Ride on the M.S. Wolf, an authentic 1932 museum-honored historic motorboat, for a sightseeing cruise or private charter on the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Try something truly unique. Come aboard with your loved one, friends, or associates for a public cruise or private charter on this charming historic 28' Columbia River Bow Picker, circa 1932.
The M.S. Wolf is documented by the Columbia River Maritime Museum as one of the best-restored vessels of its era. She is often referred to as the "Popeye Boat". Relax at the front of the boat in the open bow for an unobstructed and magnificent view of beautiful downtown Portland; wilderness areas; or many of the other incredible highlights of the Willamette River.
Periodically, you'll receive the seasoned and knowledgeable Captain's narratives about the boat or the sights. However, you'll mostly experience the cruise uninterrupted as the Captain navigates from the stern and you glide up front through the waterways.

The M.S. Wolf, a classic Columbia River Bow Picker, is an artifact of the history that built the Northwest.
Built in 1932 by the Blix Brothers on Puget Island, Washington, she spent most of her early life on the Columbia River gillnet fishing for salmon and servicing canneries built on docks and villages emerging along the banks of the Columbia River.
Since her several major restorations starting in 1987, earning her the title of "best restored Columbia River Gillnet boat of her era", she has provided many special experiences for those who have boarded her both on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.
