The Yacht

2025 Delphia 12

See the Yacht
Crown of the Columbia moored on the Willamette in Portland

Built in 2025 and laid out on a single level, galley, dining, and helm all share one deck, so nobody is stuck below while the good part happens above. Panoramic glass on three sides, which matters more here than it would somewhere warm: on a grey Portland day you are still looking at the river rather than at a wall.

Day charters

3+ hours, departing Portland. Most groups pick a stretch of river and a rough shape for the day; the captain handles the rest, including where to anchor and when to turn for home.

Overnight charters

Two cabins and two heads with showers means the Gorge stops being 3+ hours and becomes a proper trip. Multi-night runs move upriver, tie up or anchor for the night, and come back at whatever pace suits.
