SMALL BOAT RESOURCES
For small boat, near-shore operations, PIs are
expected to ensure that the boat meets applicable boating safety regulations of the USCG,
state and local authorities, and to exercise prudent judgement about the safety
of such operations.
Please obtain a copy of the "SIO Policy for Chartering or Use of Non-UNOLS
Vessels" from SIO purchasing if you are planning to charter
a small boat.
