Like PapaDave touched on, I'd bet you need to use properly licensed guides which means they have a CA business license, proper liability insurance and surety bond, a CA guide license, and whatever other special things like CPR/Rescue training certs that the state may require for a hunting/fishing guide. If they do any guiding on a motorized vessel they would probably also need a commercial Coast Guard license.

You should ask a licensed guide about the requirements.

Hi AlanW,

You bring up a lot of good points. I should have been a little more thorough. I can send you a PM and describe in greater detail, but all the things you mentioned are part of my platform (CA Guide License, bonding, insurance, etc.).

I appreciate the feedback.
