Owner's Description

Celebrate boldly. Sail beyond ordinary aboard the Schooner Rose—Portland’s only tall ship and one of the most distinctive private-event venues in the Pacific Northwest. At approximately 86 feet overall with a broad 20-foot beam, three spacious decks and more than 2,500 square feet of event space, Rose was created for bringing people together. She combines the romance and adventure of a classic schooner with the comfort needed for a relaxed celebration: expansive open decks, two interior salons, a functional galley, two restrooms and plenty of room for guests to mingle, explore and enjoy the view. Private charters depart from Harbor One Marina on the Columbia River in Portland, Oregon. From the moment your guests step aboard, the ordinary world begins to fall away. Towering sails rise overhead, the river opens before you and the scenery becomes part of the celebration. Depending on the route and conditions, your charter may include views of Mount Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, Government Island, passing ships, wildlife and aircraft approaching Portland International Airport. Rose can welcome up to 49 guests while underway and up to 104 guests for dockside events. A SCHOONER BUILT FOR EXPERIENCES A private charter aboard Rose can be as elegant, adventurous or delightfully informal as you wish. Guests may help raise the sails and become part of the experience, or simply settle into a comfortable place on deck with a drink and watch the river unfold. Our professional captain and crew handle the vessel while helping create an atmosphere that feels welcoming, personal and unhurried. Bring your preferred food and beverages, including BYOB selections, or ask about simple onboard food, beverage and catering options. Every charter is shaped around your group, the season, the weather and the kind of memory you want to create. WEDDINGS, PROPOSALS AND ROMANTIC CELEBRATIONS Exchange vows beneath towering sails with the river, mountains and evening sky surrounding you. Rose can host sailing weddings for up to 49 guests or larger dockside celebrations for up to 104. She is also a remarkable setting for: • Wedding ceremonies and cocktail receptions • Proposals and engagement celebrations • Vow renewals • Rehearsal dinners • Bridal showers • Bachelor and bachelorette parties • Anniversary sails • Golden-hour wedding photography • Intimate dockside receptions Our captain may also be available to serve as your wedding officiant. Imagine saying your vows on deck, raising the sails together and returning to Harbor One for food, music, photographs and a relaxed dockside celebration. BIRTHDAYS AND MILESTONE MOMENTS Some occasions deserve more than another restaurant table or rented room. Rose transforms a birthday into an adventure from the moment guests arrive. Celebrate: • Milestone birthdays • Graduation parties • Retirement celebrations • Anniversaries • Family reunions • Engagements • Welcome-home gatherings • Going-away parties • “Just because” celebrations with friends Choose an afternoon sail, a sunset celebration or a combination of sailing and dockside party time. Bring a favorite playlist, food and beverages, then let the schooner and the Columbia River provide the atmosphere. CORPORATE EVENTS AND PRIVATE BUSINESS CHARTERS Take your meeting out of the conference room and give your team an experience they will actually remember. Rose is an exceptional setting for: • Board retreats • Team-building outings • Employee appreciation events • Client entertainment • Company anniversaries • Leadership gatherings • Holiday parties • Product launches • Networking receptions • Fundraisers and donor events Guests can work together to help raise the sails, gather for conversation on deck or relax with food and beverages while the scenery changes around them. The experience naturally encourages connection without forcing another structured corporate exercise. SUNSET AND GOLDEN-HOUR SAILS The Columbia River is especially beautiful late in the day. Gather your favorite people for a private golden-hour sail as the light softens, Mount Hood catches the evening glow and the sun settles across the water. Sunset charters are ideal for dates, anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, small receptions, photography sessions or an unforgettable evening with friends. Bring champagne, wine, cocktails or your preferred nonalcoholic beverages and let the river do the decorating. ISLAND ADVENTURES AND EXTENDED EXCURSIONS For groups seeking more than a traditional cruise, ask about extended island adventures. Sail aboard Rose, go ashore to explore or relax, then return to Harbor One by water. An island adventure might include: • Several hours of sailing • Time ashore on a Columbia River island • Beachcombing and exploring • A picnic or catered meal • Games and informal team activities • Photography and wildlife watching • A relaxed return cruise These excursions are wonderful for families, adventurous wedding parties, corporate groups, reunions and anyone who has ever wanted to play Robinson Crusoe for an afternoon—without actually being stranded. DOCKSIDE PARTIES AND RECEPTIONS Rose does not have to leave the dock to become an extraordinary venue. Dockside events at Harbor One can accommodate up to 104 guests and provide the character of a tall ship with the convenience of remaining securely moored. Dockside possibilities include: • Wedding receptions • Cocktail parties • Holiday gatherings • Fundraisers • Club meetings • Birthday celebrations • Memorials and celebrations of life • Live or acoustic music events • Photo and video productions • Business receptions • Open houses and community events Guests can move between the decks and interior salons while enjoying the waterfront atmosphere. A dockside event may also be combined with sailing for a smaller group before welcoming additional guests aboard. HOLIDAY AND SEASONAL EVENTS Rose offers a completely different personality with every season. Consider a summer sunset party, autumn sail, Halloween gathering, Christmas Ships viewing event or cozy winter dockside celebration. Seasonal charters may include themed decorations, music, warm beverages, food and customized activities. Availability and sailing routes depend on weather, river conditions and seasonal operating schedules. PHOTOGRAPHY, FILM AND CREATIVE PRODUCTIONS Few locations offer the visual impact of an authentic schooner under sail. Rose is available for selected photography, video, television, commercial and creative productions. Her towering rig, red sails, broad decks, interior salons and changing river backdrop can support: • Engagement and wedding photography • Fashion shoots • Commercial productions • Music videos • Social-media content • Interviews and documentaries • Product photography • Period or nautical-themed projects Charters can be arranged around specific lighting, sailing and staging requirements when conditions and schedules permit. YOUR CHARTER, YOUR ROSE Private charters can range from a relaxed cruise to a carefully planned celebration. Tell us what you are imagining, how many guests you expect and what would make the experience unforgettable. We will help shape the sailing time, dockside time, food, beverages, music and overall flow around your group. Whether you are exchanging vows, rewarding your team, celebrating a milestone, exploring an island or simply gathering the people you love beneath a sky full of sails, the Schooner Rose offers something increasingly rare: time together that feels like a genuine adventure. All private charters depart from Harbor One Marina on the Columbia River in Portland, Oregon. Routes and sailing activities are subject to weather, river conditions, vessel operations and the captain’s discretion. Come aboard the Schooner Rose—and give your guests a story they will be telling for years.

Additional Terms & Information

SCHOONER ROSE — VESSEL TERMS & EVENT POLICIES Welcome aboard the Schooner Rose! These policies help us provide a safe, enjoyable and well-organized celebration for you and your guests. Your confirmed proposal, GetMyBoat reservation and any signed charter agreement will contain the final terms for your event. CHARTER AND DOCKSIDE TIME Your event begins and ends at the times stated in your confirmed reservation. Please encourage guests to arrive promptly, as late arrival does not automatically extend the event. Additional dockside time is available for $990 per hour, subject to vessel, crew and marina availability. This rate applies when additional time is requested or required for: • Early access, decorating, vendor setup or pre-voyage activities • Extending the celebration after the vessel returns to the dock • Removing decorations, personal property, catering supplies or equipment • Cleanup that continues beyond the reserved event time Any extension should be arranged in advance whenever possible. Unplanned overtime caused by the charter party, guests or vendors will be added to the final bill. ENTIRELY DOCKSIDE EVENTS Events may be held entirely dockside if desired. Dockside celebrations offer the atmosphere and character of the Schooner Rose without getting underway and may accommodate up to the vessel’s approved dockside capacity. Dockside events remain subject to marina regulations, weather conditions, approved guest count, sound restrictions, staffing requirements and vessel availability. Please request a customized dockside-event quote. CLEANING Ordinary post-event cleaning is included unless otherwise stated in the confirmed proposal. An additional cleaning fee of up to $900 may be charged when the vessel is left unusually messy or requires excessive cleaning, waste removal or special treatment. Examples include excessive trash, abandoned decorations, food or beverages ground into surfaces, stains, vomit, wax, glitter, confetti or spills requiring professional treatment. Cleanup time extending beyond the reserved charter may also be billed at the $990 hourly dockside rate. Cleaning charges do not cover damage, missing equipment or repairs, which will be charged separately based on the actual documented cost. Glitter, confetti, fireworks, open flames and unapproved candles are not permitted aboard. WEDDING OFFICIANT The Captain may serve as wedding officiant for an additional $300, subject to availability and advance confirmation. The couple is responsible for obtaining the marriage license, satisfying all legal requirements, providing any required witnesses and submitting or coordinating all necessary documents. The officiant fee does not include marriage-license charges, government fees or services outside the agreed ceremony. ADDITIONAL STAFF Additional event staff are available for $70 per staff member, per hour. Staff time may include setup, early boarding, guest service, food and beverage assistance, the event itself, cleanup and breakdown. The number of