Sailing can change your life. It changed mine. I'm Captain Shane St. Clair, founder of Scovare Yachts, Inc. & Expeditions. Since I first coaxed a beat-up Snark Sailboat across the lake when I was 13 years old, I've been entranced by how the alchemy of wind and water moves us.
With over 50 years of experience in boating and sailing, I have a deep passion for the water and a commitment to providing you with unforgettable experiences. I founded my small business in 2003 and our mission at Scovare Yachts is to help everyone discover the magic of sailing and boating.
Based in Portland, Oregon, on the beautiful Willamette River, we offer unforgettable experiences on the water, including private sailing charters, boat rentals, scenic river tours, and guided bridge tours. Whether you're planning a custom celebration, corporate event, birthday party, bachelor or bachelorette party, wedding, or just a relaxing day on the water, our tailored experiences ensure a perfect adventure for every occasion.
Scovare (sko-vah-ray) means to unearth, find, to discover after a search. Isn't it time you discovered the magic of sailing?

"During my bachelor party weekend in Portland we enjoyed a boat tour with Captain Shane. We all had a fantastic time! Shane is a superb captain and lots of fun. He really went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great time on the water. As a bonus we learnt things about the city and saw some incredible houses that flank the water. It was BYOB which was ideal and a few of the boys even managed a quick swim in the river. Thanks again, Shane! It really was a highlight of our weekend!" - Nick Neubert
"Our family had a great time with Captain Chris. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Looking forward to the next tour." - Rosa Moses
"We were interested in a river cruise suitable for our elderly handicapped mom and Scovare surpassed our expectations with the pontoon boat. It was a very nice 1.5 hour cruise. Captain Shane's superb knowledge of the river basin and willingness to tailor the cruise to our every whim resulted in an exceptional experience." - Joseph Covell
