Our Newport, Oregon Fishing Charters


Full Day Long Leader Rock Fish Charter From $220

The long leader fishery was developed as an option to fish for species of rockfish that we don’t normally access on traditional bottom fishing trips. This style of fishing requires a 30 ft. leader with a non-compressible float. We target shelf rockfish species including Yellow Tail, Widow Rock Fish, Canary, Bocaccio and Silver Grey’s and more. The bag limit is 10 rockfish per person. No lingcod can be retained on this trip.

Offshore Black Cod Fishing Adventure From $375

Embark on an exciting 12-hour deep-sea fishing adventure targeting the esteemed black cod, also known as sablefish. Limited to 12 experienced anglers, this expedition ventures 30 to 40 miles offshore into waters deeper than 700 feet, the prime habitat for these formidable fish. Renowned for their strength and tenacity, black cod offer a challenging and rewarding experience for seasoned fishermen.​

Family-Owned & Operated Newport, Oregon Fishing Charters

We offer from start to finish the best customer service you can find in the industry. We have plenty of parking next to the docks so you never have a long walk or long stairs to climb. Our experienced captains and friendly crew provide high-quality fishing equipment for use and take the time to show you how to use it. You are always welcome to bring your own favorite rod as well. Expert fish cleaning services are available at our docks.

All our fishing boats are fiberglass and contain state-of-the-art equipment for getting on the fish. Our boats are all U.S Coast Guard certified and comply with all safety regulations.  We do not take safety lightly! Our captains are licensed, professional, and extremely knowledgeable with many years of experience on the Pacific Coast.

We never overcrowd our boats! Smaller passenger loads means better, more personal service. Our charters are always limited to what other large charters consider “light loads” with between 10-16 person maximums for mixed groups depending on the target species. Groups chartering a private boat are allowed to bring up to 22 guests.

Be sure to dress warmly, preferably in layers and don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a camera to capture that special moment. We provide all bait and tackle.  A fishing license is required and can be purchased on site.

Great Day with Capt Jack

Great trip with my sons and son-in-law on the "Crackerjack" with Captain Jack and First Mate Dylan. Caught our Rockfish limit within 1 1/2 hours of leaving the dock. Had to throw several more back after we switched to lingcod. Added on a couple of lingcod for a very nice day of fishing. Helped that it was a very calm day.

Friendliest Crew!

Yaquina Bay Charters had the friendliest crew of any boat company I have used! Not only did the crew make the day enjoyable, but everyone on the boat caught their limits of rockfish. Along with lingcod and crab, we now have enough seafood to feed us for our week’s vacation. I absolutely will use this company for future fishing trips.

Great Experience!

Great experience! Captain and deckhand were great and my whole group (7 people) all limited out on rock fish and caught 2 ling cod to boot. Hard to beat the experience, especially for the price!

Great Experience For All!

I booked a half day of bottom fishing and crab for a group of 5. Captain Shannon and Deckhand Shawn on the Gracie K were exceptional hosts. Not only did we find fish almost every group on the boat limited out. It was a great day and great experience for everyone! I will definitely be booking another trip soon!

Best Charter Company

By far the best company to fish with. All crews work hard to get you on the fish. They supply all gear and are ok with you bringing your own. Fish on!
