All Depth Charters is the small boat with the biggest review record in Newport. Captain Greg runs a 21 foot Arima out of South Beach and carries a 5.0 rating across nearly 200 FishingBooker trips, the deepest clean record in the port, built on local knowledge and a conservation minded reputation anglers single out. The boat fishes light and quick close to shore for rockfish, lingcod, and salmon, with offshore halibut for a pair of anglers and river trips for steelhead and fall salmon on the side. For two to four people who want a personal day and a captain with a long, spotless track record, it is a genuinely strong choice, as long as you book it for what it is built for.
The verdict and where it ranks
At 8.0 All Depth is a strong choice and ranks fourth in Newport, behind the larger private six packs and Yaquina Bay’s head boats but clear of Newport Tradewinds. The score is a study in a real trade off: the captain and the track record are top of the port, but the boat holds the number down. A 21 foot hull that fishes five anglers, and only two on the offshore halibut run, cannot match the range and capacity of Prospector’s or the big Yaquina Bay Deltas. So the honest read is narrow but high: for a small group fishing rockfish, lingcod, or salmon close to shore, All Depth is one of the best days in Newport. For a six person offshore tuna or halibut charter, pick a bigger boat. Compare the field on the Newport ranking.
The boat
The boat is a 21 foot Arima, a small, seaworthy welded hull, with a single outboard, a top end around 35 knots, and GPS, a VHF radio, and a fishfinder aboard, plus a head and an icebox for the catch. It is the smallest boat in the ranked Newport fleet, and that is the whole story of its score. Close to shore on a fishable day it is quick, nimble, and easy to fish for a handful of anglers. On a longer offshore run it carries less margin and fewer people than the bigger boats, which is why the halibut trip is capped at two. There is nothing wrong with the boat; it is simply built for nearshore work, and the ranking reflects that rather than any fault in its upkeep.
The fishing and what you target
All Depth fishes the nearshore Newport calendar hard and adds river trips most ocean boats do not. Rockfish and lingcod are the staples, under the 2026 limits of four rockfish and three lingcod per angler, with ocean salmon for Chinook and coho in summer and a Yaquina Bay fall salmon option. Offshore Pacific halibut runs on the central Oregon coast all depth dates, May into October in 2026, for a pair of anglers. Captain Greg also runs steelhead and fall salmon trips on the coastal rivers, a useful backup when the ocean is closed out by weather. He has a name for matching the trip to the bite and for handling fish carefully, which fits a 2026 season that leans harder on descending devices and tighter rockfish rules. Confirm the current ocean dates with ODFW.
Trips and prices
All Depth posts a full grid on its FishingBooker listing, priced for the whole boat with a two angler base and a charge per extra angler up to five. An ocean rockfish trip (5 hours) is $450, an ocean salmon trip (6 hours) $550, a kings, lings, and rockfish combo (7 hours) $700, and a private offshore halibut trip (9 hours, two anglers) $900. Rods, reels, tackle, and live and artificial bait are included, and cancellation is free with 30 days notice, which is a fairer policy than most. The Oregon license, tags, and Ocean Endorsement are separate, as on every boat here. For two anglers the per head cost lands near the head boat seats while buying a private boat, which is the value case; for a full group, the bigger boats spread the cost further. The cost guide breaks the tiers down.
The crew
Captain Greg is the reason the record is what it is. Across 197 FishingBooker trips at a straight 5.0, anglers describe a captain who knows the grounds in and around Newport cold and who is as keen on releasing fish well as catching them. That depth and consistency, more trips than any other boat in the port without a sour review, is the strongest track record in Newport and the core of the score. On a small boat the captain is the entire crew, so you get his full attention; the flip side is that there is no second deckhand working the rail on a busy bite.
Booking and what to know
Book through the FishingBooker listing, early for summer salmon and halibut. Bring food and drink, warm waterproof layers, sunscreen, and a cooler for your fillets, and buy your Oregon license, tags, and Ocean Endorsement online beforehand. Because it is a small boat, the weather call matters more than it does on the big Deltas, so keep the date flexible and expect a pre dawn start from South Beach. If you have a larger group, ask about combining or look to a bigger boat in the port.
How we scored it
All Depth earns its 8.0 on the deepest clean record in Newport and a captain anglers trust, pulled back to the strong band, not the top, by a small 21 foot boat that caps capacity and offshore range. Track record is its highest factor at the top of the port, and boat and equipment its lowest, which is exactly the shape of an excellent small boat operation.
