Off Oregon’s southern coast, the fishing village of Port Orford offers a rugged seascape where the Pacific Ocean meets dramatic bluffs and dense spruce forests.

The waters here teem with diverse marine life, framed by basalt outcrops and kelp beds, making every cast and crab pot pull a chance to engage directly with some of the ocean’s most resilient species.
Two-Thirds Tours provides all the necessary gear and safety equipment—including U.S. Coast Guard–approved life jackets—and prioritizes a personalized experience with a maximum of four passengers per trip. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or casting your first line, the knowledgeable operators tailor the day to your interests, spending the majority of the trip targeting rockfish, hallmark residents of Oregon’s continental shelf, known for their striking colors and challenging fight.
