An exhaust passage structure is provided for an outboard motor unit having an engine holder mounted to a hull through a bracket, an engine disposed to an upper portion of the engine holder, a drive shaft housing disposed to a lower portion of the engine holder and an exhaust passage structure extending from the engine into water through the drive shaft housing. The exhaust passage structure has an improvement in which first and second exhaust expansion chambers are disposed on the way of an exhaust passage of the exhaust passage structure, the second exhaust expansion chamber is disposed to an upper portion of the engine holder, an exhaust tube is disposed on an upstream side of another exhaust passage which communicates the second exhaust expansion chamber with the water so that an upstream side opening of the exhaust tube is directed upward in a mounted state. The opening is opened at a position between the location of the bracket, preferably the catalyst disposed in the first exhaust expansion chamber, and an upper end of the engine cylinder so that the water does not enter the second exhaust expansion chamber even if a draft line of the water rises.
