Vessel Requirements For Commercial Outfitters

(1) Each NMV, except a stand up paddle board, operated by a commercial outfitter must clearly and conspicuously display the outfitter’s name on both exterior sides of the NMV. If the outfitter has a uniquely identifying logo, then the outfitter’s logo may be displayed instead of the outfitter’s name. The name and/or logo must be visible above the water line when the NMV is in the water. (2) Each stand up paddle board operated by a commercial outfitter must display the outfitter’s name and/or uniquely identifying logo on the top or side of the paddle board, but the name and/or logo is not required to be visible above the water line when the paddle board is in the water. (3) Each craft must be maintained in a reasonable operating condition for its intended use. Each outfitter shall inspect its craft after each trip for damage or wear which materially affect the structural integrity of the craft. If such damage is found, repairs must be made to the craft before it can be used for commercial NMV purposes. (4) All NMV used in commercial NMV operations shall be subject to inspection by TWRA personnel.
