Gorge Sail Ventures operates S/V Northern Exposure, a 34-foot private sailing yacht offering two-hour scenic tours on the Columbia River Gorge from Hood River Marina. Afternoon Cruises let guests hoist sails, steer the boat, or relax while viewing Stanley Rock, Coyote Wall, kiteboarders, and river traffic. Sunset Cruises cater to proposals, anniversaries, and intimate gatherings, with guests welcome to bring wine, champagne, and hors d'oeuvres. All sails are private, accommodating up to six guests, and include complimentary snacks and water. The captain adjusts routes based on weather; if winds are calm, the boat motors instead. Onboard amenities include a full head, galley with refrigerator and stove, and charging stations. No sailing experience is necessary. Tours run mid-May through mid-September. Custom sails are available for photoshoots, basic sailing lessons, and team-building events.
