Columbia River charter fishing boats have an outstanding safety record, particularly when one considers the thousands of paying customers carried onto the river and ocean each year.

Much like airliners, charter boats tend to be safe due both to regulation and liability. On the regulation side, they are inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard and are required to comply with training and safety equipment rules. And in terms of liability, their insurance companies make them operate safely, or else.
