I had a great day with my family crabbing ,Andy was great.Will be back next year so worth every penny.
Ok so we've done our fair share of crabbing along the Oregon coast and have our usual places we like to rent boats and rings from. However, our usual place in Netarts was NOT accommodating our last trip over. Thanks to my husband, we were able to find Zach at Big Spruce who jumped in and saved the day. He hooked us up with enough bait to last us more than our 3hr rental (something the others do for an extra fee). He made sure we were aware of the tides, danger zones, favorite honey hole spots and safety knowledge before putting us in. Big Spruce isn't a fancy crabbing company that overcharges you for add-ons. It's just a great place to rent a boat and crab. They also cook them for you and if you're up for it, he'll even show you how to find the crab heart to eat... Yes I did it ONCE! Their pricing is much better than the competition, but the experience is what keeps us coming back. He provides all customers with life jackets and has loner gloves if you accidentally forgot yours. This is truly a wonderful business who treats their customers like family. We'll be back again and again thanks to Zach!
The people were awesome. We rented a boat for crabbing and they took care of everything. We left happy and had a ton of crab to eat.
Wonderful experience!! Chuck was a great boat captain! He was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. An experience I’ll never forget. The entire Big Spruce team was fantastic!! I will return
An Unforgettable Adventure at The Big Spruce - Crabbing Bliss!
If you're searching for the ultimate coastal adventure and exceptional service, look no further than The Big Spruce. It is such a great location to Netarts Bay, just right across the street. Andy and Rusty are always so nice and take good care of us. We refuse to go anywhere else and have been recurring customers over the last several years! They are always making sure we have plenty of bait, traps, and fuel. They make the process so easy for us and it makes the experience that much more enjoyable! They put the boat in the water for us, give us a refresher on how to drive the boat, and send us off. They’ve brought extra fuel and bait to us on long days and even offered to bring extra licenses for non-licensed people in our group, if we caught enough crab. They are always on time at the dock to pick us up and get the boat out of the water. It’s always so nice to come back to a nice warm and clean bathroom after being out crabbing all day on the water. And they always have our crab cooking or in line to be cooked before we are even able to meet them back at the RV park. It’s always fun to chat with Andy while the crab cook and while we clean. And Rusty is always busy cleaning and even offers to help us clean our personal gear when he has some downtime. They are so generous and truly make our experiences perfect and unforgettable.
We are so happy we found them!
Megan and Richie
