Re: First time boat owner
I'm sure you know that you need at least a 6 pack license and commercial insurance to carry paying passengers?

Re: First time boat owner
I’ll be doing the most on the West coast of Washington. But not opposed to do some whale watching at the San Juan islands.

Seeing as it was a commercial charter, you have some comfort in knowing it passed the inspections that commercial boats are required to do. Yippee! Diesel will offer you a lot of advantages. Here is a link:

I saw a similar one like this but not as detailed as this! Thanks! Yeah I’m pretty excited about it. It is already licensed for commercial use.

I’ve been doing some research about the 6 pack. I found out that I can either do commercial fishing or sport fishing but not both, unless I’m fishing for tuna here in Washington.
