Safety and Professionalism
The saying goes that there is never such a thing as a bad day on the water however being on the water carries risks. People get hurt or worse every year and on almost every body of water, including the ones we fish and play on. Sometimes these situations are unavoidable even with the best guide out there. You want a guide that will give you the best chance of bringing home happy memories.
Knowledge and Training
First Aid Training and Coast Guard licensing are just the beginning. While there are always risks on the water, the best way to reduce the chances of something going wrong is through decades of experience.
The right equipment
Meeting the minimum is not enough. Whether it’s the basics like first aid kit and fire extinguishers or having the ability to get help if the worst happens, we all want to make it home safe from our adventures.
The right attitude
Safety is a state of mind. This means not taking unnecessary risks, maintaining awareness of what’s going on, and acting professionally at all times, even when others might not be..
