We had a very enjoyable time at the Newport Belle! The staff worked very well together to make all guests feel extremely welcomed. Everyone was very friendly and kind. The food was incredible and the rooms are very comfortable and charming! We also met some lovely people and had interesting conversations! The beaches are beautiful. We walked for miles. We will be back!

It is rare to find a true hidden gem of a place. The Newport Belle Hotel is such a place. The staff were 5 star professional and extremely friendly. The check-in / out process was a breeze. This is one of my all time favorite stays. Will be coming back definitely.

We were on the top floor bedroom of the 3-level ship, which is docked in Yaquina Bay near the Hatfield Marine Science Center near the Yaquina Bay Bridge. The view was outstanding, the bed was comfortable, there was exceptional attentiont to detail. The main level is artsy, charming, and comfortable. There's a complimentary wine, beer, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres hour each evening, and a gourmet breakfast with two choices of entrees. The host, who updated and transformed the ship, is a genuine,warm and interesting man who is a joy to be around. We highly recommend this B&B!

Memorable Newport Weekend
Fantastic overall experience. Took my love to the Oregon coast. Neither of us had been before. Special occasion- our engagement. Both the owners and their staff were gracious, hospitable and enthusiastic. They provided us with exceptional service, suggested wonderful restaurants and nearby points of interest AND adorned our room with both rose petals and a bottle of celebratory champagne! They obviously take great pride in their riverboat's " home-away-from-home" mystic. Such a wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back....maybe for our one year anniversary. A great value. Highly recommended.

I doubt there is a more memorable place to stay in Newport. The boat was amazingly well adapted to a bed and breakfast, the room was wonderful and clean, the hosts were very very kind and accommodating, and breakfast was perfect. Unless you’ve stayed on a beautifully restored and remodeled boat bed and breakfast, you should take advantage of this opportunity

Best B&B Experience Ever!
This was a highlight experience of our trip to the Oregon Coast. It was the best B&B we have ever stayed in and we travel a lot. Our cabin was beautiful and flawlessly appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable, the sheets soft and smooth and we appreciated the good water pressure in the shower. The view from our cabin and the lounge was wonderful. We were graciously greeted by our hosts Paige and Randy, who couldn’t have been more gracious or accommodating! Then there was an outstanding complete breakfast—eggs Benedict and marscapone blueberry pancakes in addition to a buffet with some of the best baked goods ever! We wished we could have stayed longer. This is worth a trip!

The Newport Belle offers a unique, amazing experience on a boat. Our entire vacation was delightful. sleeping on a boat was a first. The hosts, Randy and Paige, made certain that everything was perfect for all the guests. The rooms were expertly decorated in sea themed, the happy hour was a great opportunity to mingle with other guests, and the breakfasts were delicious. We were treated like royalty. We will most definitely return.

It is a working marina. There is a bit of activity around 4-6am (in June, so it would be whenever about an hour before sunrise). I’m a light sleeper and often awake in the early hours. Even with a window up, the disturbance is mild to nothing. Much less than hearing a garbage truck in the city. Allie on the boat was truly wonderful, helpful and polite. The room and common areas are spotless. The room is a bit small so maybe carry a smaller bag to bring the items you need and leave the big luggage in the car.

Great experience!
We had a great experience staying on The Newport Belle! It is obvious that the owners and staff have put a lot of thought, hard work, time, money and effort into making the experience their guests have an excellent and memorable one! The attention to detail is amazing. Although the boat is moored in a busy harbor our room was quiet and we did not notice the boat rocking or any motion that you might expect when staying on a boat. The views are great as you can look out the windows and watch boats coming and going and all the activity of the port. The bed was very comfortable and room was like staying in a very nice hotel that just happens to be on a boat in the water with great views and experiences.

This Bed and Breakfast far exceeded our expectation. The staff were very helpful. The rooms were Awesome. Food was great.
