Winter Boater Safety Inspection Event Dec. 27th in Astoria
If you have a trailerable recreational boat registered in Oregon, consider bringing your boat down to the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol Winter Boater Safety Inspection Station event later this month. It’s happening Saturday, December 27 from 10 to 2, right across from Englund Marine at the Port of Astoria, and get your 2026 Oregon Boater Safety Inspection sticker.
You’ll need an up to date registration and some safety gear to qualify. It’s not only the law, it’s good safety stewardship for your vessel, the people you take on board, and any rescue personnel who might have to assist you in an emergency.
