Posted on 05/14/2025
The Lane County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol deputies are partnering with Bi-Mart to again offer free boat inspections throughout Lane County to help you get on the water safely! They will also be at Mel’s Marine Service this Saturday.

Bring your boat to Mel’s or a listed Bi-Mart on the scheduled date and time and a Lane County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol Deputy will inspect your boat for free and help make sure you have everything you need.

And for those non-motorized boats (including paddle boards, kayaks, etc.), be sure to always carry a life jacket, whistle/horn and a waterway access permit.