required crew or event staff will be determined by the operator based on guest count, itinerary, catering, entertainment, alcohol service and safety requirements. WEATHER, ROUTE AND CAPTAIN’S AUTHORITY The Captain has final authority over boarding, departure, route, sailing operations, docking, passenger conduct and all safety decisions. Weather, river conditions, marine traffic, mechanical considerations, regulatory requirements or other conditions may require changes to the route, schedule or amount of time under sail. The vessel may operate under engine power when conditions make sailing impractical or unsafe. The Captain may delay, modify or terminate an event when reasonably necessary for the safety of the vessel, passengers or crew. Any operator-initiated cancellation or rescheduling will be handled according to the confirmed reservation and applicable GetMyBoat policies. GUEST COUNT AND BOARDING The final guest count must be accurate and may not exceed the vessel’s approved capacity. Unapproved guests may be denied boarding. Guests must follow boarding instructions and remain clear of restricted areas, operating equipment, lines and rigging. Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. All passengers must participate in required safety instructions and promptly follow directions from the Captain and crew. ALCOHOL AND GUEST CONDUCT When BYOB service is approved, the chartering party is responsible for ensuring that alcoholic beverages are provided and consumed lawfully. Alcohol may be consumed only by guests who are at least 21 years old. Illegal drugs, underage drinking, disorderly behavior, harassment, fighting and dangerous or abusive conduct are prohibited. The Captain or crew may refuse boarding, stop alcohol consumption, return the vessel to the dock or require a guest to leave when conduct threatens safety or the enjoyment of others. No refund or extension will be provided when an event is shortened or terminated because of unsafe, unlawful or seriously disruptive conduct by the chartering party or its guests. Smoking and vaping are prohibited except in a location specifically approved by the Captain. FOOD, VENDORS, DECORATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT Outside food, caterers, musicians, entertainers, rental equipment and other vendors require advance approval. Vendors must follow vessel, marina and safety requirements. Decorations must be approved and safely secured. Nails, screws, permanent adhesives and anything likely to stain or damage the vessel are prohibited. All decorations and vendor property must be removed by the end of the reserved time unless another arrangement has been confirmed. Music and amplified sound must comply with marina rules, local ordinances and the Captain’s instructions. DAMAGE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY The chartering party is responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for damage, loss, excessive cleaning, fines and additional expenses caused by the chartering party, its guests or its vendors beyond ordinary wear and tear. The Schooner Rose is not responsible for personal belongings that are lost, damaged or left aboard except where responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded. Items left behind should be reported promptly. Shipping, delivery or special retrieval expenses may be charged to the owner of the property. CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES Deposits, final payments, cancellations, rescheduling and refunds are governed by the confirmed proposal, GetMyBoat reservation and signed charter agreement. Changes to the guest count, schedule, menu, staffing, itinerary, vendors or event format must be approved in writing and may affect the price. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF MARITIME RISKS Boarding and spending time aboard a vessel involves inherent risks, including vessel movement, wet or uneven surfaces, gangways, stairs, changing weather, wind, marine traffic, docking activity, lines, rigging and the ordinary conditions of being on or near the water. By booking or boarding the Schooner Rose, the chartering party and guests acknowledge these inherent risks, agree to exercise reasonable care and agree to follow all safety directions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the chartering party and guests voluntarily assume the inherent risks of the marine and dockside activities in which they participate. The chartering party is responsible for the conduct of its guests and vendors and for claims or losses caused by their unlawful conduct, negligence or violation of these policies. Nothing in these terms is intended to release or limit the vessel owner, operator, Captain or crew from liability that cannot lawfully be waived, including any responsibility that applicable federal maritime or state law does not permit to be excluded. Nothing in these terms waives any legally non-waivable passenger right. FINAL AGREEMENT These posted policies are a general overview and do not replace the confirmed GetMyBoat reservation, passenger information, safety requirements or signed charter agreement. If any provision conflicts with applicable law, it will be interpreted or limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that law, while the remaining provisions continue in effect. We appreciate your help caring for this classic vessel and creating a safe, memorable celebration aboard the Schooner Rose.
