Newport Marina Store & Charters

Newport Marina Store & Charters operates out of South Beach Marina at 2128 SE Marine Science Drive, across Yaquina Bay from downtown Newport. The family partnership took over January 1, 2022 — sister Lauren Craven and Rachel Craven (Jack's wife) own the marina store; Jack Craven runs the charter side under the partnered Yaquina Bay Charters LLC at the same address.

Five USCG-certified vessels run from the dock — Miss Raven, Umatilla II, Gracie K, Crackerjack, Spindrift — capped at 14-16 anglers for rockfish trips, 10-12 for halibut, salmon, and tuna. Trip menu: half-day nearshore rockfish $110, full-day offshore rockfish $220, half-day salmon $165, salmon-rockfish combo $250, halibut 12-hour $375, tuna 12-hour $400.

The standout retail product is self-guided 15-foot aluminum boat rentals from $110 (3-hour) to $250 (8-hour) — three crab rings, measurer, bucket, fuel, and PFDs included. See the California tackle directory. See also: Stabi Dave's on the other side of Yaquina Bay and Garibaldi Charters Tackle.
