Carrying Passengers for Hire and Outfitting Company Information
Utah has additional and specific requirements for those people or businesses that carry passengers for hire. Examples include: a lake or river fishing guide who performs a service from a boat, a whitewater river rafting guide, or a wakeboard school instructor who takes people out on a motorboat to teach them how to wakeboard.
According to the Utah Boating Act, "Carrying Passengers for Hire" is defined as "to transport persons on vessels or to lead persons on vessels for consideration." In addition, "Consideration" is defined as "something of value given or done in exchange for something given or done by another."
