Crab Boat Rentals in Newport, Oregon
Your Oregon Coast Adventure Starts Here
There's something special about a day on the water in Newport. The salty ocean air, the boats moving through the harbor, the excitement of pulling up your first crab pot, and the possibility of bringing home a fresh catch. It's the kind of coastal experience that turns an ordinary getaway into a story worth telling.
At Embarcadero Resort, you don't have to watch the adventure from the shore. Our on-site marina makes it easy to get out on the water and experience one of Newport's favorite coastal traditions: crabbing.
Your boat rental includes:
14-foot fiberglass skiff with 9.9HP outboard motor
Three baited crab rings, Crab measuring tool and a Bucket
Life jackets and Emergency safety box
Access to crab cookers
Choose Your Time on the Water
Choose a rental that fits your plans, gather your crew, and head out to enjoy a few hours on the water. Maybe you'll come back with a bucket full of Dungeness crab, or maybe the best part will be the time spent together. Either way, it's a Newport experience you'll remember.
2-Hour Rental: $100
4-Hour Rental: $175

A $200 refundable deposit is required for each boat. Deposits paid by credit card are refunded within 3–5 business days.
