A Message from Captain Scott
As a USCG Charter Captain since 2017, I offer safe, unforgettable Willamette River tours. My unique background in emergency services and extensive on-river experience sets me apart, offering a blend of adventure and security for an unparalleled experience. 35 years as a Firefighter EMT, ten of those years working on fire/rescue boats has honed my navigation, rescue, and boat handling skills. This combination ensures the highest standards of safety and professionalism for your river journey.

A Jet Boat Tour with Wine Shuttle
2 to 12 people max
Experience the Willamette Valley like never before with this exclusive land-and-water adventure. NW Jet Boat Charter has partnered with NW Wine Shuttle—the region’s most trusted wine country transportation service—to curate a seamless blend of adrenaline, natural beauty, and luxury wining and dining.
Your day kicks off with an exhilarating 22-mile jet boat tour along the historic Willamette River. Escape the crowds and access stretches of the river that are often unreachable by car. As we navigate the river's scenic bends, you’ll enjoy a mix of thrilling speed and relaxed cruising, complete with opportunities to spot local wildlife like osprey, eagles, and herons, all while surrounded by the lush backdrop of Oregon’s wine country.
Upon docking, you will be greeted by a private transport from NW Wine Shuttle. Trade your life jacket for a wine glass as you are whisked away to two of the area’s most elite wineries for VIP tastings and/or a gourmet lunch.

Camera/Phone: You’ll want to capture both the wildlife on the river and the views from the wineries.
