A good
outfitter guide can really make your trip. For the best
experience, go with a registered outfitter guide. That's why
we give our assurance that your guide has met all the
necessary Oregon requirements.
Persons accepting fees
for providing outdoor recreational
activities
must be registered as outfitter/guides with the
Oregon State Marine Board. They must show proof of first aid
training
and insurance coverage.
In addition, they must
sign
an affidavit that their employees have had
first aid
training and are covered under insurance.
This has been
Oregon State law. All Outfitter/guides who
operating motorboats
within federally navigable waters must
have a valid Coast Guard operators' license.
Outfitter/guides are required to display identifying decals
on
their boats. On a boat
with a motor, this decal shows the
number of passengers the outfitter/guide is insured
to
carry. If operating on federally navigable waters, the decal
also identifies
the type of Coast Guard operator's license
and waters where the outfitter/guide can
legally operate.
Outfitter/guides are required to carry their registration
cards. |
