Hours of Operation: 9:30am-7:00pm 7 Days a Week (During Summer)
HOW IT WORKS
Customers will come to 250 SE Division Place in Portland on the Willamette River three blocks South of OMSI. Our dock and operation is located on the East bank of the Willamette River between the Ross Island Bridge and the Tillicum Crossing, one block south of the OMSI Max Station. Our Rental Office is the Red Shed located at the entrance of the parking lot for Polaris of Portland or The Dealership.
Customer may park along buildings in the Division Place 'alley' where ever you fine an open spot, but please be respectful of the businesses down here to not block access to gates, garage doors, etc. We have been asked NOT to park in The Dealership parking lot during their business hours Tuesday thru Saturday. Outside our Division Place 'alley' surrounding blocks are Zone G - Free 2hr parking Mon-Fri (Sat/Sun Free). There are also surrounding parking lots from OMSI to the Train Museum on days they are closed for additional options. Come to the Rental Office for Map of Areas to Park if need additional help.
We recommend dropping off items you do not wish to carry and using our carts at the Rental Office (Red Shed) before parking. Customers are to stay near the Rental Office and NOT go down to our dock until instructed to do so by staff. Once parked just walk up to our Rental Office where we do all the paper work; asking for identification, collect rental fee, damage deposit (verify funds available $500-$1500 depending upon model), sign waivers, fill out a form for OSMB, etc.
We will provide all safety related items, life jackets, throw cushions, etc. and we have charts of the river to view out surrounding waterways. We encourage customers to wear foot protection and appropriate clothing based upon conditions. Customers are then taken down to the equipment to be rented. Staff will at this time review our safety check out list covering operational topics, condition of equipment, safety items location, overview of rules and laws, and items to avoid damage. Most of our fleet is located in the water but some we keep on trailers where customers can 'trailer away'.
From our dock near Downtown Portland it is a 20-45 minute ride depending upon conditions and which craft your rent to reach the Columbia River or Oregon City Falls. We have been doing watercraft rentals since 1994. Our fleet is one of the nicest you will find anywhere in this region of the country. Happy boating!
