There’s something relaxing and tranquil about leaving dry land behind and spending time out on the open waters. When you book your stay at The Embarcadero Resort, Yaquina Bay and its adventures are right at your fingertips. Go on a whale watching adventure or see who can reel in the day’s biggest catch on a fishing charter. While there are fantastic local charters and guides to choose from, sometimes you want to be captain. If you feel like going on a self-guided adventure, browse the boat rentals in Newport, Oregon, for your perfect vessel.
Where to Find Your Ideal Boat Rental
Our Newport resort, which is also part marina, offers everything you need for crabbing, including crabbing boats. Your rental can be from one hour to six hours. When exploring on our crab boats, you are not allowed to enter the ocean or go beyond the Bay Bridge.
If our boats are all checked out, or you’re looking for something different, visit a nearby Oregon boat rental service.
- Just down the road is Dock of the Bay Marina in Waldport. This Port of Alsea service also offers crabbing boats and supplies.
- Newport Marina Store and Charters offers four and eight-hour bay crabbing boat rentals.
While these rentals are called crab boat rentals, you can also simply cruise around Yaquina Bay, taking in the sights. If you are planning on crabbing, you will need to purchase a shellfish fishing license from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife.
Suppose you’re interested in learning how to sail or kayak. In that case, the Oregon Boating Foundation offers introductory kayaking and sailing classes throughout the summer, so check to see if any are available during your visit. For a non-motorized rental, visit Ossie’s Surf Shop, which offers single and double kayak rentals.
