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.
If you have the right gear, you can get a 2026 Oregon Boater Safety Inspection sticker.
It's happening Saturday, December 27 from 10 to 2, right across from Englund Marine at the Port of Astoria
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.
Per the sheriff's office - To get your sticker, please bring the following six items:
1. Current proof of registration for your boat
2. Current registration year sticker posted next to your OR numbers
3. Boater safety education course card or equivalent
4. Non-expired, good-condition fire extinguisher
5. Proper life jackets
6. A throwable cushion or ring Depending on your vessel, you may also need a carburetor spark arrestor and a bilge fume blower.
