Vessel Inspection Forms

The Utah Boating Act requires Utah State Parks to ensure the safety of vessels and persons on the water. All other modes of transportation carrying passengers for hire have inspection programs and with boats and the marine environment being less forgiving than land based travel, an inspection program is reasonable to ensure public safety.

All outfitting companies will need to have an annual 'self inspection' program to ensure vessel safety. Those outfitting companies with larger, motorized vessels will also need to participate in a five year inspection program that will be performed by a trained inspector representing Utah State Parks. Not all vessels will be inspected in the same manner. Vessels will only be inspected for the systems, structure and equipment associated with that particular vessel.

Our goal is to work together with outfitting companies to provide the public with safe and meaningful experiences on Utah's waterways.
