Our 21′ Duffy boats are as easy to drive as a golf cart and cruise at 6 mph. You must be 25 years old and have a valid driver’s license to captain the boat. No Oregon Boaters license is required.
Before you depart, we will give you a quick briefing about how to drive the boat and where to go.
You may travel along the Willamette River and get closer to Willamette Falls on the water than you could on land! Maps will be provided showing 90 minute and 2, 3, 4 and 6 hour tours.
There are no bathrooms on the boat. Public bathrooms are located in Jon Storm park just before the entrance to the dock (see map on homepage) and at the Cedaroak Boat ramp in West Linn. We will provide a map showing you where you may dock and use the restroom.
Each of our 21′ Duffy boats will accommodate 12 adults (or 2100lbs max).
The boats have full window enclosures that can be up or down depending on the weather. We do recommend bringing layers, especially if you tend to get cold on the water.

We accept cash, all major credit cards and PayPal.
All sales are final & we have a strict 24-hour cancellation/rescheduling policy. If you do not cancel/reschedule 24 hours prior to your scheduled departure time, you will be charged the full rental price for your reservation. We do not offer refunds.
Should a manager deem the weather to be unsafe for navigating the Willamette River prior to departure, a full refund will be given. Only a Willamette Falls Electric Boat Company manager can make this decision. Please note that rain does not mean the weather is “unsafe”. Each of our boats are fully enclosed to keep you warm and dry in the event of rain.
A crew member will meet you on the dock of Jon Storm Park (down the ramp from the restrooms) in Oregon City 15 minutes before your scheduled rental time to fill out paperwork, review boat operations and Oregon Safe Boating Regulations.
