Oregon coast. The kayaks were very safe and easy to manage. I was thankful for the gear provided by the organization, as you do get quite wet (the kayaks are open). I definitely recommend that participants read all of the tips they provide and follow them. That will ensure an enjoyable experience. Overall, our group loved it!Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rohn F1 contributionRented a crab boat for half of a day. Very friendly helpful staff and boat was very clean. I would definitely rent from NMS again. Great experience and good crabbing.Written August 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- stepforpresidentEugene, OR5 contributionsMy family of 4 went out with Abigail to tide pool as a birthday visit to the beach. Even if you tide pool regularly, you have no idea what you are missing if you haven't gone out with a knowledgable biologist. Abigail was skilled at spotting tide pool creatures, enthusiastic and engaging with our whole family including kids 8 y/o and 10 y/o. She pointed out edibles which was another bonus. I recommend going out with Northwest Eco Tours in the morning (following guide's recommendations for best time for tides of course) and then staying at the beach to continue hunting because you will then know what to look for, and its hard to stop!Written July 25, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- fishing charter reviewsPortland, OR59 contributionsThe Ocean Captain is a very good vessel. All safety gear in place, knowledgeable professionals run the boat and do a great job explaining safety features of the vessel as well as how to operate the gear. They operate safely and professionally. They put us squarely on the fish time and time again. When fishing is slow as it sometimes can be for any boat and any crew, these guys try extremely hard and put in the extra effort to get fish on board. The experience was awesome, could not ask for more in a boat or crew. When back to dock we were courteously and professionally de boarded, the fish cleaners at the dock and crab cookers are top notch, the front office at captains reel where this vessel operates out of were top notch and courteous as well. Huge bonus, unlike the other charters there in Newport, there is plenty of parking in the embarcadero lot, the office gives you a mirror tag and the parking is free. Handicap ramp and ease of parking is a huge plus here.Written September 5, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Silvia C3 contributionsIt was fun watching and hearing the seals!!! The smell is not so great, but It doesn’t deter one from watching them in action.Written September 30, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DarcynoelPortland, OR11 contributionsCap’t and Chantelle are fantastic! We caught 24 rockfish and 41 crab. The boat was super comfortable and very well equipped. They went above and beyond making our trip as memorable as possible. Zero complaints. If you can book this trip, DO IT!Written October 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ann78704San Antonio, TX37 contributionsTerrible experience! After several phone tags just to make a reservation and email confirmations - I received a call 45 mins before the tour to say there was a mix up on tour times. My Living Social voucher had a 9pm start for an 8 pm tour! The tour had already started ! I was en route and was told the tour guide would wait. We could not find the tour at 615 Houston in San Antonio. In fact, we found 2 other families in the same predicament. Together we walked for an hour trying to "catch up". One of us called a few times to speak with the tour emergency staff. Each time was told they were on Houston and Alamo. This intersection doesn't exist. Would never give us a hotel or landmark. The tour guide was also contacted and she eventually turned her phone off !! Very unprofessional! We wasted our time, gas and money. I WANT A REFUND!!Written August 2, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
